"Who are those to whom these mysteries are revealed? Who are the initiated? To whom does God reveal the mystery of Christ? Now, there may be of course many mysteries of the kingdom, but the comprehensive mystery is the mystery of Christ and the answer is very simple. It is twofold. First, we see it is to those who are born of God. It is as simple as that. It is the birthright of every born-again believer."... but now hath it been manifested to His saints, to whom God was pleased to make known ...what is this mystery.Colossians 1:26-27Secondly, it is by revelation through the Holy Spirit. We cannot know the things of God except bythe Spirit of God, which has been given to us1 Corinthians 2:11-12Come explore the mystery of Christ. May the Lord give revelation of His heart.

Every "car guy" has stories that elicit laughter, tears and admission of some bad choices. Lance Lambert's "Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy" includes tales of riding in a 1939 ford as the steering wheel was removed and handed to him. Installing a siren in a 1955 Ford proved to be a bad decision. Putting five friends as far back as possible in a rock band's van resulted in wheels stands and applause from admiring fans. Sitting in a 1949 Chevrolet while surrounded by five police cars and numerous guns pointed his direction caused some concern. "Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy" reveals all that is good about the world of old cars and why being a Car Guy is the best way to enjoy life. "...The history of our automobile traditions is safe in your hands." Lee Iacocca, Automotive Industry Icon "Lance's stories are a joyride to simpler times when unbridled enthusiasm and unchallenged optimism were all it took for car crazy young men to tackle any dream, scheme or machine." Bruce Caldwell, Editor Emeritus, Hot Rod Magazine "Lance's writings remind us of the sizzle that we were, or maybe could have been or wanted to be; his writings take us back to presumably simpler times of dreamy days, giving us peepholes back to the olden days. A great book from back in the day." Don Weberg, Editor & Publisher, Garage Style Magazine "Read this and you will gain insight into a down-to-earth soul, with a big heart, and an entertaining way of seeing the world." Theresa Poalucci, Publisher, Journal Newspapers "Lance's humorous storytelling style makes you feel like you are sitting in the front seat with him as he drives you through his amazing 'car guy' life." Sandy Scott, Director of Operations, Petersen Automotive Museum "Lance Lambert is the Garrison Keillor of car stories. His nostalgic and chuckle worthy stories always put a smile on my face." M.J. McDermott, KCPQ Television Reporter "Lance is an amicable asset to the car world - at once a wealth of knowledge and history, an icon of automotive TV programming and a friendly ambassador to the industry for everyone from experienced gearheads to neophyte spectators. It is easy to see that Lance loves cars, and car people love Lance." Heidi Van Horne, Automotive Reporter, Houston Chronicle "...As a prolific writer, emcee and TV host, Lance is everybody's 'in the know' and 'go to' car guy when they want the inside scoop. His stories are real and he has made it a point to document his adventures at every turn. His book is a 'must read' ." David Dickinson, Creator & Editor, "The Old Car Nut Book" "This book is a 'must read' for all car lovers!" John D'Agostino, Celebrity Kustoms "Compelling! 'FENDERS, FINS & FRIENDS: Confessions of a car Guy' provides a vivid and humorous look at 60 years of the memories of a true vintage vehicle legend. The vignettes are always evocative. A great read!" Kathleen Fullerton Bernhard, Ph.D., author of "The Invisible Woman"

The love of old cars provides many adventures for people in the hobby. As a child there were "special" cars that made a lasting impression. The best birthday is the one that allows the acquiring of a driver's license. The first car, like the first love, will never be forgotten. Repairing an old car and showing it off at the drive-in is a cherished right of automotive passage. Continuing through life with a collector car at your side is a match made in heaven. Lance Lambert, automotive journalist, TV personality and passionate car collector, shares some of his adventures from decades of holding the honored title of "Car Guy." From his first "car" (a combination of his sister's tea set table and a broken wagon) to his current love of "orphan" cars (his garage menagerie includes two Studebakers and two King Midgets), Lance is a person living the life that all car lovers love. This book follows Lance's best selling "Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy." His newest book, "Gears, Grins & Gasoline: My Wheel Life Adventures," contain 59 short stories that will bring smiles and, if the reader is not careful, a tear or two. Included is the tale of 13 year-old Lance and a friend "borrowing" a car; dangerous chases and "rumbles" with rivals; mistakes made on motorcycles; teenage girls in great cars; automotive successes and failures, and even spending time with a 1955 Chevrolet-owning ghost. It's a great book about great cars and great people. Pour a coup of coffee and head to the garage, then sit back and enjoy the reading ride!

