The purpose of ProvidentSaint.com is to provide a forum for learning and educating on the various preparedness topics.
If you have questions about preparedness, this is the place! ProvidentSaint.com is the brainchild of a group of Latter-day Saint experts on all aspects of preparedness that recognize the need for such a forum dedicated to preparedness and have taken action to make this available to all. We welcome all who wish to join with us.
Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing... [D&C 88:119]
Prepare ye, prepare ye for that which is to come, for the Lord is nigh... [D&C 1:12]
President J. Reuben Clark counseled:
“Let every head of every household see to it that he has on hand enough food and clothing, and, where possible, fuel also, for at least a year ahead. … Let every man who has a garden spot, garden it; every man who owns a farm, farm it."
“Cash is not food, it is not clothing, it is not coal, it is not shelter; and we have got to the place where no matter how much cash we have, we cannot secure those things in the quantities which we may need. … All that you can be certain you will have is that which you produce."
“Live within your means. Get out of debt. Keep out of debt. Lay by for a rainy day which has always come and will come again. Practice and increase your habits of thrift, industry, economy, frugality."
(In Conference Report, Apr. 1937)

"The scriptures are rich in references to the Second Coming, an event eagerly awaited by the righteous and dreaded or denied by the wicked. The faithful of all ages have pondered the sequence and meaning of the many events prophesied to precede and follow this hinge point of history.
"Four matters are indisputable to Latter-day Saints: (1) The Savior will return to the earth in power and great glory to reign personally during a millennium of righteousness and peace. (2) At the time of His coming there will be a destruction of the wicked and a resurrection of the righteous. (3) No one knows the time of His coming, but (4) the faithful are taught to study the signs of it and to be prepared for it." [Dallin H. Oaks, “Preparation for the Second Coming,” Liahona, May 2004, 7–10]
It is our hope that as an online community we can help each other in our preparedness for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Paramount is the responsibility to coordinate personal and family preparedness efforts, including food storage." [Thomas S. Monson, “The Bishop—Center Stage in Welfare,” Ensign, Nov 1980, 89]
