Heart to Heart
Train Wreck
There was a terrible train wreck on a recent Tuesday night, in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The train derailed as it was traveling from Washington D.C. to New York
City. Seven people died and over 200 were seriously injured, out of the 243 people involved. The scene was described as horrific with badly injured commuters and twisted
metal.
As bad as this train wreck was with a simple derailment, the early years of the
railroad industry were known for horrific train wrecks. Without a dependable communication system for coordination of schedules and tracks, there were often head-on collisions.
In those early years before airplanes many of these trains carried thousands of people
around the U.SS. And a train wreck equaled numerous fatalities. Because of tremendous
amount of destruction in these situations, the phrase “train wreck” began to describe
other situations where there was death, devastation, and wreckage.
It reminds me of what Jesus said in Luke 13:1-5 where he receives two terrible
reports. First, several Jews had been killed by Pilate and their blood mixed with his idolatrous sacrifices. Then there was the accident involving a tower falling and killing eighteen
innocent people. With these two “train wreck” situations it seems Jesus would have offered condolences. Instead, he points to the horrors that will occur to people who do not
repent of their sins. Jesus’ words were fulfilled in the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD when the
Roman army destroyed the city and killed multitudes of people.
My hope is all mankind will repent of their sins and commit to Christ before Judgment Day. Jesus is the only hope for us to avoid the great “train wreck” at the end of
time.
Think about it!

Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort
The elders would like to make the congregation aware of a churches of Christ operated disaster relief operation
based in Nashville, TN that is providing a lot of help to the flooded areas in Texas like Seagraves, Wimberley, and
Houston as well as other disaster areas in other states. Because of the many areas needing assistance, they are
asking for donations. If you would like help this effort, please give your donations to one of the elders or Scott Mims
and the collected funds will be sent to the organization from Fairmont Park. If you prefer to donate directly to them,
you can go to their website to do that. To learn more about this church ministry, look at their website via link

nation.
