The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling!

Tracking~

"Riding the rails" is now pretty much a thing of the past. I am not talking about commuter trains that carry harried passengers to their places of work and back again. I speaking of (say) needing to go to New York or Chicago from Los Angeles, and going to Grand Central Station in LA, climbing aboard the Skylark to Chicago, and spending 4 -5 days sleeping in a 'sleeper' compartment, eating in the Dining Car, and watching the country go by from the glass encased Observation car. This is an experience of which few people today have any knowledge. But in the 'age of the train' prior to mass air travel this was the way you would have traveled long distances. It took time to get there, wherever 'there' was. There was no hurrying it up, no trying to push the envelope to add speed to the situation. You simply got on board and got there when you got there. The tracks, switches, bridges, tunnels, engineers, porters, and ticket agents (and a lot more) got you from point A to B, and if you changed your mind in the middle of the trip you had to wait until the train made a scheduled stop along the way, and got off the train. If you were on the train you when where the train took you, whatever the destination.

Many people live their spiritual lives as if they are on a train going down the tracks. (In fact, there is a gospel song about this very thing.) The passengers don't really know where they are going, they just know that their family and friends, and other Christians are on the train, so it must be going where they want to go, to the Kingdom of God, and heaven.

But what if that train is not going where they think it is going? What if the tracks end taking the train into a chasm that leads to destruction? What if you were told this would happen? Would you get off the train, or would you stay to the bitter end?

This is a real choice in the spiritual world of today.
