It’s 2013, I am 64, God is still on throne and Jesus has not called us home yet! We are here for a reason and it is to follow Jesus and lead others to Him. As I visit with racers at many levels I find that with the “economy” as it is most are worried about how to survive!
To those of you who have read my columns in the past I am sorry I stopped writing, and you who are new to these scrubbings welcome in the precious name of Jesus our Lord and savior! My intention is to write at least once a month, and use a little different format. The scripture below relates directly to my opening paragraph, I listed several verses so you can consider them in whole. But will be teaching them separately,
Matt 6:24-34
“24 You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Money and or stuff) This verse is Jesus teaching us about the things we let distract us from Him and thus we miss all he has for us! The first commandant says “I am the LORD your God and you shall have no other gods before me!” And that means that anytime we spend more time with that rather than with the Lord you are rejecting Him and putting a false god before Him. If you have put your faith, life and trust in Him then we become Born again, saved and are guaranteed eternal life in Heaven. But by our following the things of this world we are insulting our Lord. This stops God from blessing us to the full extent He wants to. The LORD said He is our sustainer He provides for all we need and often even things we just plain want. We need to make sure that whatever that thing is it does not become your god!
Race cars have always been my passion but my LOVE for Jesus is way beyond my love of any other person or thing. It means that thanking Him for the ability He has and will give me what I need to complete whatever is asked me! The words we hear most is “that is Sin or that could lead to Sin”. The word comes from a old word the actually is an archery term for missing the mark or target. God despises sin but He loves the sinner so much that He sent His son to Die for my sin and anyone who believes in Jesus, give their life to Christ and asks for forgiveness RECIEVES this FREE gift.
I am going to stop here and continue next month. I am glad to answer any questions you may have.

God Bless you all,

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (clothing or outward appearance)
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit (refers to about an inch )unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon (the third King of Israel) in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more cloth you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
(KJV)
God wants us to worry for Nothing He will take care of those who believe in Him.
