Prepper Recon

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

James 4:17

Even though most of the cool dystopian TV shows and movies are usually too filled with vulgar language and sex for my family to enjoy, I still always notice the trailers. YouTube Red has a new dystopian series coming out called The Thinning. The premise of the show is that resources are too tight and that the world only has enough to support the best and the brightest. Of course the obvious globalist spin is apparent, the earth is over populated, we’re harming precious mother earth by breathing, yada yada yada.

But, Agenda 2030 propaganda aside, is it really a dystopian show to begin with? The children in the show have the opportunity to prove their worth in the world of tomorrow via excelling in school and through standardized testing before being thinned out, or euthanized.

Now think of that show as it contrasts to our present reality. Imagine if the 3,288 children murdered in abortion mills today had the opportunity to go to school, score high on a test and win the opportunity to live! Heck, even for the children that get thinned out in YouTube’s series, they get to experience 17 glorious years of life before they’re effectively aborted. They get to have friends, eat ice cream, be loved by their parents, and watch dystopian classics like The Hunger Games. Compared to present-day America, The Thinning is a utopic dreamland. We’re the ones living in a dystopian nightmare!

So how did we get to a place where our reality is much worse than what’s portrayed as dystopic on television?

To borrow a quote from Edmond Burke, the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. We’ve had a lot of that over the past 4 decades, and brother, evil is running the show.

I understand that people are busy, but if you can’t find time to write an email to your congressman, to support or bring to the floor HR 586, aka the Sanctity of Life bill, then stay home from church one Sunday a month and do it. Write your Senator, and President Trump asking them to sponsor similar bills.

When God is pouring out his list of complaints against Israel in Isaiah 1, he tells them that he takes no pleasure in their meaningless worship.

He says: Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. Your New Moons and your appointed feasts, My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

Our hands are filled; the Church in America’s hands are filled with blood.

Sitting and listening to some guy drone on for an hour, even singing at the top of your lungs, all of that stuff doesn’t matter if your heart doesn’t break for the things that break the heart of God.

Make a point of worshiping God this week by standing up for what is right. Send an email to President Trump, your Senators and your Representatives and let them know abortion has got to stop.

Because,  to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

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!

Mark

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:  looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;  lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.  For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

Hebrew 12:14-17

Today’s section of scripture is heavy! There’s probably a hundred good Bible studies on these few verses, but the most obvious one is the lesson of Esau. If you remember, Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a measly bowl of soup. “How stupid,” you might say. Yet we do the same thing everyday. Just like Esau, we put the immediate wants and needs of our flesh ahead of our heavenly birthright.

Paul* compares Esau’s lack of respect for his birthright to profaneness and fornication and points out that Esau stepped over the line. He somehow crossed a point of no coming back. That’s scary, especially in the context of the other verses. It certainly makes me think twice before giving into the flesh and selling my eternal birthright for a momentary pleasure that is more fleeting than this world. I suspect many people who thought they had a ticket to the resurrection will be seeking one diligently with tears, but it will be too late.

So, let’s take Paul’s advice and pursue peace and holiness while we still have the breath God gave us.

*I know some people don’t think Paul wrote Hebrews, and if that’s you, that’s fine.

Mark

But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?

Luke 6:46

Jesus sounds a little confused in today’s verse. I totally get it. I find it confusing also. Why would someone call him Lord and then not do what He says?

When I look at the chaos going on in America, the 3,288 babies murdered in abortion mills every day, and the public schools filled with the children of Christians being taught that there is no God through evolution, I have to scratch my head. It’s obvious that the majority of people calling Jesus Lord, Lord on Sunday are completely disengaged from acting on his behalf Monday through Saturday. After four decades of Americans who claim to be Christians, it’s only getting worse. Now the schools teach grade school children about their gender options, gay sex, and the peaceful religion of Islam.

Talk about confused, wait til these poor kids grow up to find out just how incompatible Islam is with their homosexuality and transgender lifestyles.

So here’s why I’m confused. Why do these people who tolerate this non-sense waste their time going to church? They’re either not being taught the Bible in their churches, or they let the teaching go in one ear and out the other. Either way, it seems their Sundays would be better spent at the lake or on the couch.

The bottom line is, don’t think you’ll get a free pass on Judgment Day for going to church if you aren’t doing the things he said to do.

And don’t tell me I’m teaching salvation by works. I know that’s not how we get it. Salvation is by grace through faith, but if it’s a true conversion, we should see some fruit in keeping with repentance. Unfortunately, if the American Church at large was producing fruit in keeping with repentance, abortion would not have stayed on the books for 40 years, and we would not have tolerated our children being indoctrinated by this wicked, atheistic, Babylonian education system.
