It had something something that was epic, something that set it apart. I have a listener email me this week and told me that he could so cool he could tell the make of a car by the sound of the starter that used to sit in the lots in the grocery store a lot when he was a kid and he would listen for the starters to see what kind of car it was my thought, that's amazing.

I like I could maybe identify Volkswagen. I could identify the Chrysler product is a very peculiar starters, but how do you tell them to finish every and afford her. So I'm interested in were talking about that thing today.

I would love for you to tell us how do you spot a classic. We want to call in today show. We are on this very subject those grills that taillight maybe it was then Angela maybe or was a starter or maybe Steve a call in and share how he does for 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What makes your heart go pitter pat when you see that grill those taillights that engine.

Maybe it's the starter I don't know you know where my favorites was the Opel GT remember that car from 1969.

The headlights nurses handle, and they flipped upside down so the hood would be very sleek look like a stingray really a cool thing. What's your favorite call us with your classic feature 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in and share or for the visually gifted 86634 truth in here to help us out. We actually have the second Christian junkyard guy I just so happen to you directly relate to our first we have with us today.

Rob Young from one of my new bullet is Bob son Rob made welcome Rob hey Robbie good to be here really B is more with in the classic voice of dial 788-9122 is is down with a couple letters that under the weapon is not feeling very well this morning to you and no one heard that voice and Bob we didn't want them to spread the wealth here in the studio's reset he said in the first rainy sending his son. So were Gladden and Rob when you think about some of those old classic cars are a lot younger than I am obviously what what stands out as far as classic to you that major heart. As far as a classic car methane back. My stepdad was gone it had in 1972 Corvette stingray had the Chevrolet small block unit was hopped up quite a bit ahead of the big the cam sound to it with the will will only start and I had the side pipes that ran down the side of it. I remember when I was getting out as a young boy he always made me make sure I stepped really far away from the car started by myself on the side pipes have to go with the small block Chevrolet sound with the side pipes that really brings it back for me.

Well I know you're sitting at your memory banks are working and your thing about that classic well don't be shy. Call us at 866-348-7884 is a number to call in and share you know it was those taillights on that old Cadillac.

Or maybe I do know that we have@kristincargile.com. If you want to take a little shot at what you can select there because we have a picture of probably 20 or 30 different hoods and taillights of classic cars to see which one you can pick out some of those old Thunderbirds or maybe a Buick Riviera might be sitting in there somewhere and you can see that a Christian Car Guy.com but we would love for you to call in and share your classic what what is it made it that just stood out to you that that's what you want and then come up at the bottom ER we have on track with Andy and Andy Bowersox's got my Calhoun today. He's with word of life and screen like New York and they started a NASCAR day up there and Marcus can be telling.

Excuse me.

Mike remained in by one of the writers of the New Testament Mike Mike. Tell him he'll be telling us about how some of these drivers of impact of the students understanding of some really fascinating stuff that he's gonna be sharing a mess, the bottom ER, then coming up to the end of the shown appraisal by the real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure crowd for a sermon.

How do you spot a classic well for one thing, God gave us these amazing memories that we can remember not only those classic grills and taillights and maybe that sound that we can also remember the emotions we can remember the sounds, the smells it's really more than credible. All that God has given us. In fact, all creation is unveiling the glory of God in the closer we grow to the father and the son.

Interestingly, the more the Holy Spirit reveals things to us. They may have been playing all along but if you ever noticed how stars cry out to you more in the night sky like this morning I got out I had walked the dog before the studio about five and you know them. The moon is waxing almost to the crescent meal and they say that's God's them stand there looking at management while the stars are crying out. The moon is screaming at me that this is this the glory of God and the reason that it's so much more than when I was younger is the Holy Spirit's influence keeps growing inside of us and so is is you think about that. It's quite obvious to me that CS Lewis in Narnia and Tolkien and the Lord of the rings must've been bringing alive. Isaiah 5512. That's if you're sitting there what my world is Isaiah 5512 had to do a CF lot CS Lewis and Tolkien well I'm sure that coming up in shown appraisal by the real black book. This is a live show so we need to call it used to call us. How do you spot a classic.

