Prepper Recon

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Titus 1:16

I was so close to using another picture representing Hillsong NYC’s apostasy. I found myself torn between an image of their pastor dressed as Austin Powers, a movie that should embarrass any saved person much less a pastor, or using a picture of the two openly-gay sodomites on Hillsong NYC’s worship team. After becoming overly perplexed about the problem, I fell back on the old faithful image of their Youth Pastor performing his impersonation of the famous Naked Cowboy at a Hillsong Women’s conference. So please excuse me for using the same picture again.

Today’s verse is a warning that you have to be in your Bible. You have to be studying God’s Word for yourself. Knowing God and drawing near to Him is your responsibility and yours alone.

Every person at Hillsong NYC is being led astray by false teachers. Unfortunately, those who have followed blindly will still be held accountable because they placed their faith in man rather than the Holy Scriptures. Had they dusted off the Bible and learned what it said for themselves, they would have know what a horrific crime was being committed against God, by the heretical teachings of this apostate church.

For most, you’ll look on at Hillsong NYC and shake your head as these practices are so obvious. But what about the place where you worship? Would you recognize apostasy in your own church? Are you more in tune with God’s Word, from daily personal Bible study, than you are with Pastor So-And-So’s doctrine? If you can’t answer this question with certainty, you need to get in the Word and start learning to feed yourself. “But Pastor So-And-So said,” is not going to be a legitimate defense for your bad doctrine on judgement day.

Don’t get me wrong, bad doctrine will not necessarily keep you out of the kingdom, but it can greatly affect your eternal rewards. And, if it teaches you a message of salvation that comes without repentance, it is nothing more than a false sense of security, on par with a skydiver who believes his backpack to be a parachute.

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!
