If You’re Reading This, You Were Left Behind…

…Unless the Dispies Were Wrong (Again)




Left Behind: A Practical Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse


Redmond, WA — So, you've been left behind. Either the dispensationalists were wrong about the eclipse, or you were too busy binge-watching cat videos during the rapture. Fear not! As the world descends into chaos, here's your step-by-step guide to navigating the great tribulation:

1. Acceptance and Denial

First, take a deep breath. You're still here, and that's both a blessing and a curse. Denial is natural. Maybe you're just in a really long line at the celestial DMV, waiting for your turn to ascend. But let's face it: You're stuck on Earth, and the Wi-Fi is terrible.

2. Locate Your Emergency Bunker

Remember that walk-in closet you've been using as a storage dump for old shoes and broken dreams? It's now your panic room. Clear out the clutter, stock up on essentials, and make it cozy. Add some motivational posters like "Hang in There, Left-Behinder!" and "You Survived Y2K; You Can Survive This."

3. Essentials for the Apocalypse

a. Canned Goods and Apocalypse Cuisine

Your diet will consist of canned beans, Spam, and whatever expired condiments you find in the back of the fridge. Get creative! Mix ketchup with mustard and call it "End-of-Days Sauce." Remember, presentation matters even when civilization doesn't.

b. Holy Water and Demon Repellent

Demons are like mosquitoes—annoying, hard to swat, and occasionally possessive. Keep a spray bottle of holy water handy. Spritz it around your panic room to keep evil spirits at bay. If a demon shows up, negotiate. Offer it a Sudoku puzzle or a Sudoku-themed jigsaw puzzle. Demons love Sudoku.

c. Survival Fashion

Say goodbye to your business suits and hello to apocalypse chic. Leather chaps, spiky shoulder pads, and a gas mask (because who knows what's in the air these days). Remember, you're not just surviving; you're making a statement. Fashion-forward meets end-of-the-world backward.

4. Master Post-Apocalyptic Small Talk

When you encounter horsemen of the apocalypse, avoid controversial topics like climate change and whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Instead, try these conversation starters:

- War: "So, War, do you prefer broadswords or battle axes?"
- Famine: "Famine, any tips for growing kale in radioactive soil?"
- Pestilence: "Pestilence, have you tried essential oils for your horse's cough?"

5. Entertainment Options

Staying sane during the tribulation is crucial. Here are some entertainment ideas:

- Apocalypse Karaoke: Sing your heart out to "Highway to Hell" or "I Will Survive." Bonus points if you hit the high notes during seismic tremors.

- End-Times Bingo: Create bingo cards with apocalyptic events. Mark off squares when you spot locust swarms, rivers turning to blood, or reality TV stars becoming world leaders.

- DIY Prophecies: Write your own prophecies. "And lo, the Wi-Fi password shall be 'Armageddon123.'"

In Conclusion

Being left behind isn't the end of the world—well, technically, it is, but you get my point. Embrace your newfound purpose: surviving, snacking, and making awkward small talk with horsemen. And remember, if all else fails, just blame it on the abacus.

Stay tuned for our next article: "How to Turn Water Into Wine (and Other Party Tricks) During the Apocalypse." Cheers, fellow left-behinder! Unless, of course, the Dispensationalists were wrong… again.

Dave Ramsey Flags Reformation Heritage Books as “Spiritual Treasure, Budgetary Trap”

Financial guru says the Puritans are great, but maxing out your credit card for a 12‑volume set on covenant theology is not a “baby step.” NASHVILLE — Personal finance icon Dave Ramsey has reportedly issued a pointed caution to Christians everywhere: Reformation Heritage Books is a spiritual danger to your budget, and one careless click on “Complete Works of John Owen” could slide you straight back into the “debt spiral” he has spent decades trying to prevent. According to sources familiar with the matter, the warning came during a segment on “biblically responsible spending,” when a caller asked whether it was wise to purchase a multi‑volume set of Reformed classics on a credit card. “Look,” Ramsey reportedly replied, “I love the Puritans. I love deep theology. I do not love you going into debt for a book you will read six pages of before you fall asleep.” Ramsey’s team is said to have flagged Reformation Heritage Books not because the content is bad, but because the catalog is long, ...

Father Warns Children Against Skillet’s ‘Monster,’ Accidentally Explains Doctrine Of Indwelling Sin

Teenager says he understood the song better after dad’s 40-minute lecture against listening to it. OAKDALE, USA — Local Christian parents Mark and Sarah Wilkins banned Skillet’s song “Monster” from the family car this week after learning that the track’s central theme involves the believer’s struggle against sin and the old self. “I had assumed it was merely loud,” Mark Wilkins said. “But then someone told me it is about the inner battle against the sinful nature. That is far too intense for our children.” Skillet is a Christian rock band, and frontman John Cooper has recently argued that hard-rock music is not inherently demonic simply because of its genre or sound.  The Wilkinses said this was exactly the sort of distinction they preferred not to make. “Scripture may talk about putting sin to death, resisting temptation, and waging spiritual war,” Mark said. “But it does not use electric guitars, so we feel safer if those ideas are communicated only through a gentle acoustic song...

Church Sound Tech Gets Doom Running On Sanctuary Soundboard

Volunteer says the game is fully contained on the mixer’s tiny touchscreen and has not affected worship, apart from the pastor’s microphone now occasionally displaying “God Mode.” CEDAR GROVE, USA — A Reformed church’s sound technician briefly became the most popular member of the media team Sunday after successfully getting the original Doom to run on the sanctuary’s digital soundboard. The game remained entirely on the console’s maintenance screen, church leaders confirmed, and no imagery or game audio was played through the sanctuary speakers. The soundboard still delivered the sermon, psalms, Scripture reading, and announcements normally—provided nobody pressed the newly labeled button marked DO NOT ENABLE GOD MODE DURING CALL TO WORSHIP. Doom, released by id Software in 1993, became both a landmark first-person shooter and a longstanding target for technical hobbyists who enjoy making it run on improbable hardware.  Digital audio mixers are also common in worship settings, whe...
