Christians in Court?

Welcome to the Christian Car Guy radio show. The cop show dedicated to helping Christians binds all cars by the book, not the blue book knobby orange book, but by God's book, the Bible called the Coast Guard with your questions. 186634218663 for 87884 is being a Christian have to do with buying a car you're about to find out is your host Robbie Gilmore well the great news is that car accidents and fatalities are significantly down nationally. The national Highway traffic safety administration's December report showed highway deaths fell to the lowest level in more than six decades, down 26% since 2005 and what you think Bill could be people are listening to us talk about slowing down every week and how it can save lives.

No texting and driving wearing their seatbelts what he thinks.

I believe everybody in the United States right now is tuned in and listening to you on a regular, but I have a tremendous difference. Well, it could be on my we could not regular but anyway.

Nonetheless, even with the accidents in the fatalities way down the scary statistic is that lawsuits are even more prevalent.

So as I noted an article in Christian Car Guy.com here's the real difficult question. Should a Christian file lawsuit should a Christian file a lawsuit. We are asking that question today.

We need your help. You can call us at 866-348-7884 and tell us what is your feeling on that. Maybe an attorney and you have a clear yes I know the Scriptures clearly teach her not to take another believer to court in front of the nonbelievers, but what about an insurance company is set a different matter what do you think we really need your help if you're a lawyer maybe or a judge, or you are a pastor, a lay leader or you just have a strong opinion. Maybe you were in a situation where insurance company was taken to the cleaners 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Should a Christian sue an insurance company.

How do you interpret first Corinthians 6 all over to get that that's what I'm wondering from as I sleep. It is more than one way to interpret.

So there is some scripture in order to talk about that and you can tell her to help us this morning we have our very own Christian insurance card Bill Mixon, a nationwide agent here in North Carolina so this is your week for those insurance questions. Bill loves it when you do this right ripoffs, questionable quotes deductible dilemma adjuster fluster 866-348-7884 and bill your you've got a couple these situations which I don't really and I've got to be very careful. You see, my wife works for a law firm is seven best friends are really great Christian lawyers. So I've got to be a little careful but identity not oxymoron? When you accepted them to. I had one client that got bumped by somebody and had whiplash as she's having the worst time trying to dig it. The other company.

They help her settle that case, they have told her if she can't show damage to her car that they don't owe her anything and that's been an interesting two week discussion. I had a client that failed and in a friend's home and hurt herself and with had a discussion on when someone's legally liable and when there's not just been a very interesting week trying to wrestle with this particular topic.

I know you have of you. You have an opinion I would really love to hear it. II would this is a great question, 866-348-7884 or we can get your viewer maybe have a question for Bill by all means call us and of course this is the first Saturday of the month so that makes it the Jesus labor love. We can and are leave volunteer Vic Hill is an quavering in North Carolina is going to give us an update on what's going on without an and hopefully you can find a way you can be praying and helping out with that ministry free car repair labor for single moms and widows across the country and we think Bill Fu quavering. That sounds like a actress. I think I grew up in Raleigh's committee with that part of the country course lizard lick always seemed real interesting to me to and going of the English owner appraisal by the real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure crowd for a sermon lift up our voice for understanding, so what's your response when you've been wronged. There is a picture Christian Car Guy.com of guy who split his car and 1/2, so we wouldn't have to give his wife anything of value in the divorce.

So when you listen to Job's cry in and in the book of Job and is talking to his comforters.

You can see screaming and yelling and he just let it fly and talk about that but I learned something about that. Something about Job. Something about the book of Job.

That is so huge. I've been trying to swallow it all week and every time I took a little bit more of a bite of it. I'm get a little more faith and I get to share that coming up at the end of the show in our appraisal by the real black book. What we are very thankful we are to have walked colony and from Salt Lake City with an answer to should a Christian sue somebody we love to hear from you at 866-348-7884 walk around a Christian Car Guy sugar morning good morning. Listen, I think that you know Scripture… Note that we suffer, sometimes by being Christians with other Christian we let things go. But when a company used in business commercially to make a profit in their little city Christian attorneys or liquidator community. Apparently insurance to a Christian.

I think that Christian has a right to mediate that through the judicial system because it it's a business transaction. It's not just the know your friend kinda took advantage of you and doubt you know your girl your Leclerc work it out because he's the ultimate judge in this matter so that's my idea well I love that in and that has a lot of interesting angles to it because I think personally, I can see that in right after right after I became a Christian.

