 The Titan Tragedy --- Be Sure Your Faith Is Not Misplaced 

There is no question that the people on board the Titan really had faith, even strong faith, yes, even genuine faith in the submersible. They had faith in it so much that they were willing to deposit themselves in it down into the deep, dark, and deadly ocean.

But what is strong and genuine faith if it is something that's misplaced? Our faith is only as good as the object of our faith. You can't go to Switzerland if your plane is really going to North Korea even if you have strong and genuine faith that it is.   

A lot of people have no problem with regard to the quality of their faith. Their problem, a fatal one, is in the placement of their faith. Many people believe that their good works are "Titan" enough to save them. The Bible says "Nope, it will implode. It will all end in tragedy." 

Here's someone that will never implode ---  The Lord Jesus went through all the pressure of the wrath of God at Calvary for us and came out of it alive three days later.  

If you want to be saved, you must place your faith squarely and exclusively in Him and what He did on the cross and you will be safe...forever safe as the all-powerful God could save you.
