“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
–Luke 21:36
The “preppers” among us seem to be getting a bit nervous about the future.
What I saw at the Doomsday Prepper Convention – When the Corporate Media helps along a meme,–as they have done with prepping, aka survivalism— there’s something that doesn’t smell right.
What’s their game?
It for certain that they aren’t trying to be helpful.
Are they trying to get Americans to focus their eyes on their own efforts in uncertain times instead of Jesus?
Have they been building a database of survivalists?
The answer to that last question is almost certainly “Yes!”
Some prepper “advice” is clearly not truthful.
But who will be held accountable when some poor guy finds out too late there’s no fuel to operate his electric power generator.
Another thing to consider: much survival “advice” and culture is extremely self-centered, advising not to help others outside of one’s own little group.
In fact, treating all outsiders as “the enemy.”
“And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
—Luke 12:19-21
This egocentric “me vs them” mantra is worldly wisdom and is directly contrary to the teachings of Jesus–but it’s okay because it’s our survival after all. Right?
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
—Mark 8:36

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