I've been a Christian, about three years I got crushed between two cars and the insurance company that you know was the man unfortunately was underinsured and then you know I ended up getting an attorney to try to help me with the people that are put on the event where I got hurt and eventually won that lawsuit, but it was all very tricky and I was trying to maneuver around that first Corinthians 6 to make sure that the poor guy that hit me, didn't think, wow, that guy's a Christian and he just won't let this thing go well.

I was in a wheelchair for two here so it was hard to let go, it's it's it's it's interesting thing where I can commit Dr. turn when we get older we leave those things on here and you know you'll feel if you're looking for that little small still voice which takes abiding in the word, and that's the part that Christian you have a hard time with that if you can, so maybe they could do it real quickly and so we could pick up years for me. It took me years, but I learned the Lord that I learned that use the one that you can if you chose you to do so. But if you're listening that voice or if you're reading the written word.

I think it between two Christians, but sometimes you're letting things go and then in other cases it may be that you're so cute not to make a spectacle out of you know what state matters where the dealing with the that we could be very careful with your Christian brothers times or sisters, you let things go.

If you can't let go.

Don't put it out there. While that sounds like great wisdom, and interestingly, Bill told me just yesterday that quote about when you listen when you don't listen to God you could hearing how they can eat that Jesus said if you love me you will do what I've instructed you to do if you do it. I've instructed you to do, God will love you and I Jesus will love you that there's a principle that if you were willing to do what God tells you to do your hearing is astronomically better than if you're not going to do God tells you did it.

So if you're not gonna do.

God tells you to do.

You shouldn't be upset that it's been a long time since you heard of, as it wasn't that he wasn't talking to you is that you won't reset the unit have ears to hear again. While I appreciate your wisdom. Tell us what what what what would you do there in Selleck city. Well, you know I'm story construction field I do construction related things and a liquid along with what Bill said I've got a Scripture that you'd like to get a great Scripture. The 14th chapter of John and the 15th would be a good read. Also but reset abiding by word yelling and Bill brought out that if you love me you'll do my command that is Scripture reset abiding my word. Not only will I come to you, but also the father will easily go. That's awesome right stuff while you keep you keep abide in him we really really appreciate your call this morning appreciate your wisdom. God bless you brother thank you brother. While I some great stuff, and I know you're sitting there, you've got a strong view on this.

Or maybe not. Maybe you maybe have questions on this. We would love to hear from you the number to call in a chair, 866348788486634 truth. This is a it's it's a sticky wicket for some I've run into people that don't believe in sin under any circumstances maybe have that view. Or maybe you have a view it's on how you do it all us things we are discussing that when we come back in here from Vick Hill with the Jesus labor lovely car repair labor. They pay for just the labor for single moms widows family is in crisis is across the country winning update on the program. We come back we need to hear from you though, 866348788 I could while away, and I bring my will and that's often the question in Robbie's worth I only these are difficult questions. Sometimes when were talking today is should a Christian should a Christian file a lawsuit against an insurance company and file a lawsuit. Maybe the question that you have. That's the question we would love to get your view on 866348788486634 truth were looking for wisdom. We've got some tremendous so far from some listeners finally give you this Scripture that that a lot of folks use in this particular situation.

It's first Corinthians 6 and the NIV, it reads the very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wrong. Why not rather be cheated.

Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong and you do this to your brothers and sisters or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God and that is what some of you were but you were washed, you're sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ by the spirit of our God that is to Scripture a lot of folks used to say well it just where we need to stay out of court altogether. What do you think 866-34-TRUTH 87884 week course for to be talking about a Jesus labor 11 a minute and all this information is that Christian Car Guy.com as well as a Jesus labor lovely car repair labor. Now the labor for single moms and widows. We got jimmies is in Louisville, Kentucky Jimmy Ciano Christian Car Guy show good morning, one might be like God and Aaron, the Bakke case being about time, I felt sort of thing where little different than they are now that you like it tremendous work in my heart regarding that one time I thought it didn't have the answer advocate one another. The ungodly that data for inflation where the world of the world that what it being a bad, bad, allow the field feel promptly at 311 the car with an opportunity that I had money and a lot of like the wealthy company that you went up the you in effect that high.

Frankly, the bank already collected that that it likely not. Thank you for the shell of what we are and what how can I grab and I think that you know because I did have a drink and I'm grateful that I being hierarchal member would have been hurt me that I would think I would get 2450 while maybe not that good at what I wanted to make calls but if Casey was not in.

I would have it at that time that I had a nap. Thank you. By get prayer that she would call us with that bird. But I'm curious if you been able to reconcile with your cousin will I do not remember while that amount. In my life. You bring out some wonderful points in there because it's clear through the Scripture with velocity and on the lawsuit. You don't do wrong, you don't tell lies you don't mislead you. Don't try to take advantage and and and and that is is a situation that obviously is done before unbelievers. It makes it even worse.

