  • Truth from Israel

    Will the time come again that truth will reminder from the children of Israel moreso than from Christianity among the gentiles? I certainly don’t know that but it could very well happen.

  • Different plans

    The Lord did not have the same plan for all people. Some heard Him during His mortal life. Others heard Him after His resurrection. Others would not hear Him directly but only through the Holy Ghost. While the paths were not uniform they were all fully capable of bringing people to exaltation.

  • The beam in thine own eye

    Reading that this time made me think of the Love Dare and how going through that refocused me not on what Laura could do better or how to love her despite her faults—I discovered that loving someone is based on drawing ourselves closer to Christ so that we see as He sees and have more…

  • Notice the focal point

  • Will we have a public explanation?

    After the destruction the voice of Jesus explained to all the people what has happened and why. I wonder of any of the events preceding the Second Coming will receive a public explanation similar to this.

  • What a modern paralel could look like

    Of the Second Coming of Christ were to mirror the end of His mortal ministry i would imagine it would look like society splintering because if wickedness and people having to seek for strength one protection in whatever ways they could and then to have that splintering followed up with Christ appearing to the world…

  • Not united except…

    I can totally see our nation falling apart like this. The secret combinations destroyed the regulations of the government (which could yet happen to us) and the society devolved into tribes of like-minded individuals. They were not united in their laws but they were united in their hatred of that group and their desire to…