Now you know that car weighed nearly 6000 and you know my friend who could hear the started that car when you started that car.

Leather interior and not bitter at wine and I'll work it knowledge that you paid up at the end of that article on threat outgoing child glide in and make people play with all the country that current national and out like a burnt orange with the outlet here at the luxury group which are defined out of looking for either one of the few garden I found it had required it with the same color and all that it had standard. At LX larger group. I think the first year in the Lancaster think that that love that luxury.

She had, and I have fond memories of that car stuff that we just I really night five fold and start really cool number three member Caribbean 1977 Lincoln town car continental outgrowth. Back then they got a Lincoln Continental and the town car with figure 4 door is unique because it was the first year different at the waterfall grill and a full wheel cover over the wheel. This dirt yeah it away with that gate is unique in that if you remember the link that all the 77 permit that our thermometer honor the way you went. Plymouth Rock was like art and red again. I would with that. Like going out like a lot of my free 70 partner.

We got so thankful for your three that's pop up about six more memories in my mind I know you something out there so call us with your classic 866-348-7884 guidelines open. We love to take your call 866-34-TRUTH landmark Christian Car Guy P and that song alone makes my heart, classic cars, how do you spot a classic. What was it that made you fall in love with that car whichever one it was from your past Raskin today on the Christian car guys show as we wrap up 2013 you call us 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What was it that stood out in the crowd that made you go man that is so cool you know is he was talking about those dashboards in the different accessories I couldn't help but think of Robin I think it was in 1978 Pontiac came out with a car called the SDE and amongst other things, it had a heads up display at that time the movie Top Gun was out in very much the rage and Top Gun you could watch Tom Cruise target cars with this sort of a device that was in the windshield of the airplane. Well, the SDE had this heads up with a call heads up display and it showed your speed and all and it reflected that somehow end up in the glass in the winch. It was Google.

I mean it was like man I am flying Top Gun when I'm driving this SDE well I know there's something that's popping up in your heart right now, you think, man, this was just too cool. I got to talk about it. Collis, 866-348-7884 and if you want to take the quiz of all these classics, how you spot a classic Christian card.

I.com and look at this picture and see if you can tell us all the different cars based on the taillights. The grills is unique features.

Let's jump out your mind. Well, as far as grills and and features good. Love always, like the hot rod some back like in the 50s where they had no the 32 to 36 thereby had them all some that small block Chevrolet zero 32 Ford that the grill stands out by farm a bit.

Favorite body feature. Boys really like the 49 Mercury's when they put the De Soto grills and have real chopped off and lowered her like a lid slid to yeah hi pot run always been and stuff like that was take daughter car shows and I was younger, some not old enough to remember these cars when they were in their prime, but I like to fantasize. I guess it in and for like I was back in the day there I was, it was natives in our Danny had called in and we want you to call in with yours. It 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

We'd love to hear your classic story. But as Daniel talked about his three Rob was like a chip off the old block. He was like his dad son over here licking his chops white wine was at Bob Rob, those are what we like to call Bob's lids a large car or heavy metal you notice her say that I made_in our industry being in the auto recycling it.

It's really always tough to to cross a classic really do come across his occasion was beyond repair and they do wait way the low down pretty pretty well enough friend of mine was we were talking it Christian dissonant committee this week that he and his buddies used to use the hood of a 40 Ford to go sledding that they would foot they put that thing upside down. They had ropes and because that hood had that pointed front and whatever they have like this giant to block it and you know the hoods of today wouldn't serve the purpose. But back then you know the way they curved in all it was like a giant fly. It would take a miracle to to slow something like that down.

I would imagine going on a nice little cell okay and that alone would bring a lot of money you know in in the in the steel business because of things went a lot.

