Has anyone reading this noticed that
civilization in general seems to be
headed toward political totalitarianism, economic depression, and social injustice
for all?
Third
– The ‘get the job done’ mentality is necessary.
No matter where you work or what you
do, there is absolutely no question that you will come across many who are so
afraid of doing more than someone else that they don’t actually do
anything. Forget them. They are chaff to the wheat. Take precautions not to be snared by their
lazy good for nothing attitudes. They
are the millstones that drag people, families, and nations down. Your job is to get the job God places in
front of you done! It isn’t to pay
attention to others. This doesn’t mean
to set aside the Bible instructions to be kind to others and treat others the
way you want to be treated. It simply
means stay focused on getting the job done.
Remember that working with lazy people
doesn’t give a Christian an excuse to join the ranks of the lazy. Dealing with an adult who has the mindset of
a kindergarten student is definitely not easy.
Just do the best you can do every day considering the
circumstances.
To all this add ‘Enjoy life’. There is joy in
a life lived to please God.
Isaiah 65:14 says, ‘Behold, my
servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and
shall howl for vexation of spirit.’
Matthew 25:23 says, ‘His lord said
unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a
few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.’

My book 'Everyday Prepping for Beginners' has received 3 negative reviews because it was written from a Christian World View. I would appreciate good reviews from my Christian readers.
There isn’t a way that this trend can
be reversed by any collective means. It
is up to the individual. I don’t know
what the earthly results will be, but the eternal results will be good. There will probably be many earthly benefits
as well.
First
- Psalm 33:12 tells
us, ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath
chosen for his own inheritance.’
Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Except the LORD
build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the
city, the watchman waketh but in vain.’
So obviously the way to blessed as a
nation is to have a nation made up of people that chose to worship the God of
the Bible in their hearts. This will
show up in their actions. It has to
begin in the hearts of individuals.
To bring this about Christian
Evangelism is the highest calling and of the utmost importance. Do you want a life that counts for
eternity? Evangelize! Tell the world that Jesus saves. Jesus Christ alone can be the mediator
between God and man.
Second
– It is the individuals who make the difference.
Become an individualist. That
means you think for yourself. Right
thinking begins with a Biblical World View.
Everything should be considered within the framework of what the Bible
has to say about it. There is no other
way that leads to any successful outcome in any direction.
America’s beginning was definitely
with people who were individualist Christians.
These Pilgrim Christians viewed the world through the Bible. They crossed an ocean in a tiny ship,
suffered 50% casualties in their first year, and still kept their mind on
building a place where they could worship God according to the instructions in
the Bible.
Today society places a lot of pressure
on people to do certain things in a certain way and to accept what is not
acceptable to God. As a Christian do not
let burdens be placed on your back that God Himself has not put there. Your boundaries are set by God. The Bible allows and dis-allows certain
things. It is your Christian duty to
live within the boundaries set by God alone.
You are also to obey the laws of the land that do not conflict with the
laws of God. Other than these
boundaries, you are free to make choices based on personal preference and
circumstances. Let me repeat this – you
are free to make choices based on personal preferences and circumstances that
do not conflict with how your Christian faith requires you to behave. Don’t surrender your true freedom of choice
regarding how you live and spend your life to the temporary goodwill of current
social and political whims. The
boundaries set by God for proper behavior are enough. Speaking in Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus says, ‘
‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of
me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.’
Ecclesiastes 9:10a tells us, ‘Whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;’
Fourth
– Be prepared. You don’t know what the future holds, so it
is your duty to be as prepared as possible in every situation. This means that you do not want to be
ignorant of everything outside your chosen profession. Take the time to learn. Learn everything. When an uncommon situation arises consider
how to best handle it, and then let your ‘get the job done’ mentality take
over. Honestly, in many instances you
will need help. However there will
always be a lot you can get done on your own.
How do you think the pioneers crossed the American planes and the
mountain ranges in a wagon or on horseback?
Every single day something unexpected arose. They did not let these events distract them
from reaching their destination or achieving their goals. Their goal was always to get the job
done. That should be our goal as well.
Recap:
Evangelize – Tell the world that Jesus
saves. God is a loving Father. He will provide for His own.
Individualize – Be the person God made you to be –
not a copy/clone of what the world wants you to be.
Get
the job done mentality
– Whatever the task in front of you may be – do it with all your might.
Be
prepared – learn to
do everything! Be aware of what is going
on around you. Prepare for any and all
possibilities.

A manuscript dating from the time of Christ is found on at an archeological site in Iraq by Elizabeth Newton. Elizabeth translates the manuscript which was written by four people who lived at the time of Christ and saw Him living and preaching, crucified, buried, and risen again.
