What Many Preppers and Survivalists Continue to Neglect

Being Prepared

A lot of the prepper survivalist community focuses on one-time catastrophes that have a very low percentage of ever happening, while somewhat neglecting prepping for the everyday challenges of life, and the far more likely larger disruption coming from a car engine that blows, or a similar event. After all, what will it help if we have 50 guns and enough ammo to hold off a small army if we can’t get around because of a car breaking down to the point of costing more than we […]

Prepping and the Christian Household: Proverbs 31 Husband and Wife

Being Prepared

If there is a portion of Scripture that supports prepping and survival, it’s definitely located in Proverbs 31:10-31. There is something I’ve thought about concerning it that is worthwhile discussing in regard to the Christian family prepping, and that is the Proverbs 31 husband, an almost completely ignored person in the narrative. What’s so important about the husband, most obviously, is there wasn’t a Proverbs 31 husband there wouldn’t be a Proverbs 31 wife. More important, it is his provision that allows the Proverbs 31 wife to […]

Why Moderates are a Danger to the Kingdom of God and Victory

New Civilization

Moderates go along to get along – that’s their end goal. Undermine the kingdom of God by virtue signaling to enemies. Our end should be total and complete victory and their unconditional surrender.   Revelation 3:14-16 (NKJV) The Lukewarm Church 14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. […]

Prepping and Survival for Christians

Being Prepared

There are a lot of eccentricities associated with the survivalist movement, including those that think there are aliens that will attack the earth, to those trying to prepare for one-off events like a nuclear war or EMP attack, among other things. When identifying these things as eccentricities, what I mean by that is those prepping to survive these types of events, do so in a way that neglects many of the things in life that in fact they do need to prepare, and instead focus on end-of-the-world […]

Pension Crisis at Hand: Watch out if You Live in these States

Being Prepared

I’ve been following for some time, in the state I live in, the health of its public pension system, and it’s been teetering on the brink for some time. While it’s a disaster waiting to happen, at this time it’s nothing compared to the imminent crisis faced by Illinois, which is close to becoming the first state in the U.S. to have its credit rating lowered to “junk” status. Besides Illinois, other states facing credit liabilities are Arizona, Connecticut, Kentucky, New Jersey and Nevada, among others. If […]

Beyond prepping and survival … to building

Being Prepared, New Civilization

Much of what is talked about concerning prepping and survival is in ensuring we live through a catastrophic event. While that’s important if something like that ever happens, what isn’t thought about as much is what will happen once the period of shock has worn off and people are alive, but not really living. That is the time most would start to think of building again, or rebuilding. While that would be the case with a major event, the truth is, at this time we’re in a […]

When an Emergency Strikes Disaster Survival Gear Saves Lives

Survival Skills

When it comes to emergency preparedness, it’s easy to get lulled into a sense of complacency. It’s difficult to face the reality that disaster could strike close to home, even though we’ve witnessed the devastation that comes from disasters like Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tsunami, the tornado that flattened a Kansas town, and terrorist attacks like those on 9/11. The unfortunate truth is that earthquake, fire, flood, and storms can cause injuries, death, and destruction. More importantly – and more hopefully – much of the unbearable heartache […]

Safe Drinking Water in an Emergency or Disaster

Emergency Tips

Nothing makes clearer the importance of water than a large disaster; clean, fresh water becomes more valuable than gold. It’s easy to forget that without water, we just can’t survive. 60 percent of our bodies are water, in fact for infants, water makes up about 80 percent of their body, so it is even more vital they have access to clean drinking water. Unfortunately, following large-scale disasters, it’s not unusual that water supplies may be cut off temporarily or be rendered unfit for consumption. Everyone should know […]
