It’s Christmas! Gifts, trees, lights, family, cartoon specials and my personal favorite, cookies!
Let’s not forget why we celebrate. Christmas is the day that we have chosen to celebrate the birth of our Lord. That is a big deal. The Creator of the universe decided to come to earth and live as a man. When he did, he did not choose to come as the great and mighty king that He is. Instead, He chose to come as a helpless child. Even then, he did not choose to be born in a comfortable place. He chose to be born in a stable where he slept in a feeding trough. This humble beginning would set the tone for the rest of his life as He would go on to be ridiculed by the religious leadership, betrayed by one of his closet friends and finally murdered by government. And He did it all for you.
Yes, I know December 25th is likely not the day Christ was born. December 25th was the last day of the Roman holiday of Saturnalia. The Romans actually made a human sacrifice on the 25th to destroy the forces of darkness. Some say it was also the birth day of the Roman god of soldiers, Sol Invictus which is translated the unconquered sun. The day was co opted in the 4th century by Rome, which was largely Christian at the time, as a Christian holiday.
Would God approve of us celebrating a pagan holiday? Paul writes in Romans 14:5-6:
“One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.”
And in 1 Corinthians 10:31 he says:
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Personally, I think it is wonderful that on December 25th we celebrate the Unconquered Son rather than the unconquered sun. It is also worth mentioning that we no longer make a human sacrifice on the day as the forces of darkness have already been defeated by the supreme sacrifice made by my King, Jesus Christ. It is one time of the year that even the pagans are listening to “Away in the manger” while they do their “holiday” shopping.
What about the tree? Isn’t that an idol worshiped by the ancient druids? My Christmas tree isn’t. It has a star on the top which reminds me of the star that led the wise men to Jesus. It also has a small manger on it to remind me of the event. My tree also has candy canes in the shape of a shepherds crook that reminds me Jesus is the good Shepherd. It isn’t the object or the origin; just like with Jesus, it is what you do with it personally.
“The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it” Psalms 24
If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. 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 week and happy prepping!

Trey Dawson talks about our country’s rich heritage of resisting tyranny and the importance of every citizen being a marksman. Trey gives a spectacular account of the events of April 19th 1775, the day the British marched on Lexington and Concord to confiscate arms and deny the colonists their God given rights to defend themselves.
Trey tells us what type of training is given in a two day Appleseed event and what you need to bring to get the most out of the class.

David Quintieri joins us today with some great advice. David tells us all the economic numbers are manipulated. Unemployment is closer to 23% than 7%. GDP and inflation are radically manipulated, so don’t pay attention to them. David tells us the gold and silver markets are also manipulated so don’t pay attention to the falling price. David says to get out of the dollar and into hard assets while you still can.
Don’t miss today’s show. This is a great episode to share with your friends and relatives to get them to wake up to the coming collapse.

Do you ever catch yourself wondering why God allows evil men to prosper in their ways? Do you ever get that feeling inside that makes you question why God doesn’t just deliver you from trials when they come? I do. Sometimes I just say Why God? I have times when it seems nothing I do prospers. It is like no matter how hard I try, things just don’t seem to get better.
When I start feeling like that, there are a couple of verses that always come to mind. I remember the moment when Jesus was on trial before Pilate. Jesus explains to Pilate that this is not his home. John 18:36 says “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
Keep that in mind when the trials come. When you look around and see nothing but injustice and it seems everything you try to do is met with resistance, remember, your kingdom is not of this world.

Pellet Guns as a Prepper Tool- You won’t shot your eye out!
Pellet Guns are something often overlooked by preppers as a useful tool. In the prepping world, there is no end to the discussions on which battle rifles, handguns, and shotguns are the best. Not only are they covered ad nauseum on prepper posts, but guns also have their own world apart from the prepper community. They have their own blogs and websites, TV shows and clubs. This is as it should be. They have been part of our country’s heritage since before the first shot fired at Lexington and Concord. The Second Amendment is what was added to our Constitution not to defend our homes from burglars, but our country from tyrants.
An often overlooked addition to the battle rifle, shotgun and handgun is the lowly pellet gun. I don’t recommend it for your go to gun if the SHTF, but your tool box contains a variety of hammers, screw drivers and saws, and so should your gun cabinet. A pellet gun has a couple of nice advantages. The universal advantage is the price of ammo. Range fees and ammunition costs can be prohibitively expensive. If you have a pellet gun, you can take it out in the yard a couple times a week. Always be sure of what is beyond your target and treat your pellet gun just as you would any other weapon. This can keep your trigger finger in shape and keep you from getting rusty. This doesn’t replace range time, but it will help your performance when you finally get to the range.
Another great advantage for us city folks is the lack of noise. This will allow us to get a little target time in the backyard when we can’t get to the range. The quietness of a pellet gun would also be a great asset in a bug in situation in the city. Most of us have some squirrels or birds in the backyard that could serve as a supplemental source of protein in a teotwawki situation. If you are stuck in such a situation, you may not want to broadcast to the world that you are taking game. You may end up with some uninvited dinner guests.
The other great aspect of a pellet gun is for young preppers. It is a great tool to teach gun safety. My first weapon was a Daisy BB gun when I was 8. My father taught me the basics of gun safety with that gun and those lessons have been with me ever since. A good pellet gun like the Gammo Hornet is available from Amazon for under $100. It fires regular or PBA ammo and will easily take small game like birds and squirrels.
Be safe and have fun. Here are some free printable targets.
Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