Well, again we have all these pictures it Christian card.com and you can peruse those and try to discuss which one you think was the coolest taillights because unit the taillights on that old Cadillac you know that stuck out off the fins and and that they had all those kind of things but also it Christian Car Guy.com. I want to point out that I was on my way back. Unfortunately, from a funeral of a missionary on Christmas even and it was a glorious thing because she had such a testimony when she was eight years old missionary encumber Sunday school class and ask that talked about how she'd been a missionary in India, and how should become too ill to go back and so the missionary said he would take my place will Dorothy Abby eight years old decided right then this must've been in the 30s that she was going to go be a missionary when she grew up, and so she did and she went to the Amazon and was missionary and it was her funeral.

It was really an amazing thing and so on my way back I was want to worship God, and I was listening to Kayla the Truth Network on a shocked.

I was shocked but then and I had to bring this up because this girl started talking about that she was making homemade hot cocoa. That was the disc jockey and I said really you can make it from scratch and she seemed to be in all of that will for us older folks.

Hot cocoa is always something you made from scratch, so I put up at Robbie's at it Christian card. I.com Robbie's sugar-free hot cocoa for dummies. Okay because the one she described. You can amount your Hershey kisses and put them in the art in your chocolate milk and I went well. Come on now Coco's post be made from cocoa and so I I put up the one where he actually is Baker's cocoa and it sugar-free. So if you're diabetic like me and you don't raise your blood sugar. You can have wonderful cocoa in it so hard all you to read the directions for you okay Robbie's sugar-free cocoa for dummies number one a mug full of milk guys don't measure stuff a heaping soup spoon of Baker's cocoa. I prefer Hershey's dark if you want to know that I just need the spoon to get the cocoa out of the box. I don't measure stuff three packets of sweet lower splendor, equal, take your pick. Stick this baby in the microwave for two minutes of full power and you got hot cocoa in a sugar-free and it will raise your blood sugar in life good.

I'm just saying not hard to make hot cocoa and I didn't want to be outdone by Caleb so Christian card is Robbie's hot cocoa for dummies if when you you know over the lip of the classic that I also wanted to mention you know we have this Jesus labor love ministry free car repair for single moms and widows across the country and the day before on Monday which was the day before Christmas Eve. I got one on Albany, New York, and we don't have a lot of repair centers in Albany so I thought I'd better handle this for myself. So I called the lady and when I called her she had a car need there in Albany where actually are A-frame in her car was broken. Rob, you would know what that meant more control and has been was and she just started crying and she started Tony Robbie your phone call was an answer to prayer because I've been so alone because some things that happened in her life or she actually ended up having to put out a restraining order. Have her husband put in jail and so she was so alone and she said I just your calling me is telling me that I'm not alone and then speaking to me with and respect as no man ever speaks to me, respect should itch she just went on and on just on the phone call and the radio station there in Albany 97.1. The new light. The net fostering can help her.

I gotta tell you more about the story will pick it up. We come back we got so much more to Christian card. We got on track with Andy from these can have a screen like New York on witness. We have a lot of stuff, that's a plus.

We still need your classic scholars breakfast brick be good for me to stay focused speed and quick lightning. I know that the sound of those in the pitter patter of your car guy like me and your thinking what classic might describe. We still wait to hear how you spot a classic today you need to call us 866-34-TRUTH 87884. This is a live show course we would love to hear your story, but and and working of also prime reason why we like that NASCAR sound is working to be on the track here with Andy in a minute with his friend up and screen like my Calhoun sorghum the interested to hear that but I gotta finish the story about my lady with the Jesus's labor love. I'd called.

She was so emotional about this call that someone had reached out to her and her need in her car that needed A-frame so I thought wow this is heavy-duty so the wonderful thing is that Jesus is provided this wonderful prayer team is called the Jesus labor love prayer team that prays for the single moms and widows and families in crisis across the country when there is a need like this and I have these folks.

