Sunday Prepper Bible Study-Long Suffering

on February 19, 2017 at 7:00 am
Posted In: Bible

reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering . . .

2 Timothy 4:2b

It’s rare that you’ll see me getting into the Greek or Hebrew definitions of words found in the Sunday Prepper Bible Studies, but I reserved the right to do so when I feel like it has something to add or it brings clarity and understanding to the study. We can never have too much clarity and understanding. So here’s a few of the Greek terms from today’s verse and their definitions.

Reprove- elénchō- to call to account, show one his fault, demand an explanation

Rebuke-epitimaō- to admonish or charge sharply

Long Suffering-makrothymia-patience, forbearance, longsuffering, slowness in avenging wrongs

The reason I’ve provided the definitions today is that I want you to really think about the words in this verse. Notice the contrast in the definitions.

Paul is telling Timothy to reprove and rebuke people. Those are inherently harsh actions.

But then, he tells him to use all long suffering when doing so. This idea of patience, forbearance, and slowness in avenging wrongs seems incompatible with showing someone their fault and calling them to account. But it’s not.

What many of us want to do is to hand out a scathing rebuke that really lets people know what a terrible thing they’ve done. Or, we want to just let it go and say nothing. Neither one of those line up with Paul’s instruction in this passage. We are to explain the wrong, but we are to do it with patience. We have to speak the truth in love and gentleness. Yes, sometimes that doesn’t work. Some people don’t hear gentleness and patience. But take the high road and try to reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering as you go about your business this week.

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!

Sunday Prepper Bible Study-Get Back to Work!

on February 11, 2017 at 5:00 am
Posted In: Bible

 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.  And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord‘s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

Ezekiel 8:15-16

As the last days of ancient Israel drew to a close, God granted Ezekiel a vision which revealed just how bad things had gotten in the culture. The vision begins at the outer courts of the temple where he is shown the idolatry of Israel’s leaders. Next, the vision proceeds to the gate of the temple where Ezekiel sees women worshiping Tammuz. Finally, he sees men inside the temple, between the door and the altar worshiping the sun. No one else would be inside the temple except the priests, so this must be an indictment against the spiritual leaders of Israel.

America has recently made a turn in the right direction. The prepping industry is taking a major hit because of the confidence that people are feeling since the election. I understand that. We’ve averted a major catastrophe politically.

It’s okay, take a break. Enjoy the win for a few minutes and celebrate. But, don’t let your victory lap turn into a couch of complacency. Don’t kick off your shoes and lay back with the remote for the next four years.

We’ve still got a long way to go. Abortion is still legal. We still have 20 trillion in debt. The nation is divided more now than ever before. And, like the temple in Ezekiel’s time, the American pulpit is festering with abominations. Our pastors barely know the Bible and are willing to make compromises on sin and truth to be seeker friendly.

So, finish your celebratory ice cream sundae. You deserve it. Then, clock back in and get to work. We need personhood bills in every state and at the federal level to end abortion. Start getting involved.

Make sure you are financially hedged to weather the economic storm that is coming. President Trump is limited in what he can do to dodge this financial maelstrom barreling down the tracks.

Hedge yourself for the inevitable civil unrest that is still boiling in the hearts and minds of the left. They’re doubling down.

And finally, find a ministry. Maybe it’s sharing the gospel with people at work. Perhaps God’s been urging you to teach Sunday school. For many of you, there’s a painful awareness that the church you are attending has reached the apostate tipping point. It’s time to start your own home group or find another church. You’re number one ministry is your family’s spiritual health.

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!

Sunday Prepper Bible Study-A Companion of Fools

on February 5, 2017 at 3:05 am
Posted In: Bible

A companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Proverbs 13:20b

Last week’s post could have sounded a little harsh. After all, doesn’t the Bible tell us to help those in need and not to neglect the poor? Absolutely, it does. But, it doesn’t ask us to be suicidal in fulfilling those admonitions.

Since the subject of Islamic immigrants is such a heated topic, let’s step back from the issue for a second. Instead of Muslims, let’s use me as the example.

Suppose you and I live next door to one another. And, let’s assume I have a terrible affinity for setting things on fire. Now let’s pretend that in one of my episodes of pyromania, I’ve burnt my house down and have nowhere to live. I come over to your house and explain to you, a kind Christian who wants to help, that I need a place to crash for a while.

