SURVIVAL GUIDE (2 of 5)
Series: PREPPERS
Steve Jones
Scripture: Matthew 7
MESSAGE SUMMARY: Preppers secure good intelligence/information. We use the Bible as our "Survival Guidebook" because of 1) Authority, 2) Numinous, 3) Resonance.
INTRODUCTION: On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 hit World Trade Center NORTH Tower at 8:46 am. In the World Trade Center SOUTH tower, many people who were used to following the rules died because they did what they were told by authority figures.

Rick Rescorla IGNORED building officials' advice to stay put and began the orderly evacuation of Morgan Stanley's 2,800 employees on 20 floors of World Trade Center SOUTH Tower. Rescorla reminded everyone to "be proud to be an American", and sang God Bless America and other songs over his b ...
