We acknowledge the awful possibility of nuclear warefare, terrorism, and chaotic times. We know that natural disasters are likely to increase. The difference between Christians and survivalists should be in their reactions to these realities. Christians are to be advancing with the Gospel. Survivalists narrow their circumference of activity.
Christians are always to be enlarging their outreach.
Survivalists are building strongholds. Christians are to be attacking the strongholds of sin. Survivalists are improving their expertise with weapons that destroy, expecting to even fight off their neighbors in a coming disaster. Christians are to be constantly improving their effectiveness with the spiritual weapons of faith and prayer to overcome evil and to benefit their communities. Survivalists recognize man's violent nature.