It is on my website and and and subscribed over the years.

So when I get a need like this, I immediately send it out to all the people that are on my prayer team and when I had this lady's need to be A-frame and all this in Albany New York amount have repair center. I've had to do this, of course, and I misspoke it's 91.7 in Albany is the promise one wonderful station.

It is, and the net fostering can help her and I had the per out there and all that well. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from her and she is again very emotional and she says Robbie don't ever ever stop your ministry don't stop your ministry. She said it wasn't that you guys fix my car.

It was the prayers. It was the prayers.

It was the respect I had no had no man treat me with respect for so long to hear the respect your voice and then those prayers because you know what happened.

My son came and fixed my car over the wind. Fixed her car. Her son came and you know how much more that mental moms heart that her son came and fixed her car that is amazing and it was the prayers for him and she was so grateful and he does makes my heart come alive to know that that God is doing that in reaction to the prayers of Jesus labor love prayer team so when you hear that you think now I want to pray for Robbie's for those folks think that that that contact the ministry you can go to Christian card.

I.com and go to labor love page and you can volunteer.

We would love to put you on a per team or in any way that you want to help out the people in a car crisis across the country is one of the gifts that we have the gods given us here in the Christian card – oh, now we want to go on track with Andy and his guest Michael Calhoun up at screen like New York Andy it's so good to have you back with us. Are we on track. I think we are.

We are wonderful as little brisk this morning but I'm thinking it's a lot brisker and screen like well like I hear Andy okay great well listen… You know the correct dramatic nightmare. We are leading a national pray for your pastor coordinate to involve quite a few NASCAR racetrack location and so were continuing to take some time to highlight some of the other that we support that operate in that arena, or at least very only connected to racing – so this morning that this is actually quite a tree right we have like counting on and Mike is the senior vice president at Word of life. He is a truly international Bible teacher and some outright time to write books and in all his spare time, but that you know where life is actually one of my favorite places to be a tremendous sense of the spirit of God.

It that I feel I'm up there – and I know there's a lot going on briefly tell us a little bit about what happened like quarters. New York okay will thank you so much for both of you for allowing me to be a part of this ministry probably appreciate what you talking about I will bless you for what you're doing. Dire ministry is excited to now be a part of the home that are ministry aspect. We are working in 67 countries around the world. We work with young people reaching them with the good news the gospel and were excited about that. We do this through Bible and to and conference is looking for local churches. The water from various mean evangelism Bible shipper are major right then Dick a few years ago.

As you know India) that I reach out to me about connecting with them that they can only become like the stone and then dispatch them or having credible time with Blake and Michael McDowell and Bill Hamilton was here after you answer that came over spent days with the head of wonderful wonderful time with them, sharing your testimony to all the camps we have multiple camps. Screen like little children branch 300 acre ranch of 45 acre island write out little screen like and they went over and shared with 500 teenagers on that island and didn't know they will with our adults about our family campground which it can camping or cottage or RVs or whatever and it also would like in which it that kind of a conference center along the lines of the West began to select a hotel like a almost like a goal. Whatever they shared their and mutable cannot you give me an incredible opportunity for sharing the gospel and their coming back this next summer and that their brand plan on bringing them with a matter fact Michael was so excited about it and then Blake as well.

There taking back later. Later on their own with their families and just spend a few days in between. One of the races with their families hanging out being blessed by some of the Bible copper speaker so I'll stop there, but didn't even ask questions or whatever, but it is not well family and my character in our current one. I want to focus on what this, the message that they shared and now I know that you guys have an incredible responsibility of who takes the platform out there and that you do quite a bit of check and I actually sat with you in Florida a year before the year you heard some of the guys speak because you do want to be good stewards of the measured like giving you. So what is it now that that convinced you that these would be a good guide students to bring in and to share their testimony, the message they got share all man went when I heard Michael and Blake and in the river was with them ever was able to be good, but one I heard Michael and Blake share their testimony. Both of them were just so crystal-clear about how they came to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

