Gov. Spencer Cox declared June "Fidelity Month in Utah."
In his declaration, Cox said that American support for traditional values has "significantly declined."
"A majority of Americans no longer esteem values like faith, family, patriotism or community involvement," he continued.
He said it is "imperitive" that Utah's "recommit" themselves to the pursuit of fidelity, defined as "dedication to faith, family and country." https://t.co/PBXWas9WHs
"Why do you Mormons care that we say you aren't Christian anyway? You don't believe the things we believe, so why do you want to be one of us?"
Because when we are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, we covenant with God that we take upon us the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember Him, to keep His commandments, to have His spirit always be with us. That is what we mean when we say we are Christian, that we promise to represent Him, every member, every man, woman, and child, in all times and in all places. That we are His, that we devote ourselves to His work, His glory and His kingdom.
So when you say we aren't Christians because we don't profess your man made definitions and philosophies, we take that personally, because He takes that personally.
This isn't a club you can join by reciting the pledge of allegiance and carrying a membership card and a secret decoder ring.
This is a deep, abiding, personal covenant with the God of Heaven and Earth, the Creator of all things, made, not with the deaf ideas of dead men mouldering in their crypts, but with a willing heart and a contrite spirit to a Living God that loves and speaks and guides us daily.
We don't claim to be Christian because we want to be one of you.
We claim to be Christian because we are His.
@walterwhitepill Yeah - I assure you that the park workers are only charging them the citizen rate or even nothing at all - park workers are some of the most insanely liberal environmentalists there are
@TheGermanicist@FFANTASYacc Though I haven’t played them, it seems that maybe Square has decided to reserve turn-based combat for their other series like DQ, Bravely Default, and Octopath Traveler. While FF can carry its name recognition to the mainstream with mainstream gameplay
“Property values are tanking!”
“Sorry, gramps. I don’t have a ‘dog’ in this fight”
“You don’t own a home?!”
“Let me be ‘frank’ with you. I can’t afford one.”
“You must not work as hard as I did!”
“Kiss my buns.”