If you're in that role and sobering greed takes over and gets involved but we need to now be praying for for your cousin that that she that she too will have a change of heart and and be able to give you know that therein lies the real challenge is that there is no relationship anymore and without relationship. It seems like everybody loses. It seems to me you were a member of her congregation right you will enter it out).grab Gavin and was going to treat heart work taken off the market now that but what I want to thank Billy Collins would like to tell you how I'm back terrible. I get elected build up the fight can't take what little I have marked that I would get take your car.

Whatever that you have easy that I'm not going to rob the law while all my hope that you know how I how I shall never, never got a car and never failed with our weight.

I've been my company and they are going to pay her attorney, and actually one of a way of living, felt that it might not work taken advantage of.

I would never thought that my heart by our independent and independently walk away how the nonbeliever is where we are all thankful for your firm. Really, it's a healing when you get to be able to give forgiveness when you're when you're having trouble with that in your hearts were thanking God for that now, or not pray God will help her in her repentance and we got Vick hold all we gotta give the update on the Jesus labor left.

Thank you Janine for calling him that we got here you.

What's your view 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Should a Christian student when we come back for to hear about Jesus.

It seems like wow that is Arizona water. You think file a lawsuit about against insurance company maybe about against someone that is in the believer someone is in the believer. So were talking about today. We would love to hear from you. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in, but it is also the Jesus labor love Saturday the first Saturday of the month where we talk about our ministry to single moms widows families in crisis across the country. We have a network of repair centers that offer the labor now not the parts, but the labor to help repair these cars in certain circumstances when we can get it arranged and one of the ways that we arrange that is through the Jesus labor love website and also Christian Car Guy.com. If you go there you will see a great big Jesus labor love banner and on that you can if you need help. You can click on that and request innocent service and then what happens is, I'll get that email I forward off to our volunteers which the first volunteer in that process is to kill and he sometimes passes it off to other volunteers at work in particular areas like we have had some real help lately to some folks in Lexington, Kentucky revenue volunteer there. When we have a volunteers just over the triad parts part of North Carolina but Vick. We've even got in from California this this this last month and will but I think that's great that we rate equipment. The area that we got some from Albuquerque, but that's about as far away as we've gotten so the process again is if you're if you know a single mom of family in crisis originally was just for single moms and widows and we have a lot of windows that that have these needs than they can go to Jesus. Labor love.com or they can go to Christian Car Guy.com and they click on that.

Ask for help and they fill out a form and that form gives us a way to know you know about the situation to have some references to check so that when we go to these repair centers.

We say okay here's the need that we have and we check the references and here's what's going on where the we get held up the most is obviously we don't have enough repair centers and we really don't have enough of folks to go out and call on repair centers or make the phone calls and those kind of thing so also Jesus labor love.com is another button you can push this is be a volunteer or there's a button you can push to be a repair center. If you listen and you own a shop somewhere and you go G, I might consider doing that and and Vick all we ask a repair center to do. It's a very simple process when we get a need like like were talked about. The lady fills out a form. Then Vick will call that repair center and simply ask will you be willing to take a look at this car know you're not agreeing to fix the car yet until you know what were what were doing and what we may need and what it may need. And then we've got other resources that we can sometimes help with two but can you describe for listeners Vick a little bit of how that conversation takes place with a repair center will open in and given everything to get into the main thing that we wanted to remedy. No you know if the job is to be in a lack of motor overhaul or something like that and they can't afford much time I can find no big help when it comes to putting on a starter, alternator or something like that people if they need a motor transmission and still donate a certain amount of it. So to be whole lot less expensive than committed so many hours about and anything over that sometimes of over and try to stick to make a living.

I think it's wonderful that these guys are putting in enough time of the regular lab for them to volunteers but without the lobby of the one we have all these prayer which which by the way, if you want to be one of the prayer people every time we get a need we send it out. I think got about 15 people on that list that pray for these these needs.

We would love to hook up with that to so all those were Jesus labor love.com or Christian Car Guy.com you can be a volunteer you sauntered up right you can volunteer to make phone calls. Whatever it is that you feel comfortable in doing.

We could use the help and were so thankful for the ministry, but one of the big things that you can do is if you go to Christian Car Guy.com there under the Jesus labor, love, pager, all the repair centers and is probably one in your area if you listen as we got an almost all the cities now that carrier show so there you can see these are Christian guys are offering this service to single moms widows families in crisis.

If you're looking for a good place to get your car repaired. Guess what your money to help support these people helps support this ministry.

