Emergency Kit
October 28, 2010

For a dozen years, I took an auto emergency kit on every long driving trip but never had to use it. It became such a familiar item that on the night we really needed it, I forgot it was there. But fortunately my wife remembered.

After hitting a deer on a dark rural highway, our van was completely disabled. While I fumbled with a small flashlight to assess the damage and call a tow truck, my wife opened the emergency kit, set out a reflective warning marker, then turned on the bright flashlight, much to my surprise. Later we talked about how a crisis can cause us to forget the resources we have, just when we need them most.

Paul urged the Ephesians to “put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Eph. 6:11). This protective covering includes truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, and prayer (vv.14-18). Although these spiritual resources guard us each day, we need to remember them when disaster strikes and the enemy tries to undermine our confidence in God’s love and care.

Use the kit. “Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (v.13).

When Satan launches his attack,
We must take heart and pray;
If we submit ourselves to God,
He’ll be our strength and stay. —Sper

God provides the armor, but we must put it on.

Read: Ephesians 6:10-18

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. —Ephesians 6:13

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 15-17; 2 Timothy 2

Article from the other day...

'Tea party' hopefuls target Education Department: Candidates renew call to abolish Carter-era agency

My answer:

Most of the cabinet should be abolished. We'd all be better off. Also, "regulatory agencies" under the executive branch should be abolished since they are an unconstitutional legislature making laws under the executive branch.

Milton Friedman, on Reagan's advisory panel, argued persuasively for these things, howbeit, not persuasively enough since these hideous departments and agencies are still with us.

The rule is, it’s easy to create a governmental department or agency but next to impossible to terminate it. Governmental hypocrisy, lying, self interest, money, and power are at the heart of the self-perpetuation of these government agencies and departments. You have to blast them out with the equivalency of tons of (political) TNT.
