Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Mutual Assistance Groups

Saturday, September 19, 2015 17:20

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Two are better than one;because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall , the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth ; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together , then they have heat : but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken .

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Last Friday’s movie was about mutual assistance groups. This is a relatively new term, not becuase the wisdom has been hidden for eons, but rather because of our modern culture of alienation. We live in a society of people who are only connected through FakeBook and Twitter. Many people don’t even know the names of their next-door neighbors. The modern mega-church movement even allows us to go to church every Sunday and never see the same person twice. We return to work on Monday, sit in an isolated cubicle, and our anonymity continues.

In the years gone by, there was a natural sense of community in the neighborhood and a culture of looking after one another in the church. In our modern age, we have to make a conscious effort to fight back against the trend to isolate and survive on our own. Many larger churches have began to offer small group fellowships that mimic the experience of a little country church. Of course, there’s always the real thing if you look hard enough.

Solomon points out the wisdom of having a network of people who can help one another when times are tough in Ecclesiastes 4. He talks about the synergistic returns when a group works toward a common goal and about safety in numbers. Regardless of how well-prepared you are, you’ll never be able to stand guard 24 hours a day. The lone-wolf mentality doesn’t pan out very well even when times are good, but it definitely wont work when the stuff hits the fan.

Church is the natural and best place to try to make connections for a mutual assistance group. Of course, if the leadership frowns on preparedness and doesn’t see the threats facing our country, you’re not likely to find many healthy congregants that understand either. Find a good church with an awake pastor, and you’ll find congregants that will be a good fit for a mutual assistance group.

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!
