Is there a Christian trucking school, Anywhere USA?
 

Or a school owned by a Christian outfit? Heh, even a trucking company owned by a Christian family? After I train, I want to witness for Christ OTR.

My handle "Shebear" refers to the defender of Elisha in the Bible. In 2nd Kings 2:23-24, we learn that God has a way of dealing with those who despise His chosen servants, in this case Elisha. Elisha was the one who saw the prophet Elijah carried to heaven in chariots of fire, and he was given the prophet's mantle. Shebears mean business!

So I guess it's pretty obvious I'd like to find Christians who have a school, or would want to sponsor a lady which her heart set on truck stop evangelism.

Maybe people can pass this message along. I'd appreciate the help.

Owned by a christian family? Most of the truck driving schools that I am aware of are owned / operated by corporations eg roadmasters, sage, or communit colleges. Why is this important to you vs one that is going to teach you correctly? BTW, i'm not saying that a 'christian' owned school would not teach you correctly. One of the first rules of a business, whether owned by a christian or not, is to stay in business.

Agreed - The main thing is to get thorough training. What I was referring to was the general atmosphere. I'm sure you can tell the difference if you ever have spent any time at a truck stop run by Christians, right?

Not sure if they train... dead link from there website on the school.

Most of the truck stops that i've been into are owned by corporations TA, Pilot, Petro, Flying J, etc. The family owned shops that i've gone into are few and far between. Personally, i've seen no difference between them.

In terms of Covenenat, they contract with various schools around the country to do their training. That's the information that I got from their recruiters back in March. You might want to call and talk with one of their recruiters to get the most up to date info.

Yep, everything is more expensive.

I'm kind of curious as to what you think the difference is.

Oh'yah well my god is more powerful than your god!
 

I went to Elite Truck School in Portland, Or. and the teacher is a christian. However the atmosphere you are talking about was sometimes bad. The swearing etc. But he tried to keep that to a minimum.

Christian Truck Stop? Is this like a Jumbo Shrimp? There are a few companies that CLAIM to be Christian run... They usually have some of the worst reputations because like most CEOs who babble on about how religious they are, they actually worship the money and are out looking for some suckers to buy into their little act. :lol:

Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

OH I HEAR YOU! And how true, but sad. I think those who hide behind the "Christian" label, when their actions don't match their professions of faith, will have to answer to the Big Dispatcher in the Sky. But these people think 'once saved always saved' -- one of those fallacies of modern misinformed Christianity. Sorry I posted this stupid topic!

It's not a stupid topic. I certainly respect your desire to witness and get your training and employment through Christian outlets.

However, like any industry, probably more so, trucking has its good and bad- bad in this case is that there are very few "Christian" schools and companies.

What I would recommend, however, is Covenant Transportation - they have "It's not a choice, it's a child" on the back of every trailer. Go forth, spread the world. Unfortunately, as the big Book says, you will have to go where the sinners are. How can you witness if you are preaching to the choir? :wink:

You'll be surprised how many trucks have crosses on them or Christian decals. Once you get over the trash on the CB, you'll be pleasantly surprised how many drivers give you a "God Bless".

-p.

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

I'm not going to get into a debate on the issue as that isn't the topic of the thread. I am just going to tell you that you are mistaken. Jesus saves those who trust in Him. He never casts them away. They have eternal life. Jesus doesn't lie. Now, you're informed. God bless you.

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

Yes you are. That is why you are posting this dribble.

Yet another "expert" who doesn't understand what is written in the bible. :roll:

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

Show me where I said that. Nice out of context. Kind of like your take on the bible, I'm sure - take a bunch of words, and change them around until it suits your need. :roll:

What fact? I saw no facts. "Thus saith the lord?" Cite the passage, if "the lord saith thus". :roll:

What I am is irrelevant. And you are not my brother.

And who was that? I'd love for you to tell me. :wink:

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

I already know why you did it; because you have no justification for anything you are posting.

It's sad that your argument has come down to personal insults so quickly. That is a true sign of desperation.

So now you claim to be the lord? That is a bold statement. I did a search, and your previous post was not in the bible, so that would mean you are committing blasphemy. Or perhaps you never read Revelation 22:18. :roll:

Again, what I am is irrelevant. I'm just trying to find out what YOU are.

You first. :wink:

Again, what I am is irrelevant. You have become a one note band.

So, please explain why "The Lord" would write in this book that the sun revolves around the earth, as referenced in Joshua 10:12-13

Or that a rabbit chews its cud, like a cow, as referenced in Lev. 11:6

It certainly appears as if this "lord" you speak of skipped his science classes. :wink:

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

Now that you've been thoroughly schooled and most definitely have met your match, I suggest that you quit taking the thread off topic and attend a local Sunday school.

Either way, this discussion is over. If you just can't help yourself, start another thread and I may give you the time of day. However, work calls. Buh bye.

Is this where the "divine" start shooting people and burning things to the ground? LOL

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

Then justify why you are attributing something in your signature line to me that I did not say.

Please quote any post in which I have called you a name to insult you. Go on. Do it.

Then cite the verse. Oh wait. There isn't one.

:wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Make me.

I'll give you that one, that it could be interpreted differently. But what about the quote from Leviticus? Rabbits do not chew their cud, yet it specifically says that they do. I suppose those are "magical Jesus rabbits". :roll:

Show me where I quoted any book called "Jashar". Now you are just making it up as you go along.

Yes, I would like to see those passages, which is what I said from the beginning. Go on. I'm waiting.

There go the insults again. That is sad and pathetic.

Met my match? You haven't even made me break a sweat.

Is that a promise or a threat? :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

I think he should start with his bible. He hasn't used it for anything else, apparently. :lol:

talk about a hijacking....you guys are doing a great job.... :roll:

Just doing my part. :wink:

Heck, it was an old thread anyway. 8)

Re: Can't serve both God and Mammon
 

By the way, your signature is idiotic. If you want to think that "thus saith the Lord" means what I say myself, go right ahead. I like nothing more than to see evidence that supports my charge when I label someone an idiot. 8)

8) :lol:

What we see here is a reason that religious threads typically do not last long. There were insults in here that simply did not need to be thrown and insults are hardly a Christian way of acting. I'm not going to getting into a long discussion about it other than to say...

KNOCK IT OFF!! :x :x :x