These messages reveal the lives of four men found in the Old Testament--Samuel, Saul, David, Solomon. But this is not just a study of these men, it is a study of spiritual character, which is essential for establishing the kingdom of God. These are qualities that the Lord looks for in the believers for the building of the house of the Lord, in fulfilling the purpose of God, and in accomplishing His recovery work. Do we long to see the kingdom of God? Do we want to be involved in the coming of the kingdom of God and in establishing His kingdom? If so, then we must possess spiritual character. May the Lord work to produce character in His people, the kind of character that will come to the throne and reign with the Lord Jesus. May His people deny self, take up the cross and follow Him. This book shows the heart of God for His people in this essential matter of building spiritual character.

At Halford House in Richmond, England, Lance taught through the Bible, book by book. Including tremendous teachings and study guides to encourage more seeking of the Lord, Lance gave an overview of each book. This proves quite helpful in grasping the big picture of the Lord's purpose in each book as well as including important details that may not be so plain to the every day reader.In Joshua, Judges and Ruth, Lance helps show that Joshua is such a positive story of overcoming and Judges is a less positive story with much defeat and how both show the Lord's way through for His people. He also helps give understanding of how Ruth fits into this purpose the Lord has in this area of history.The included study guides are helpful in returning to the Lord following your personal study, to consider what the Lord is saying through the text.

For Zion's sake, will I not hold my peace and for Jerusalem's sake, I will not rest until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp, that burneth. Isaiah 62:1Praise God. If we are so near to that coming of the Lord, the most obvious thing to do is to go through the gates, to commit oneself, to start this preparing of the way for the other people, to cast up the highway to gather out the stones. God help us. Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty. Thou shalt see a land of far distances.

Growing up in Tacoma, WA, "The City of Destiny," provided author Lance Lambert with the opportunity to grow from a little guy that thought the night-time darkness was eaten by magic bugs, to a guy that, on the night of his high school graduation, learned that he was not as talented as he thought. In the years between he was kissed by a wealthy butcher's daughter, forcefully extracted from a train, singled out by a president, helped to identify foreign spies, and found out that nudity and peanut butter are not necessarily a good combination. His regrets include shoplifting at the local five & dime, winning a contest by deception, and expressing his opinion about his Cub Scout troupe's den mother. Triumphs include a short career as a pirate, and the successful use of a motor scooter to win the hearts and hands of the cutest girls in school. Lance Lambert's latest book will take readers back to a time when a typical day included everything from throwing dirt balls at friends to helping bring law and order to the neighborhood. "Lance's stories are achingly truthful, often laugh-out-loud funny, and generous in spirit... his quick wit and sense of the absurd had me wiping away tears of laughter... he brings universal recollections into the light of warm affection so we can take part in a shared appreciation for the ridiculousness and precariousness of life." M.J. McDermott, Author, Reporter, KCPQ News - Seattle

The extraordinary story of Halford House is a testimony to the absolute faithfulness of the Lord. In his own words Lance recollects how God used it as a sign of a deep burden on His heart – the building of His House, His Dwelling or Resting Place.

In this study of the first five books of the Bible, Lance digs into the purpose of each book and doesn''t shy away from discussing the difficulties that are hard to reconcile. As always, Lance shows how looking further into the Word of God unfolds valuable riches that point to what the Lord has done for us today, through what He did for us from the beginning of time. "Whilst it may be interesting and instructive to talk about the Bible ... we have only one end in view, and that is to study the Word itself." (page 9) 

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. Exodus 3:2-4God chose the most common thorn bush in the desert in which to meet with Moses and this is just one step in the life of lessons in which God trained Moses. Within these pages, Lance searches out these lessons.

