Prepper Recon

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Proverbs 31:8-9

You’ve gotta love the King James Version sometimes. I mean, “Open thy mouth for the dumb.” In today’s moronic political climate, mass church apostasy, general apathetic, and pathetic condition of conservative Christianity, that phrase hits the nail on the head.

Save the comments and emails. I know that’s not what it’s talking about. This verse is instructing us to stand up and speak out for those who cannot speak. And when I imagine a class of people who are unable to speak for themselves and “are appointed to destruction,” my mind goes straight to the 3,288 children who will be slaughtered in abortion mills all around the country today.

Speaking to some other Christians we met recently, I overheard a woman who had left a church because the pulpit was being politicized. I wasn’t directly in the conversation, and didn’t have all the details, but I thought to myself, given the mass murder of the unborn, Christians being incarcerated, court-martialed, fired, and sued of business for their beliefs, sermons being subpoenaed, and school children having the police called on them for sharing a Bible verse at lunch time, isn’t it about time we politicized the pulpit? If we don’t politicize the pulpit, there will soon be no pulpit to politicize.

As I considered the conundrum, I remembered the cool little signs that grace the exits of so many church parking lots. They read, “You are now entering the mission field.” I wondered why they were only printed on one side. After all, in this age of apostasy and apathy, your church is every bit as much of a mission field as the world. Yes, the unsaved need to hear about the atoning blood of Jesus, but the congregants inside the church need to hear about their responsibility to their country, to their fellow Christians and to the unborn. They need to hear about their fading liberty to worship freely, and their duty to get in the fight.

If you’re having trouble finding the perfect church, it may be time to realize that you’re looking for a five-star restaurant in the food court of the mall. Does that mean you give up? No. Not at all. You still have a duty to your family and your own spiritual well-being to find the highest-quality, fast-food stand in the entire mall. But once you’ve found that place, make it your mission field and open thy mouth for the dumb.

Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war, or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
