‘Come, Follow Me’ for Sept. 14-20: What have Church leaders said about Isaiah 1-12?
The "Come, Follow Me" study guide for Sept. 14-20 covers Isaiah 1-12, which includes the Lord’s promise that "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18). Read what Church leaders have said about these chapters of scripture.
I don’t have a nice watch or a yacht or a super car. I fly commercial. But I come home to this. And this makes me the richest man on earth. This is wealth. Invest your life in true riches…
We serve God the best when we just live as proof to the things we believe. That's the BEST way to convert someone to your cause or faith. Live what you claim to believe and you will never have to pass out a brochure. People will see the joy in your life and want what you have.
We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.
My career woman boomer mom, who divorced my dad when I was 5 because he spent too much time golfing and softball practice with his friends (he provided us a very cushy upper middle class life), doesn’t see any of the work I do as a homemaker as valuable. My youngest is in kindergarten this year, and I’m genuinely considering having another baby (I’m only 31). She fully expects me to get a job and go work instead. Her mindset is “well you finally got that done (kids off to school), time for you to go actually do something with your life.” And my mindset is “THIS is what I’m good at. This is what I’m MEANT to do.”
🚨 HOLY CRAP! The lone black male juror in the Clancy case is being urged to FILE A LAWSUIT after the fake news came out and exposed his private life to ATTACK him
The allegations went nowhere. Yet they are trying to DOX HIM by going public with his divorce and unproven allegations 😡
This is a private citizen who did the right thing. SUE THE FAKE NEWS!
He’s a black man and you can tell it made them even more furious about it.
Protect him at all costs 🙏🏻
This is a terrifying reality now. Stick to your guns on a jury and THEY WILL GO AFTER YOU
Three weeks after 9/11, President Gordon B. Hinckley closed General Conference with a prayer. Unusual. It’s worth closing your 9/11 with this prayer.
O God, our Eternal Father, Thou great Judge of the Nations, Thou who art the governor of the universe, Thou who art our Father and our God, whose children we are, we look to Thee in faith in this dark and solemn time. Please, dear Father, bless us with faith. Bless us with love. Bless us with charity in our hearts.
Bless us with a spirit of perseverance to root out the terrible evils that are in this world. Give protection and guidance to those who are engaged actively in carrying forth the things of battle. Bless them; preserve their lives; save them from harm and evil. Hear the prayers of their loved ones for their safety. We pray for the great democracies of the earth which Thou hast overseen in creating their governments, where peace and liberty and democratic processes obtain.
O Father, look with mercy upon this, our own nation, and its friends in this time of need. Spare us and help us to walk with faith ever in Thee and ever in Thy Beloved Son, on whose mercy we count and to whom we look as our Savior and our Lord. Bless the cause of peace and bring it quickly to us again, we humbly plead with Thee, asking that Thou wilt forgive our arrogance, pass by our sins, be kind and gracious to us, and cause our hearts to turn with love toward Thee. We humbly pray in the name of Him who loves us all, even the Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and our Savior, amen.
When I converted to the LDS Church in 2005 as a 18-year old, I truly had a hard time deciding if I should serve a mission or not.
Ultimately, I chose not to serve a traditional full-time 2-year mission, and instead chose to play basketball at BYU to represent the Savior and the Church that way.
20 years later, I testify that was the right choice for me personally. I know the path I chose is the one God wanted me to pursue.
I have preached the gospel in 4 languages, in 5 continents, in over 35 countries, always sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon.
Because of basketball and being an active member in the LDS Church, multiple times I gave interviews to the biggest news outlets in over a dozen countries where I got to share about the LDS faith.
Also because of basketball, my wife and I had the network and means to do dozens of service projects and drives to help those in need, in 4 different continents.
I was 18 years old when I made the decision not to serve a mission and pursue basketball. I was living halfway around the world away from my mom and dad, who made every single imaginable financial sacrifice for me to get to that point of receiving a basketball scholarship to earn a college degree and have a better foundation for my future.
People judge me and say I sinned and broke a commandment due to the many leaders of our faith (many whom did not serve a full-time mission themselves, by the way) stating serving a mission is a duty and an obligation and a responsibility. Those comments do hurt me.
