Prepping for the Future
What does the Bible say about prepping?
As a gardener and having been a Christian most of my life, I have found certain people unnerving. There are a couple of things that I noticed about people since I have been writing and selling my books and produce at the farmers’ market.
What Some People Say
The first thing was that there are times that people look at the fact that I am selling books and say that there is only one book that they read and that is the Bible. At first, I felt they were trying to make me feel guilty, but then I realized that their attitude has more to do with them than it does with me. I probably have read the Bible more times than they have, and perhaps the only Bible they read is what the pastor reads out in church. It could also be that they are afraid to read anything that might make them question their faith. Perhaps they just have difficulty reading and don’t want to admit it.
In addition, I am on several prepping groups on Facebook and occasionally, there is someone who presents the idea that they don’t have to prep for bad times because they “are trusting God to take care of them” or that they will be “raptured out” so why would they need to prep for the apocalypse.
