Prepper Recon

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.  Ephesians 5:3-4

Wow! Those two verses just eliminated 98% of the movies produced by Hollywood. It doesn’t leave much room for most of the programs on television either. So what is a Christian supposed to do for entertainment these days? Even prime time network shows regularly use His holy name in vain. There are a few television stations that specialize in old shows from an era when offending God was still frowned upon. Your local library has tons of DVDs available from that time period. Occasionally, there is even a new,well-produced animated family movie available to watch at the theater. Amazon has made purchasing Christian fiction books on Kindle very affordable. Not necessarily my books, but as a side note, mine are completely void of vulgar language and sex scenes. Not to brag, but they all receive very good reviews, proving you don’t have to have sex and obscenities to make a book entertaining. 

If you’re like me, there are tons of action films and police dramas that you’d like to watch. In fact, it feels like a sacrifice to not be able to watch them. I make an effort to dedicate a portion of my day to prayer and reading the Bible. Don’t I deserve to kick back at the end of the day and watch a little TV? Sure, if the the subject matter and the language isn’t offensive to the very Being that has given me life. In this day and age, keeping a moral standard in your entertainment choices is going to require a sacrifice. But when I consider the sacrifice He made for me, it seems pretty small.

A great resource for checking to see if God’s name is used in vain in movies and even to check for sexual content in a specific television show is PluggedIn.com. It’s operated by the Christian organization, Focus on the Family. It doesn’t make the call for you, it just gives you the information about the content and lets you make the call based on your convictions.

You might be wondering what today’s Bible verse has to do with prepping. Well, it draws attention to yet another area of our culture that has completely forsaken God. We know from Deuteronomy 28 that we can expect perilous times ahead because of this wholesale abandonment of God and His principle by our country.

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. 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!

If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has deniedthe faith and is worse than an unbeliever. I Timothy 5:8

Providing for our families goes far beyond food and shelter. Proper provision entails a safe environment, a good education, and preservation of our God-given rights.

What does that mean for a Christian prepper? Well, it means you have to be prepared to provide security for your family. Not only will you be responsible for protecting your family from harm after the collapse, but even now, the best the police can do is show up after the crime has been committed and hope to catch the perpetrator.

You need to be actively involved in your children’s education. If you are in the unfortunate circumstance of having to send them to a public reeducation camp, you have to counter the socialist propaganda and lies they are being told. If children are left to believe they crawled from the primordial stew and developed into the complex beings they are by chance, don’t be surprised when they grow up to become full-blown atheists.

You have to be involved politically. Men have fought and died to defend your God-given rights. We are derelict in our duties to our families and show contempt for the blood that was sacrificed by our forefathers when we fail to be knowledgeable of the politics that are so greatly eroding our liberty.
