They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. Titus 1:16

The man who Andy Stanley called “our pastor in chief” sang Amazing Grace at the memorial service of the victims who were slain last week in a gun-free zone. He offered stern remarks on gun control to help ensure future drugged-out psychopaths can walk into churches across our country and open fire with no threat of opposition. The salivating pastors who applauded the president’s rendition of the classic hymn were overcome with emotion, as if the shekinah glory of God was emanating from our country’s spiritual leader. Never before have we seen such a large portion of the American church fallen into apostasy and embracing the ungodliness of our culture.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the chosen one’s residence celebrated SCOTUS’s decision to “raise themselves above the stars of God” and “make themselves like the Most High” by redefining God’s definition of marriage. The colors of the rainbow were projected onto the whitehouse. The rainbow was given to Noah as a covenant that God would never destroy the earth by water. Those colors have been hijacked by the gay mafia and  now symbolize the pride they have for their sin and their contempt for God’s holy Way and his holy Word. As we look at the colors of the covenant displayed on our nations capitol, we recall that, indeed, the next time God destroys the earth, it will not be by water, but rather by fire. 2 Peter 3:10 says, “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.”

We’ve been talking a lot about the coming Shemitah over the past few months. Sometimes, it’s even with a bit of a light heart as in the Shemitah ticker on the top left-hand side of the page. But, in all seriousness, you need to make sure you have your basic levels of preparedness covered by September. Even if September comes and goes, our nation continues to poke her finger in the eye of God and God will not be mocked. Don’t confuse his patience and mercy for weakness and disinterest.  Our day of judgement is coming.

Pray for your country. Pray that what ever comes will turn us back to our God. And pray that God will give you the wisdom to navigate the coming dark days and the strength to endure it.

We’ll get back to our study of Hebrews 11 next week.

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!

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.

Hebrews 11:7

Two weeks ago, we talked about faith in action. There is no better picture of putting feet to your faith than the story of Noah. A man who lives in a depraved generation sees the coming calamity and does what God leads him to do and shields his family from the wrath that is about to overtake all of humanity.

Sounds pretty applicable to me. What you’ll have trouble finding in the Bible is examples of people that said “I’m just going to trust that Jesus will work it all out for me.” Not that he can’t. We see plenty of examples of people doing their best even though it isn’t enough. Then, God miraculously steps in and takes care of the rest. Noah is the perfect example of that. He was obedient to build the ark and prepare as best he could. Despite his best efforts, without God, it all would have been in vain. After the ark was complete, there was no time to round up all those critters. But God provided.

Faith isn’t sitting on our laurels nor is it trying to do everything ourselves. God wants to work with us to create a fantastic journey that we can share with him. That’s how relationships happen, through the journey together. And that is God’s heart and desire. I pray that it will be our desire as well.
