Prepper Recon

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 

Romans 12:1

Weren’t you under the impression that salvation was by grace through faith? Well relax, it still is. But don’t relax too much. Romans 12 says that although our ticket into heaven has been paid in full, there is still a reasonable service that is expected of us. And what is that reasonable service? It boils down to self discipline, presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God.

The biggest problem you’ll have with a living sacrifice is that it is continually crawling off of the altar. That’s why Paul said “I die daily.” We have to commit to dying to ourselves, everyday. Living a life that is holy, acceptable unto God is never easy, but in this world, it is next to impossible. But remember, with God all things are possible.

This week, ask God to show you the areas of your life that need changing so you can be a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Then, take up an attitude of self-discipline through daily prayer and Bible reading and give God your reasonable service.

Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! 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 day and happy prepping!

Mark

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

I Corinthians 2:16

Sometimes it’s obvious that a political figure or church leader is headed in the wrong direction. But at other times, we can be hypnotized by their crafty words. In many instances, they can be right on point with a large portion of their message. It’s very difficult to not get caught in the trap of routing for them when they support a personal favorite cause. Yet, we have to look at the whole picture. Over and over, the Bible tells us that we can tell a tree by its fruit. If that apple tree in your front yard is covered in oranges, I’ve got news for you. It ain’t an apple tree.

This week, pray that God will grant you the mind of Christ that you might more closely follow his will. Also ask for discernment in recognizing the mind of Christ in others. And remember, if the wolf didn’t wear sheep’s clothing, he’d be an awful skinny wolf.