What would you do? Let’s say that you decide to put me up on the couch for a few nights. Very kind of you, I truly appreciate it. Unfortunately, my unreformed nature gets the better of me late one evening. My imagination begins to run wild thinking about how beautiful your curtains would look engulfed in the glowing hues of red, orange, and yellow. I can’t help myself. I pull out my lighter and . . .

The next morning, thankfully, we’ve both survived. However, neither of us have a place to live. Your inability to assist me with my needs is the very least of your problems. Now, you’re a refugee!

Have you fulfilled Proverbs 28:27 “ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.” Sure, your heart was in it, but it hasn’t really done me much good. I’m still homeless. Not that I’m blaming you, I’m just pointing out that despite your sacrifice, I’m no better for it. And you, you’re in the same boat as me.

Perhaps a better response would have been to send me a box of food and a tent. Yes, in all likelihood, I’ll burn down my tent, but as long as you still have your home, you can continue to go to work and pay your bills. Being the generous soul that you are, I’m sure you’ll use what you have left over to keep on buying me more food and a new tent from time to time. Even though I may not know it, this remedy is actually better for me. And I’m sure you find this solution more agreeable as well.

Trust me when I tell you, I’m a really nice guy. But until we’ve addressed my love affair with fire and destruction, I won’t make a very good house guest. It may not even be my fault that I find a blazing flame so awe-inspiring. However, none of that will do you a bit of good when your house is reduced to an ash heap.

So, in the same way you can’t afford to have a pyromaniac for a house guest, America cannot afford to be a host to refugees who believe the radical ideas of Islam. In every country where the majority of the people are Muslim, women are oppressed, Bibles are illegal, and unbelievers are subject to rape, imprisonment, harassment, torture, and execution. In fact, the higher the overall percentage of a population professes Islam, the lower the level of freedom in that country. It is a direct and unfailing correlation. There is a reason that these people’s countries are in ruin.

If you feel led to help the refugees where they are, one of the best things you can do is donate to Voice of the Martyrs. They help to fund missionaries and pastors who covertly infiltrate Islamic nations in order to share the Gospel. It is only through the transforming blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit that this culture can learn to stop burning their own house to the ground.

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.

Sunday Prepper Bible Study-The Folly of Fools

on January 29, 2017 at 7:09 am
Posted In: Bible

Rueters

 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.  Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Proverbs 26:4-5

Aha! There’s that contradictory passage all of your atheist friends have been badgering you about for the last ten years! Or is it?

Massive demonstrations are going on at JFK and all across America over President Trump’s fulfillment of his campaign promise to close the borders to refugees and immigrants from terrorist hotbeds. The protests come on the heels of the THREE HOUR rape of a Swedish girl by Muslim immigrants which was live streamed on the social media network of self-proclaimed fake-news czar Mark Zuckerburg. The Islamic devotees, whose religion sanctions such actions against unbelievers, kept the camera feeding live to Fakebook during the young woman’s horrifying ordeal.

Swedens open-door policy to Muslims has made it the rape capital of the world where 77% of the rapes are committed by Muslim males who make up approximately 2% of the population. Rape by Muslim men is an epidemic, not only in Sweden but also in Germany and all across Europe.

Despite these sobering statistics, the crowds of protestors are filled with young attractive women, who are at risk of being the next victims humiliated on Facebook for the world to see.

So how does all of this prove that today’s Bible verse isn’t a contradiction? Try having a conversation with one of these protestors. It’s your job to enlighten them, right? Since you understand that Islamic culture isn’t compatible with Americanism, you need to explain to them how every country where Muslims are in the majority, women are oppressed, Bibles are illegal, and unbelievers are subject to rape, imprisonment, harassment, torture, and execution. And please, let me know how that conversation turns out.

The bottom line, as today’s verse suggests, you can’t win. If you try to help them understand, you’ll end up engaging in a conversation with a fool that goes nowhere. And if you say nothing, then you’re allowing them to go on thinking that they’re right. It’s the epitome of the old saying, “you’re danged if you do and danged if you don’t.” So, the verses aren’t actually the fabled contradiction that proves God’s Word can’t be true. It’s simply Solomon’s perfect example of the futility and frustration you can expect when you have to engage with fools.

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!