I have spent the better part of 20 years working on being a disciple of Jesus Christ and letting my light shine, representing myself, my family and my Savior through my testimony, using basketball as a tool to preach, making sure I fulfill my mission: sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through basketball.
If that isn't enough for some of you and you still judge me, that's a you problem. If that's not enough for 15 men in Salt Lake (many of whom didn't serve themselves), that is a them problem.
I know Jesus died for my sins. Because of His sacrifice and overcoming death, I can be with my family forever.
I know the Book of Mormon is true.
I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God.
I know I am a member of His restored Church.
And I know I made the right choice as a 18-year to not serve a mission and go to BYU.
I say these things in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Sigh. Here goes.
A year ago today, my life changed. As many of you know, I am an outspoken conservative Catholic professor at a State University (views are my own and do not represent those of my University).
Charlie’s murder on a college campus should have been a watershed moment for Universities across this country and across the world.
Charlie died doing exactly what we professors have failed — or worse, purposely neglected — to do. He demonstrated what civil dialogue should look like. As His Excellency @BishopBarron so eloquently expressed it here — Charlie died with a microphone in his hand, not a weapon but an instrument of communication.
His brutal murder should have been condemned by every institution of higher education across this county as a systemic failure to safeguard our God given right to free speech.
Instead, a year on — and in spite of my best efforts, these institutions remain silent, including my own.
Instead, I open social media today to students anonymously gloating and jeering and laughing about Charlie’s death.
Instead, I wake up to an America whose institutions have failed to uphold the values for which they were established.
I’ve come to a conclusion. Rather than hoping these institutions will correct themselves and our society will steer herself back to civility where the sort of dialogue Charlie championed can occur, we need to do it ourselves.
In the end, that is what Charlie was doing. His approach was to model civil dialogue and the peaceful dissemination of ideas rather than to inflict his will upon these institutions from the top down.
In fact, this is the model that the early Church used in order to spread the Gospel.
We each need to wear through the soles of our own sandals in order to wear our way into the souls of others.
This has become my life’s mission.
Over the last year I have had hundreds of conversations with people from across the political spectrum and of all faith backgrounds.
I have had extensive meetings with colleagues on the opposite side of the political spectrum as well as frequent meetings with administration — including an upcoming discussion with one of our regents as part of a continued dialogue — given speeches and talks about civil dialogue and liberty, and I have had the pleasure of speaking at length with @TomTiffanyWI, @derrickvanorden, and @MikeAlfonsoWI about just these issues (thank you, gentlemen).
Most recently, and possibly most importantly, I have spent hundreds of hours engaging in interfaith discussions — particularly with members of the @Ch_JesusChrist.
I have been blessed with a gift of clarity. That is, I have been given the following certainty — if we are going to save Western civilization, the followers of Christ must come together to push back against the rising tide of Marxism and radical Islamism which breeds the type of resentment and violence that ultimately took Charlie from us.
The hour is late. We must set aside our doctrinal differences (which are non-negligible, I will grant) and work together to uphold the following declaration:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
These words are not just platitudes. These words are TRUTHS. These are immortal truths that Charlie understood well and, ultimately, died for.
So, I leave you with this:
Brothers and sisters, I implore you, set aside your differences. Unite around the eternal truths that make our civilization great. Raise up your voice. Praise God.
Pick up the mic.
Bruce R. McConkie had VERY strong and LONG held views about people of African descent holding the priesthood. But man did he hold an underrated role behind the scenes (in the year or so leading up to the ban being lifted) that helped change that narrative in the mind of other hard liners. No wonder he was able to boldly and confidently say:
“Forget everything that I have said, or what President Brigham Young or President George Q. Cannon or whomsoever has said in days past that is contrary to the present revelation. We spoke with a limited understanding and without the light and knowledge that now has come into the world. We get our-truth and our light line upon line and precept upon precept. We have now added a new gleam and a new gnosis and a new light and this blind darkness and clouded vision is now dispelled."
12 years ago today was the hardest and longest day of my life.
It's the day I said "thanks for being my dad".
1am in China and I see that my phone, which is on silent so I can sleep, has 22 missed calls from my wife and mom.