Ephesians 2 says that we in the household of God are to be built up together for a habitation for God in the Spirit. What does this mean for you and I to be built up together with other believers? How should we contribute to the building work of Christ?All this is related to what God has desired from before times eternal. In other words, what God has always desired is a dwelling place in which He can express Himself, reveal Himself and manifest Himself, as it were, a place in which He can find His home.Thank the Lord this is His heart's desire-to be with us and let us know Him. How blessed we are. May the Lord find His home in our midst.

Preparation is something we should not take lightly, but with great seriousness. We do not know when our Lord Jesus will return, but we are told of the signs of His second coming. We pray, “Lord Jesus, come quickly,” but in that prayer we know that we must be ready, be prepared for His return. As we see the end approaching, when our Lord and Savior will return and establish His kingdom on this earth, we must be prepared. We must be ready and watching for Him. May the Lord use the practical help presented in these messages to prepare His people.

Have you ever thought of what happened in the four hundred years between Malachi in the Old Testament and Matthew in the New Testament? It seems as if God was silent during those years until John the Baptist was raised up announcing the arrival of the Messiah’s first coming. But even though God did not speak with Scriptures during those years there He was working and preparing the way for the arrival of Immanuel.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8When the word of God is devalued, when the word of God is made to be insignificant, when the word of God just becomes dry and dusty ancient literature, nothing happens. But whenever the word of God is recognized for what it is, then it becomes what it is—alive and active. Men and women are born through the word of God. They are changed and brought into a living relationship with God.

Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 3:7–14In looking at the Christian walk as a race, we can often see obstacles that could prevent us from finishing well. How can we press on after Christ? There is a way. The obstacles of self,  and sin, and the world do not have to prevent us from going on after Christ. 

They that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.  Isaiah 40: 29-31 We are aware that we are moving very swiftly and strongly into a period of shaking such as we have never known before—a period of turmoil, conflict and darkness. If that is the case, are we going to be strong enough, not merely to be survivors, but to be overcomers?

God will shake everything to pieces in order to fulfill His heart’s desire—but He willfulfill it. With His desire in view, what is our responsibility in these last days?"Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Ephesians 5:15–17

This gospel of the kingdom of God; this gospel concerning God's King; this gospel concerning the abounding grace of God by which He gives us the possibility of coming to the throne of God ... this gospel has been entrusted to those who are followers of the Lord Jesus to be preached in the whole world. This is our great call, our great commission: "Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations ..." (Matthew 28:19). We just can't go out of duty. It is the love of God that has to be shed abroad in our hearts that will bring us to a place where, perhaps, we shall come into this preaching of the gospel of the kingdom in the whole world for a testimony. From every tribe, from every tongue, from every kindred, from every nation treasure for the city of God. May the Lord use the words enclosed to stir hearts in this way.

We have a tremendous heritage of movements of God. While the movements have died, crystalized and become institutionalized, the actual recovery is still with us. Thank God it is the Lord Jesus who said "I will build My church," and what He is recovering, He is recovering. It is never lost again. In What is God Doing? Lance covers many different movements of God. What happened in these moves? What is God doing now? May His Church be encouraged by what He has done, is doing, and will do in the time to come.

What is the way the Holy Spirit will touch the Lord's people? How will we see the house of God built up and completed? How will we see the bride making herself ready for the Bridegroom?How will we come to the throne of God? By the grace of God we should overcome and it will be by the love of God!Lance searches out the divine love of our Lord within these pages in a rich and refreshing word straight from our Beloved.

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:1-2 Although it is true that the Lord is ours, it is vital that we know in our hearts that we are the Lord's-to know that He says, "THOU ART MINE." Our security is in the Lord Jesus.

The Lord does not always do everything we want, but He actually can do anything. It is so wonderful just to contemplate for a few moments on His infinite power. Who else is infinite in power? Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Is there anything the Lord cannot do? Is there any problem the Lord cannot solve? Is there any knot he cannot untie? Is there any obstacle he cannot overcome? Is there any contradiction he cannot remove? His power is infinite.For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Matthew 6:13b
