I don’t know about you guys, but if we still do anything formal, my prayer is going to be THANKS FOR ANSWERING OUR QUESTION!!

Instead of two options ingrained in us by millions of years of threats from the environment and other people, flight or fight, Jesus offers a third way. This new way marks a historic mutation in human development. The revolt against the principle of natural selection. With Jesus a way emerges by which evil can be opposed without being mirrored.

Opening prayer given at the November 2025 Covenant Christian Women’s Conference.

Pray together in humility and together meekly present your dispute to me, and if you are contrite before me, I will tell you my part.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen. Isaiah 1:29

The president of the church MUST be sustained by the common consent of the church in order to be recognized as valid. Regardless of what you’re told to the contrary, that’s according to D&C 107 the accepted, canonized, organizing direction for the church.

Seven years,

Seven days later…

Someone who gives you bits of truth can sell you a whole-cloth lie if they can get you to trust them. That’s why its called CON man. The “con” is short for CONFIDENCE. Therefore, any information that you weigh against the standard of the person sharing it, you are turning them into a CONMAN. Don’t do it. It’s not polite.

Atheism requires faith. It takes faith to believe in everything coming from nothing. It takes only reason to believe in everything coming from God.

If anything I am sincere. And am willing to correct myself when I discover that I have made an error in my conclusions. This original post went out and must have raised the Lord’s eyebrows because He decided to drop a living parable in my lap.

We do not read fairy tales to children so that they learn that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. We read them fairy tales so that they can learn dragons can be slain.

Fruit of repentance takes time. A season of growth takes months. For some orchards it takes years. Eve plucked fruit too soon and we have a creation that was out of alignment thousands of years later.

The wicked shall destroy the wicked, and I will hold the peacemakers in the palm of my hand and none can take them from me.

Where is Peace? Let me be very clear about this: Peace is not found in Paradise or any other location. Because if you think that

Maybe if the one-on-one combat offer had been made by a normal sized soldier it would seemed like an equitable or even winnable fight. But against the son of a giant? These sons of men were clearly no match. Goliath wasn’t just challenging Israel’s army—he was mocking their God.

Metaphors and parables are so much easier on the tender hearts of those we love. Truth is able to sneak through the stone walls erected by false beliefs and weave a safety net for a conceivable fall.

How does Zion resolve disagreements without imposing authoritarian control? Especially when we can expect that Zion’s inhabitants will come from every corner of the world, culture and religious background.

The Covenant of Christ is the most important volume of scripture for the present day. The original text from 1830 was not a commentary, not an interpretation, neither a narration nor an explanation. It presented itself as original, authentic, ancient scripture. This new edition renders the text into a modern or present-day language setting.

Every ancient alphabet, bar none, has always, from day one had a mysterious number associated with the letter. The study of that code is called

Nüwa and her brother, Fuxi, happened to escape into a boat at just the right moment (i.e. Ark, see Genesis 7:7 KJV) . After the floodwaters died down, they discovered that they were the last humans left on Earth.

Could the distance from the sun and all essential characteristics that allow life to exist be serendipitous coincidences? When considering all of the happy accidents that have to align to maintain the delicate life balance in just the design of the planet, it becomes a statistical impossibility that life exists by mere chance.

Shangdi was originally worshiped in ancient China, particularly during the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE). The term “Shangdi” means “Supreme Deity” or “Emperor on High.”

“Seven long years I served for thee; the glassy hill I climbed for thee; the bloody shirt I wrung for thee; and wilt thou not waken and turn to me?” So sings a faithful woman, whose long-suffering devotion leads her back to her first love—hoping he will awaken and recognize her before it’s too late.

Prince Darling is a richly layered fairy tale of moral transformation, temptation, and redemption. Gifted a magical ring that pricks his finger whenever he strays from the path of virtue, a young prince must choose between self-indulgence and righteousness. Misled by flatterers, he falls into cruelty and pride—only to be transformed into a monstrous beast reflecting the darkness of his soul. Cast out, humbled, and finally repentant, he learns that only through mercy, self-sacrifice, and love can he reclaim both his crown and his character. This timeless story explores conscience, power, and the enduring hope that even those who fall far can rise again through humility and truth.

Twelve royal daughters vanish each night, only to return with worn-out shoes and no explanation. Where do they go? What secret are they hiding? A humble gardener with a cloak of invisibility dares to uncover the truth. Echoing the Twelve Tribes of Israel, their journey conceals esoteric truths about love, sacrifice, conventional marriage, and redemption. Beyond the palace lies a hidden world — and the secret of how to bridge the great divide between what is seen and what is sacred.

The Old Testament: Burning Fat as a Sacred Offering Throughout the Old Testament, God gave specific instructions regarding sacrifices, particularly what was to be done

And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons for ever. And it shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you, What do you mean by this service? — that you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses.

Even today priests occupy the temple. But once upon a time, so did priestesses. The difference being, the ordinances men perform are public, the ordinances women perform are private.

The Ganesh murtis (statue) is made of clay with every intention to be temporary. On the 10th day families carry to a river, lake, or the sea. There, they gently lower the murtis (statue) into the water and let it dissolve, called Ganesh Visarjan (immersion).

Properly ordered, the temple would not just be for adults doing proxy work for the dead. It would be in active use for the living, here and now. What would be taught? Doctrines of salvation, obviously, but why not also reading, writing, math, science, and history, to name a few. Until a child has the ability to rise up and become a prophet themselves, they must be taught. What better place to receive your education than in the temple?

Consider for a moment that for every role that a man occupies, every authority with which he’s been endowed, there is an equal and complimentary role occupied by woman. She is likewise endowed with authority, not any less in efficacy nor divine in legitimacy.