So we appreciate them doing that. Believe it or not, webbing and need all that out so that the labor and repair.

You need to look on that list of if there's one close enough to find out how blessed it. Appreciate your help with this. So much, and you can find out. Again all about a Christian Car Guy.com.

Thanks for God blessed fix hide.

We have a very interesting well this lost a phone call I accidentally clicked the wrong line so if you are the gentleman that was suing the judge, please call us back immediately because I accidentally knocked out the line at 866348 this is what it said it was a man. I think it was in spends West Jordan, Utah. That said, he was suing a judge so that sounds like an exception to first Corinthians 3 made a vow there's a wide good. Maybe we got them back bill, but that that's a whole situation and in your interpretation of first Corinthians 6 is a big part of it now.

You have got people calling every day and and I think you've got some wisdom as far as the lawyers and can you share some of what you tell these people will want one thing I have seen it. It's really rare that when you bring an attorney into the situation that you end up with more money than you would have before.

And if you have some wisdom in the way that you deal with the situation with the attorney you can end up a whole lot better off than if you just jump in and assume the attorneys going to do everything in your favor. Our callers back. Yes we do.

We have Richard back in West Jordan, try to put them on. Instead of knocking them off. Richard God bless you. Appreciate you hang on. I hope you like us to make three year while Lori got a trial and what happened to our Constitution, where we have a right to speedy truck of public speedy trial and when the judge's don't opening their own ruling. I think they should be to an you know again when you got that friend sitting there and I think most people would look at that situation say I'm glad that Kristin stood up for his brother. When you mail you look like you a lot in the jail and prison and I and my mother worked in the Pokey center is a teacher and the cases where I've seen them draw out like that usually had nodded.

I don't know, this case usually is because other facts and other crimes and other problems crop up after the person's been arrested, so most of the cases I've seen with. There's not a speedy trial. It's the the legal system is finding more and more information out and more more crimes come up and deals are struck and Richard went what was it in your situation was that the case in your situation or was it just a word dragging their feet and only one issue and I'm not going to it three year together before he even had a trial and once we went and filed a lawsuit and start taking note and you not going to an attorney we all sleep in the bed and the hotel will not certainly, but you know I for one, Richard Emma Christian that's glad that you stand up for your brother and and trying to make sure that he gets a fair trial and I wholeheartedly agree with what I'm understanding that that would be a thing that a brother would do is stand up for his friend in presence of God bless you, Rich. I appreciate you calling very much. I'm a firm believer in the Lord, you know, and all. I long for over 30 years in the region. I start studying law.

I move to Salt Lake with the trucking company in 1979 and I got 8 feet and take it to know every time every time it didn't make any difference which officer was they would all say the same thing and if you remember, 79, we had a 55 mile an hour. The law and they would say I got you doing 70 miles an hour on my radar.

But I'll give you a break and reduce by it after you get it you watch yourself pretty close, and this way towards Salt Lake from Snellville and another trucker already told me there just multivariate milepost date dating okay thank you you know I made sure I do a 55 mile an hour I get halfway down the hill a very light. Let me guess, he said I am I guess.

He said I got you doing 70, but I'll reduce the 60s they would have you got you got to stand up for the truth.

Richard I'm gonna run by God bless you brother.

I appreciate what you're doing, stand up for your friend out there okay okay thank you thank you wow there's been a lot of stuff that goes on out there and and we got to stand up for what's right right Bill, will you certainly have to try that in some circumstances when it doesn't work you need to have peace about the fact that there may be a better way to deal with them anyhow talk about peace. That's a good transition or praise about a real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure crop for discernment, lift up your voice for understanding as I mentioned at the beginning of the show. What is your response to having been wrong. There's a picture Christian card. I.com. If you go there of this guy who split his car and so he would have to give his wife anything in the divorce settlement.

So we have Atencio to seek our own justice. We have a tendency to hang on the things at at and I can remember. For those who know me well know I used to be the Chrysler doing a lot of stuff happen that I ended up losing that dealership and I'll never forget put my stuff in my box you know is you have to leave maybe got fired at one time another and your partner stuff in your box and your really crying out to God. What's up with this I mean I thought it was funny and and your your your hold onto this little thing and hold on to that thing.

And so, would you listen to Job's cry, not Job lost his wife he lost him.

He had lost his wife, he lost his kids.

He lost his money list lost his farm all those different things and Joe was upset but had three comforters Bill best goodness and note whether three comforters. They eat they had quite a discussion but at one point that discussion. Here's what Job said and it sounds like he was pretty upset. It says no that in this according Job know then that God has wronged me, and has surrounded me with his net.