How their lives had been transformed through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and then their testimony is just so clear now, what they've done during Bible study did not have the privilege of being there with them, and that Bible study. The tracking what with the Lord using them and others as well. Obviously I I'm just really I'm taken back with the way God is and what date they share our III told you Andy I will hide a lot of celebrity type people sometimes they share them when they're done to get up and pick up the pieces there. You gotta get up and clarify what this is what they met when these guys are done you want to do anything that may drive you get invitation and being your rate to go there just clear that they'll with the message of Jesus Christ. So I'm I'm thrilled but you know that they really think we were together there in Daytona. Give me a copy that I read that we actually use that with our young people is one of our reading book that we recommended to our organization nation that that following that meeting in Daytona.

That's a great point in the Christian card I ministry as well is the NASCAR is on track there so many young people that are going to change another. The next generation and change things. Andy and so books like that that we can put in young people's hands are outstanding. What is the name that became the year. Grab a hold right now. By the end by the end of the week will forever be on the way will I have gathered by all you you you need to get that I can easily read, but again the message is so clear in your Robbie once again II when I get the book. I would know you read something like that. Robbie and the message is unclear, and we're very very picky about the books we recommend. I'm sorry our young people and when we got this one and aptly read it I said now there's no question about this whatsoever. It was extremely clear and you you definitely don't want out there for the people to break in and I just want to say Raleigh in order what might this is the current thing that we really want listeners to understand how came along we talk about the spirit of God moving through the NASCAR garage and some of the guys that are leading the charge. No, just like you talk about the prayers are labor of love. It is vitally important to keep continuing to pray for you guys to pray for the ministry to represent their now is an enormous platform.

The temptations are all around and and there is literally healing might make the same part of this.

Literally just a bit of a revival movement and the child is growing and and so it's just that the current thing that we really need to keep exposing and encouraging Christians to lead to lease agreement in prayer and and then just to look for other ways to support. To get involved like you know there's no shortage of an interest in raking in the United States. And then there's all kinds of ways, and to get involved and help support with trying to get something right now been at our camp in Florida.

Bobby yelled putting together something when the data Daytona in February. Bring number the couples there or a couples retreat and minister to the couples within. Also, Blake and Murray discussed with Michael like to do a rally wanted at our facility near Tampa and being conjunction with the Daytona 500, but we did, they would like to rally that they like to bring couples over and will will bring in someone to give a couples retreat down the marriage. The were trying to combine thing where they think they did have. They share a bed at the same time we can share them as well so we go to get that book for February 2015 give not just take when they have gone there with something. There were very vitally; and the I have to say that recommendation you made is just really just truck right in the middle of my heart that if we had any understanding of how bad Satan wants to take out the Blakes and how he wants to take out the Michael McDonald's and in the people that are there on the platform that they have.

So the temptation he's thrown at them is absolutely phenomenal. I remember I interviewed a girl from the Disney Channel one time and she started share me in all the temptations that come her way. When she has that kind of platform we don't have any understanding set those prayers are just vinyl as were praying for pastors on your pastor tour the like in any area around it. Sure you're being an effective leader literally gospel the fact that you're under are much higher than people realize. And so that's where were at you. You know what article is about. Now we want to support the leaders the ministers of the gospel and people that are now leading the charge.

Basically, so you know I run out of time, your Robbie so… [Uploaded you know Mike, I was say thank you again for taking time out of your schedule. The only here did great and glad to be equating out Robbie appreciate what you going to do what a blessing. And by the way the Christian card.com. You'll find Mike's blog very can find out all about word of license. Like you have a amazing history of what they've been different.

Got up there and what God is doing now. I NASCAR through them in Andy's courses links energize ministry pray for your pastor tour all that stuff going on. It's all their Christian card. I.com guys I love you.

