Shabbat Night Live with Michael Rood: December 27, 2013
Not for thouse caught up in "religion":
I don’t know what put God on my case. I was such an idiosyncratic loser, as far as attitude was concerned. You could have called me Mr. Cranky, Mr. Hate.
Well, God must have seen the potential in me that nobody else could. Oh folks thought I was brilliant sometimes, and true, I was, but relationships? I was horrible. Absolutely horrible.
I was lacking the love of God. Not just big time. Huge time.
God has taken 24 of my latter years to begin correcting that and now it’s tangible.
To be fair, the bible isn’t telling anyone at ALL to stock up on worldly goods.
God has given a stark PROMISE. It’s those who have received Him (or now receive Him) as a child who will understand. I’m understanding it now. I could go broke, have zero, and I’d still be fed and clothed and sheltered satisfactorily. And I’ve SEEN that play out in my life. I had to become poor in money before I could see it.
I fear for those who think they have a prepper “religion” that will save them, because the actual God will not smile on that.
As for those of us who might HAVE food or weapons or other provisions? Let us do good with them as the Lord brings us occasions to do. Honor the Lord with every bite, with every stitch, with every shot (if shots are needed). Hunting might be a bigger thing for believers with guns, than the need for self defense.
Love me some Michael Rood...thank you!
...so when the stars fall (nuclear attack); each of us will reduced to a 3/16” pile of white ash? Dust to dust, and all that...
