“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high …

“[[To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.]] In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?

The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his …

“Most preppers have seen the British TV series called Survivors. It is a good show, all-in-all. But it’s absolutely preposterous, how they show so many people wandering around unarmed. (Without so much as a sharp stick.) Come on! Here they were supposed to have gone through something like a 98% die-off. Why wouldn’t they at least have the brains to take a crow-bar to the trunks of some police cars, to get hold of some guns? You don’t have to be a genius to figure out which cars are the ones they call ‘Armed Response Vehicles‘.” – SurvivalBlog reader F.C.L.
