"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but even more to stand up to our friends." -Albus Dumbledore
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing,
He is despised and rejected of men — a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from him.
In Joseph Smith’s time, his approach to leading was simple: “I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves.”
Therefore, I will unfold unto them this great mystery, for behold, I will gather them as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, if they will not harden their hearts. JSH 10:18
The following is my feeble attempt to put the principles I found in some sort of order and groupings that makes sense. I am not married to any of this, so if you have a suggestion for a different category where a principle should go, add/delete, rearrange…I am open to,
Background In 2008, if you recall, there was a recession. The housing market was crashing and people were abandoning their mortgages. The financial woes extended into every sector, and my husband, who was working as a general contractor at the time, also felt the crunch as the construction work dried
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!!
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 months, Seven weeks and 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
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.
I reached out and talked to Jennifer Willis yesterday for almost 4 hours. For my part I think I had a lot of epiphanies.
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.
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.
He is not come to destroy, but to fulfill; for truly I say unto you, heaven and earth must pass away, but one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the law till all shall be fulfilled.
I heard much criticism yesterday directed toward Stephanie Snuffer; questioning her impartiality in fulfilling her duty required by the Lord. Have your wife, Stephanie Snuffer conduct the conference deliberations and let any who want to speak present their concerns. June 20th revelation Stephanie responded to an email I sent her
Look not on his countenance or on the height of his stature; for the Lord sees not as man sees. For man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
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.
Documents and supporting evidence regarding WCL1 & WLC2 leading up to the April 12th Women's Conference
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.
Recent research has led many Anthropologists and Ecologists to the conclusion that Native Americans were actually a "keystone species," in other words, they were the vital pillar that held up everything above them, but when that pillar was removed, the whole ecosystem collapsed into chaos.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
Like a forest has an intertwined network of roots, we are connected to each other. We need to rely on one another, check each other, and individually connect to God. Don't expect someone else to do that for you. And when you do, don't expect that God will direct you
The skies are thickly overcast, low, and menacingly dark. Lightning flashes above your head and there is no color, no life anywhere around you. Just a barren, gravely ground and an invitation to make this tremendous climb into a terrifying unknown
Today marks one week since Hamas invaded Israel by air, land, and sea on October 7th 2023. Terrorists trespassed into peaceful Jewish communities slaughtering men, women and children. Innocent babies have been beheaded. Women have been gang raped and taken captive into Gaza. The bodies of the dead and dying
All of the years under the reign of Josiah are known as the Deuteronomic Reform, but the actual temple reforms did not begin until they “found” that damn book ten years into it. So, let’s keep in context that all of the reforms first required 10 years of grooming a
"And when the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
This particular Passover was a Jubilee of Jubilees. It was Foreordained to the be the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Christ controlled the timing of it all, despite many previous attempts to hold him and kill him.
Very long darkroom retreats often result in intense visions, spiritual experiences, and a subsequent, significant, and positive shift in mentality, attitude, and consciousness that lasts for a long period of time after the retreat. One's life purpose may be illuminated during such an experience, leading to more fulfillment, contentment, and
The first purpose that God has for the lights in the firmament, according to His own word, is for signs. How should we understand these signs unless there is meaning inherent in each light we observe?
Oh, God. Let it be. Let your mercy pour down in genuine revival, and let these reports be true. And let it not end in Wilmore.
Breaking out of a false paradigm is not enough. You have spent decades building relationships and a life. God has led you to where you are. Honor the journey of others.
The simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand.
“And again, outward appearance is not always a criterion for us to judge our fellow man, but the lips betray the haughty and overbearing imaginations of the heart. By his words and his deeds let him be scanned.” T&C 138:17 Dress & Grooming: What is acceptable? Previous Next Culture is
An enduring exaltation, which is what God provides to those who are willing, is ascending into a higher frequency. This requires additional energy.
The secret art of inviting happiness, the miraculous medicine for all diseases: Just for today...
The grain of rice can only grow into a plant by this natural act of creation bringing the life energy Ki within it.
The problem with filters is that some things seem devoid of light and others cannot be discerned at all.
And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole body shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you, and that body which is filled with light comprehends all things.
With mounting excitement, I crossed the threshold into the lecture hall, and as I did I woke up. My anger and irritation upon awakening was bizarre considering that I consciously knew it had all been a dream.
