... . According to police this young man taped a bunch of the small occy straps together, wrapped an end around one foot, anchored the other end to the trestle, jumped and hit the pavement. Why? The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground. (2) Surely, we think to ourselves, he would have figured this out before he jumped. Poor planning will do you in every time. A gang of robbers back the 1930s planned to rob a Midwestern bank. They laid out ...

... . He promised her he was off drugs and was done with licentious living. She was delighted, but he wanted her to check with his dad to make sure he'd accept him back.

... fall down between the tracks. To that the boy responds that maybe God gave him the idea to fall between the tracks.

Grandpa continues by telling the boy that God gave us each a brain and that it is God’s will for us to use it - particularly when a train is coming. The boy then asks Grandpa if God wills any of the things that happen to ...
5. Passing The Test!
Genesis 3:1-24
Sermon

... all of us can be helped if, rather than saying, “I am being tempted," we would re-frame the situation and say, “I am being tested." Being tested has benefits that being tempted does not have. As the Union Pacific Railroad was being constructed, an elaborate trestle bridge was built across a large canyon in the West. In order to test the bridge, the builder loaded a train with enough extra cars and equipment to double its normal payload. The train was then driven to the middle of the bridge, where it ...
