Is prepping biblical?

-

 The Bible has many passages that encourage preparedness and self-reliance, particularly in the face of disaster or crisis. Here are a few examples:

  • In Proverbs 21:20, it says, "In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has." This passage emphasizes the importance of being wise and having a store of supplies in case of need.


  • In Matthew 25:1-13, Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. The wise virgins bring extra oil for their lamps, while the foolish virgins do not, and as a result, they are not prepared when the bridegroom arrives. This parable teaches the importance of being prepared and having the necessary resources when the time comes.


  • In 1 Timothy 5:8, it says, "But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." This passage emphasizes the responsibility of individuals to provide for their own needs and the needs of their families, especially in times of crisis.


  • In Luke 12:33, Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys." This passage encourages individuals to prioritize spiritual preparedness and to not be overly reliant on material possessions.

In summary, the Bible teaches that it is important to be prepared for emergencies and to have the necessary resources to weather difficult times. It also emphasizes the importance of relying on God in times of crisis and putting spiritual preparedness first.

Storing gas can be useful in a variety of situations, such as during a natural disaster, power outage, or if you live in a rural area with limited access to fuel. However, it's important to follow proper safety precautions when storing gas to prevent accidents or leaks.   The first step in storing gas is to choose an appropriate container. Gas should only be stored in approved containers, such as metal or plastic gas cans. It's important to use the right size container for the amount of gas you are storing, as overfilling can be dangerous. It's also a good idea to label the container with the contents and the date it was filled.   When storing gas, it's important to choose a location that is cool, dry, and well-ventilated. Gas should never be stored near open flames, heat sources, or electrical appliances. It's also a good idea to store gas away from the house or any other buildings, in case of a leak or spill.   It's important to check the expiration date on th...

Naigating by the Sun and Stars

  Navigating by using the sun and stars is a skill that has been used for centuries by explorers and navigators. It is a way to determine direction and location without using modern navigational tools such as a compass or GPS. With a little knowledge and practice, anyone can learn to navigate using the sun and stars. To navigate using the sun, you first need to determine the cardinal directions. The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west. To determine east and west, you can use the sun's position in the sky. In the morning, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. In the afternoon, the sun is in the south, and at night, it is in the west. By knowing the cardinal direction, you can use the sun to determine your own direction. To determine direction during the night, you can use the stars. The North Star, also known as Polaris, is located directly above the Earth's North Pole and is a useful reference point for determining direction. By locating Polaris in th...

  One way to make cold storage without a refrigeration unit is to use a natural source of cold, such as underground soil or a nearby water source. Here's one way you could do this:   1.       Choose a location for your cold storage that is near an underground soil source or a water source, such as a well or stream.   2.       Dig a pit or well in the ground that is deep enough to reach the cool soil or water. The deeper the pit, the cooler the temperature will be.   3.       Line the pit or well with insulation material to help retain the cold. You can use foam panels, fibreglass, or another type of insulation.   4.       Build a structure above the pit or well to create cold storage. This can be a simple shed or a more permanent structure, depending on your needs.   5.       Install shelving or storage racks inside the structure to o...
