GOD and NASCAR

~~~~~~~~~~~

A Motor Racing Ministry

~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Auto racing has become the fastest grow-ing and one of the most popular sports in America. It is a sport that is marked by great skill, remarkable technical innova-tion, intense personal commitment, and charismatic personalities. Each NASCAR race weekend, upwards of 200,000 people gather for the high-speed thrill and excitement of racing. All of this is part of the allure and appeal of racing today.

Behind all of the lights, interviews, television cameras and product   endorse- ments, as well as the vast crowds in attendance, are people filled with needs. Many of those needs are rooted in spiritual realities that are often overlooked or misunderstood. From drivers, to crews, to sponsors, to owners, to fans, the universe of motor racing is very much like the rest of the world -- filled with fear, loneliness, broken relationships, and struggles. It is a world of people longing for love, hope, and purpose in life.

The People of  America have made a Historical Decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 to elect          Barack Obama as the 44th President   of the United States of America . . .

What does that mean to us as Christians . . .

That we understand that

the Heavenly Father

Knows Best!

Psalm 22:28(Amplified Bible), For the kingship and the kingdom are the Lord's, and He is the ruler over the nations.

There are responsibilities for all

of us to . . .

1 Timothy 2:1(Amplified Bible), FIRST of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, 2) For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. 3) For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior . . .
