Do You Just Survive....i Got News For Ya It

A young man, who had worked for years on the railroad, wanted a job as a signalman for the railroad.

For his interview, he was told to meet the inspector at the signal box.

The inspector asked him, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading toward each other on the same track?"

The young man said, "That's easy. I would switch the points for one of the trains."

"The inspector then asked, "What if the lever broke?" The young man said, "Then I'd jump down out of the signal box and I'd use the manual lever over there."

Next, the inspector said, "What if the lever had been struck by lightning?"

The young man said, "Then, I would run to the signal box and phone the next signal box to let them know what was happening."

The inspector continued on, "What if the phone was busy?"

The young man said, "Well, in that case, I would rush down out of the signal box and use the public emergency phone at the crossing up there."

Then, the inspector said, "What would you do if the public emergency phone had been vandalized?"

The young man said, "Oh, well, then I would run into town and get my uncle." That answer puzzled the inspector.

So, he asked, "Why would you go get your uncle?" The young man answered, "That's simple. Because he's never seen a train crash before."

Mark 10:46-52

46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you."

50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

51 So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni (Master), that I may receive my sight."

52 Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

Too many people today feel that their life is headed toward a crash.

Their life feels like two trains headed directly toward each other and there is really nothing they can do to stop it from happening. For them, a crash seems inevitable.

The crash may be a personality crash in a marriage or at work. The crash may be a financial crash or an employment crash. Whatever it is, for them, life seems to have come unglued and untracked.

They feel as if they are "partly on track" and "partly off track."

The final decision of where they will end up is yet to be decided.

Could that be how you feel today?

 Maybe you feel as if you have gotten off track.

Maybe you feel that something is missing in your life and you just don't know what it is.

Maybe you feel like you are about to crash.

Let me ask you, is there a way out?

Is there any hope?

Are there any answers?

Is there any way to stop the crash before it happens?

I want you to listen to me very carefully at this point. If you don't hear anything else that I say today, please hear this.

By all means, there is hope!

Let me say that again. There is hope. There is an answer.

There is a way out

A crash in your life does not have to happen.

Where do we find that answer?

Where do we turn?

How do we stop the crash?

Now, while there is an answer, you will not discover the hope or answer by reading our horoscope.

You will not find the answer by calling a psychic hotline.

 You know one thing has always puzzled me, I always thought that if those people were really psychics, wouldn't they know that I needed help and wouldn't they call me instead of me having to call them?

We will not find our hope by consulting a fortune cookie or by picking up a self-help book at the bookstore.

So, if the answers are not found in those places, where are the answers to be found?

Simple.

The answers to life's questions are found in Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us that Jesus came to earth, sent by God our Heavenly Father, so that we might experience true life.
