THE TRAIN WHISTLE

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

“The Train Whistle”

Book Reference: “How Do You Kill 11 Million People” by Andy Andrews Click here to order your copy.

In at least one German town, the railroad tracks ran behind the church. An eye witness stated: “We heard stories of what was happening to the Jews. But we tried to distance ourselves from it, because we felt what could anyone do to stop it.

Each Sunday morning, we would hear the train whistle blowing in the distance then the wheels coming over the tracks. We became disturbed when we heard cries coming from the train as it passed by. We realized that it was carrying Jews like cattle in the cars.

Week after week that whistle would blow. We dreaded to hear the sounds of those wheels, because we knew that we would hear the cries of the Jews enroute to a death camp. Their screams tormented us.

We knew the time the train was coming and when we heard the whistle blow, we began singing hymns. By the time the train came passed our church, we were singing at the top of our voices. If we heard the cries, we sang more loudly and soon we would hear them no more.

Years have passed and no one talks about it now, but I still hear that train whistle in my sleep.”

Day 5

Mark Lanier continues in the series on Romans, teaching about the metaphorical arches in Paul’s writings, specifically in Romans 9-11.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

THE WIDENESS WORDS (Romans 10:11-13)

Remember the Isthmus Games from a few weeks ago? What metaphor did Paul use in these verses using the games?

Remember the consumer test of the gods from last week? What was the cost of worshipping the gods? Can we bribe our way into heaven?

Did Paul encourage the people to make the name of God famous – not their own? Are you doing the same?

POINTS FOR HOME:

Everyone means YOU! That means everyone else, too!

Make sure the Word of God is in your mouth and your heart.

God wrote your name on the keystone.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

O Mighty God,

As we humble ourselves before you, have mercy on our land. Forgive our sins and lead us in righteousness.

Holy Spirit, come anew and afresh in the lives of the saints of Jehovah God.

We cry out for grace and mercy each day. May we be joined by others who seek your forgiveness and salvation. And then, may we be joined by more and more.

Hear our pleas to add family and friends to your Kingdom. Open our eyes to see evil, enabling us to run from wickedness.

Jesus Christ, lead your army here and now. May the end-time revival begin.

And Father, if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Boldly standing in the throne room beside Jesus Christ,

AMEN