Thank you for being honest again. Let my granting you to have fun cool stuff and I'm thinking Rob that your racing heart, because a lot of folks and realizes rob himself. It is been a racecar driver numerous times eating and if you get another one coming up the season you think the I think were going to get the car loaded back up and take it back out to before Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem and so even our list as well will talk little bit about Rob Starley come back. We've got a share our appraisal by the real black book. What is taking out a classic in Tolkien and these trees and live only have so much coming at you. It's all racking my brains. I got just a short time ago, but we will bring Jan home for 2013 so much more Christian card – LB don't want to miss this part until he stated in that grill. Of the 64 Buick Electra. There's a reason for that is the glory of God in his as we grow in the Holy Spirit, we begin to see that grow more and more in our lives and as I mentioned earlier, I think it CS Lewis and Tolkien when they wrote wrote Narnia and Lord of the rings. You know the scenes where you see the trees come to life and they start to help in the battle. Well, when I was reading Isaiah 55 this week. I couldn't help but see that and I saw Sutton and I want you to think about how the heavens declare the glory of God in nature. For just a minute. It says in Isaiah 55 for my thoughts are not your thoughts, either my ways your ways declare the Lord as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher in your ways and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return without watering the earth and making it blood and furnish flourish, so it yields seed for the seller and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out for my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but I will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Here's the cool part that I know that CS Lewis was think about you will go out in joy and be led forth in peace.

The mountains and hills will burst into song before you see the hills are alive with the sound of music long before you know Rogers and Hammerstein did.

It was in Isaiah and it says in all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

All the trees of the field will clap their hands, we see that picture well. Interestingly, my buddy John Owen, the Puritan, which were to be buddies when we get to heaven, but he he he he mentioned that passage in line with Zechariah 67 where he says the word of the Lord came miserable, not by my power, but my my spirit says the Lord of hosts who are you, oh great mountain should become a plane and you shall become the capstone with shouts of grace, grace. Now you see the picture as Jesus displaces the capstone the mountains start screaming grace grace and if you noticed as you grow in the Holy Spirit and you look up in the skies at all the sudden things are declare the glory of God that you never noticed before, when I was a kid, I didn't get that wow when I looked at the moon, but when I look at it now, it just wows me and when I look at my young Christian junkyard guy Bob Young. He wows me because I know how God's work in his life. And if you take a minute.

It's all about only got Robin share how God's with guys been doing in your life will I would say the other day I was hauling to call her down for 21 S. and the truck I was in started the turbo went bad in it.

So here I am broke down the side of the road. I just picked up my first car I was a lot people waiting on me to get where I was going to my trucks broke down. There's clouds of smoke to fire engines are out there and and it is this is really big scene and really reminded me of my life before my coming to Christ. How how big of a wreck. Everything was and I never really was able to accept God's will for my life, but once I came to know Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and accepted God's will for my life I have been blessed with, with knowledge that he had been able to acknowledge these beautiful things and ended the trees are clap and in the mountains are singing that is for sure, it's just like that in her own life as is. Jesus is put in there is the capstone we begin to see things that just had witnessed before. We'd missed it before, like as I was at that funeral of the of the missionary this week and I could hear the stories and hit that somebody played the shofar and it just wowed me on what God had done with her life that I would've missed it. If the capstone had been in place in the trees and started clapping and sometimes he know he takes clap and try to get us to to realize we were missing out on the cell yesterday last night about 430 I get a text from my good buddy Bob at 109 that he had come down with whether what I consider his son. I was so thrilled to have my new young Christian junkyard guy with me here today Rob I am so grateful for you being here with us today. I really really am really grateful for the opportunity nice Raven Rob and for all of you who list today. Thank you so much without our listeners we have anything and thank you and keep praying for the Jesus labor love team and remember slow down. Jesus walked everywhere he went and got it all done in 33 years if you heard me say that before and have a for 2014 let the Holy Spirit reveal more and more of God's glory to you. Have a great year
