WHAT DOES THE BLOG NAME MEAN?


2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

We cannot avoid the affairs of life mentioned in Verse 4. But, we must be very sure that we do not become entangled in them. We must, through Christ and uncommon sense, master the affairs of life.

Hardness in Verse 3 is what we today call "hard times". So, good soldiers simply endure. Millions of saints and sinners have survived hard times before us. Have we learned from them, or will we repeat all the dumb choices? Hmmmmmmm

"We can be very thankful the nothing is taking God by surprise." Robert Aseltine

LEAD ARTICLE FIRST POSTED
Nov. 9, 2011



This blog is here to become a gathering place for survivors who use the King James Bible, common sense, wisdom from folks who have survived well in the past, and newbies to the grand age of terror now upon us.


I happen to believe that we NEED each other. Much effort seems to be made lately to make us distrust one another and accept the role of suspects. Big Nanny is nagging us around the clock. Alerts are flashing, DRUDGE dumps the dirt 24/7, and virtually every politician who has the glorious answer is a money grubber who sounds like every other politician that ever lied to us. 


Is there hope?


If you do not care for Bible based wisdom or the advice of folks who are down home experts..... If you get your rush from Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and Gush Limbaugh, then rush on after your next rush. You dare not sit still and think..... it might spoil that sweet ominous terror in your soul, right? You will not care for the good hope here.


Of course, we are in hard times, and the worst hard times may be just ahead. 


But, a good soldier endures:



2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.


If that sounds useful to you, and if you have some experience surviving, please join us, and leave your own observations in  the comment area. If you have a question, ask it, and I will try to run down an answer or alternative to the panic response now so popular.
