Congressional Task Force on Terrorism Chair Robert Pittenger Warns Americans to Prepare
3 Things You’ll Learn: Why prudent preparation is biblical wisdom, not panic. Scripture teaches that the prudent recognize danger and take appropriate action rather than ignoring what is in front of them. What Congressman Robert Pittenger urged American families to do to prepare. Pittenger discusses practical preparations including water, food, medicines, first-aid supplies, emergency communications, and having a safe place for your family. Why spiritual preparation matters even more than physical preparation. Greg Lancaster calls believers to turn to God, abide in Him, understand the times, care for their families, and remain focused on Jesus Christ and eternity. Episode Description What does biblical wisdom look like when the world around you becomes increasingly uncertain? In this episode, Greg Lancaster examines the importance of spiritual and practical preparedness, reminding believers that preparation does not have to come from panic. It can come from prudence, wisdom, and a desire to care responsibly for those God has entrusted to us. The episode features an interview with then-Congressman Robert Pittenger, who discusses concerns about terrorism and encourages American families and small businesses to make practical emergency preparations. Pittenger talks about keeping water, canned food, prescriptions, first-aid supplies, emergency radio equipment, and other necessities accessible. Greg connects this practical advice with the biblical principle expressed in Proverbs 22:3: “A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.” He also draws from his own experiences with hurricanes and emergencies to explain how quickly electricity, water, transportation, food supplies, and other things we routinely depend upon can be disrupted. Yet the central message reaches beyond storing supplies. Greg urges listeners to prepare spiritually, turn wholeheartedly to God, remain close to Jesus, care for their families, and recognize that earthly security can never replace dependence upon the Lord. As Jesus taught concerning troubling events, believers are ultimately called to lift their eyes toward Him because their redemption is drawing near. The message closes in prayer for protection, peace, preparedness, America, its leaders, and Israel. Quotes: “It’s not enough to know the news.