If I cry out concerning wrong, I'm not heard if I cry aloud, there is no justice.

He is fence me up on my way so that I cannot pass. He has set darkness in my path. You stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head. He breaks me down on every side, and I'm gone. My hope he is uprooted like a tree is also kindled his wrath against me. I mean Job is some kind of upset here you can hear that so the interesting thing is what happened to Job and there's a lot there's that sort of a big fish that I'm in a throw out here and see if you can swallow the George McDonald passed on to me and I been swollen all week long, and the more I swallow it, the more my faith gets stronger. But first, let's just hear what happened. Of course, the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind.

After this long discussion discussion and he said who is this that darkens my counsel by words without knowledge of the words Job your clue free or met you looking at me again. The likeliest is that you sent Job it seems like you got words without knowledge. Now prepare yourself like a man, and I will question you and you shall answer me so interestingly, Job is looking for justice. He's looking for answers. God gives them questions and you may remember he asked in a separate series of questions like, you know, when did you set out the boundaries of the earth, and how many times have you set the tide and if you got got going on, you can make this not happen. So the question that George McDonald asked about that that would answer when we get back is so what good came of it to Job. What was the benefit to Job going through all that stuff now understand I benefited from reading the book of Job for years and years. But what what was Job's benefit for having gone through all those kind of things and asking all those kind of questions. He had a very fulfill your answer and a very big fish we can swallow when we come back or praise about a real-life book in the car guys show. Specifically, we are asking should use with insurance company if you're Christian that we are asking you to call in at 866-348-7884 and were also discussing Job's response to having been wrong and his view and and what was going on with that.

It's interesting that is what we talked about what God came back to Job after he made those discussions, but with George McDonald teaches in his book on written sermons.

He said this and it took me a while to try to swallow this but I'm in a throw it out there. He said that good is stronger than evil, similar to light overcomes darkness of those people say that good and evil are opposites did not necessarily have good is stronger than evil, similar to how light overcomes darkness went on to say, and this is the part that's a little hard for me to swallow that evil exists to serve good, now there you go. Try that. Now if you just try to swallow the end of that a bit. This keep right now around, and you'll find it in Romans 828 says all things work together for good or evil would be on that list for those who serve the Lord and are called according to his purpose. But now that idea of what George McDonald suggested was here at the end where Job then answers God then Job answered and said the Lord.

He said now I know that you can do everything and it no purpose of yours can be withheld from you. You ask who is this who hides counsel without knowledge, therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know listen. Please let me speak you said I will question you and you shall answer me.

I have heard of you by hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you the point that George McDonald was making is that what Job needed. He had all this stuff. We did not have as a real-life personal relationship with God in the way that he got one after the book of Job. And so it was Job's benefit that he went through these different trials because in the end, Job was closer to God. And so in this particular case it illustrated his point that evil did in fact serve good. Of course, you gotta go around again and again I didn't say this was an easy thing to swallow, but it's a fascinating concept and nonetheless you can't help but cling on Romans 828 and say that okay will talk about lawsuits returned all these different things that happened even Jaleesa situation where cousin somehow or another, God's gonna bring that into good and you know therein lies a child now. Bill is over here. He study in fast and furious. I know you got stuff that you got share will it not to take away from what you said but in my mind. Dark is the absence of light and evil is the absence of good that in my mind. After many years since study in Job and in frustration with Job. I'm under the understanding the belief the interpretation that God had a hard time helping Job because Job Blaming God for the bad things that were happening to and in the same way that if my children blame me for something I had absolutely nothing to do with and then I fix it and I allow them to think that I calls the bad thing to happen. I've destroyed were it would ruin the deer pictures of me I can't step in and do that if God steps EN and solves a problem when were blaming him and then he fixes it, and we end up with this improper picture of God with damaged our relationship with them. So in my mind when I'm in the jail and I'm talking to the guys I'm saying yet I wonder if Job had said God why are you doing this to me.

If instead he said God why are you allowing Satan to do this with me that the whole book of Job would be a whole lot thinner than 80 high. I don't know that I go there but I do know this that you one thing you said is very accurate that the book of Job is all about Job's view of God and Job's view of himself. As we all work on those two issues. If we can get a better look at God, then we can help but like Job say I don't have it when I get a good look at God like Job did, because now I know I don't know nothing what Robbie advised her that was that if I only had a brain thing and something along those lines. You really think you for listening Christian card I show this morning asserting our listeners all the wonderful calls and the wisdom that we share this morning is greatly greatly appreciated. Remember the Jesus labor of love free car repair labor now mouthparts with labor for single moms widows families in crisis. Help us out, go to Jesus.
