The American Identity Crisis By Chris Mosser Faith & Survival Who am I? What are we? Why are we all so angry? Why is no one listening? Why does it seem no one cares?

Documenting a wealthy mid size American city before the collapse
Pleasanton California August 3rd. 2011 6:00pm History thanks us for those that had the wisdom to take photos or videos of what an area, building, town, or country looked like before a major event. A picture can show you the details behind the mood of the people, what actions where taking place, what the landscape looked like. It shows what was in fashion, what flags were flying, and what foods were being served to the public. This … Read entire article »

ONE MILLION VIEWS!!
Yesterday Faith & Survival achieved a milestone with 1,000,000 page views since launching in November of 2010. Along with that 150,000 unique visitors have visited as well. As I type this I see that 10 million people have viewed Justin Bieblers last video, and 20 million people have looked at a video of Jennifer Lopez’s butt. I think this helps me gain perspective that without one dollar of advertising, without any “mutual marketing”, without any google … Read entire article »

God’s Plan…a couple days, 6000 foot elevation, a pen, and paper
Every time I come back from time in the wilderness I ask myself the same question. We advanced into the modern age because? If I ask that question of others I often get the responses of, ‘technological advances have made our lives easier and with greater meaning’. ‘Wealth has allowed us to purchase homes, cars, clothing that otherwise we would not have’. I say to all those answers…hogwash! Over the past few days I drove away … Read entire article »

The Calm before the Storm!
One of my favorite movies was the Return of the King. A scene had Gandalf standing and peering over the horizon to the east, and Pippin said “it is so calm”. Gandalf replies, “this is the calm before the storm!”. Suddenly a tremendous thunder clap was heard, and a bolt of lightening went up from a mountain into the sky, turning the sky black. The message I want to give today is eerily similar to that … Read entire article »

December —– week in review
Good news…God is on the throne and is still in charge. Bad News..The US Constitution continues to be used as kindling fuel to ignite the flames of a burning civilization. Let’s start with the good news. Every day this week I was able to focus on my relationship with Jesus. It has been set with a regular daily pattern that consists of waking up around 5:00am and entering prayer for 15 minutes. Surrendering my will and life to God, looking to do his will and not my own. I usually discuss what is on the task list for that day, and try to ensure it is what God wants me to do. Around 10am I am able to spend 30 minutes in scripture. This past week I focused on Exodus, and Ephesians. … Read entire article »