My dad was recovering from a medical mistake and he took a devastating and hard turn, it was really bad. 3 taxi rides to get back to the Hong Kong border, a taxi to the airport, flight to LA then southwest to Oakland and on to slc - he held on to life waiting for me to arrive and all of his 9 children had half an hour with him.
Because of the time change by the time I got home to Sacramento that night I'd had a 39 hour long day with 6 flights and the hardest experience of my life.
How do I honor a legend like my dad:
I try to be the best father I can. I'll call my daughters, I've sent an email to my missionary son and chatted with my high school boys.
I'll try to be the best husband possible.
I'll look for others. My dad was activated by a great scoutmaster, I'll see those on the margins and try and lift them up.
I'll follow my Savior so I end up where my dad went.
I'll call my mom and my siblings today. I've sent them all a digitized version of dad's scriptures with all of his notes.
I'll try to be happy. My dad wants me to be happy.
If you've read this far, call your dad and tell him you love him, or your mom, child, friend, anybody. Life is precious and goes by fast.
Elder Bednar, whom I admire greatly, says this:
“If you have felt the influence of the Holy Ghost today, you may take it as a sweet evidence that the Atonement is working in your life."
That is accessible for everyone.
Definitely a "Must See."

Evangelical: Mormons believe in a different Jesus.
Latter-day Saint: We believe Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, born of Mary, crucified for our sins, resurrected on the third day, and the only name whereby mankind can be saved.
Evangelical: Right. Different Jesus.
Latter-day Saint: Which part was different?
Evangelical: Your theology about Him.
Latter-day Saint: So “different Jesus” means “we disagree about some theology.”
Evangelical: Basically.
Latter-day Saint: Christianity has several billion different Jesuses, then.
lets reset our algorithm and listen to an apostle of God
it is my testimony that Clark Gilbert is an apostle
thank you and good night
Evangelical: My dear Latter-day Saint friend, I say this in love. Please examine Mormonism in light of the Bible and return to the biblical Jesus.
Latter-day Saint: Sure.
Evangelical: Wonderful. I’m glad your heart is open.
Latter-day Saint: Which biblical teaching would you like to discuss?
Evangelical: Well… you believe your works save you.
Latter-day Saint: No, I don’t.
Evangelical: Yes you do. Mormonism teaches that.
Latter-day Saint: Can you show me where?
Evangelical: I haven’t really studied Mormonism.
Latter-day Saint: Okay. Then maybe we should start with the Bible.
Evangelical: Exactly!
Latter-day Saint: James says faith without works is dead.
Evangelical: That doesn’t mean works save you.
Latter-day Saint: Agreed.
Evangelical: Wait.
Latter-day Saint: Paul says we are saved by grace.
Evangelical: Exactly!
Latter-day Saint: Agreed.
Evangelical: Wait.
Latter-day Saint: Jesus says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
Evangelical: Yes, but—
Latter-day Saint: Jesus tells the rich young ruler to keep the commandments.
Evangelical: Well—
Latter-day Saint: Peter tells people to repent and be baptized.
Evangelical: Baptism doesn’t save you.
Latter-day Saint: Peter literally says, “baptism doth also now save us.”
Evangelical: You’re taking that out of context.
Latter-day Saint: Interesting. Have you read 1 Peter recently?
Evangelical: That isn’t the point. The point is that Mormons follow prophets instead of Jesus.
Latter-day Saint: You mean like Christians followed Peter?
Evangelical: Peter was an apostle.
Latter-day Saint: Right.
Evangelical: God doesn’t use prophets anymore.
Latter-day Saint: Where does the Bible say that?
Evangelical: The Bible is complete.
Latter-day Saint: Where does the Bible say that?
Evangelical: Revelation says not to add to the book.
Latter-day Saint: You mean Revelation 22?
Evangelical: Exactly.
Latter-day Saint: Written before the Bible existed as a compiled book?
Evangelical: …
Latter-day Saint: Also Deuteronomy says essentially the same thing. Should we throw out everything after Deuteronomy?
Evangelical: You Mormons always twist Scripture.
Latter-day Saint: You came here to tell me I don’t know the Bible.
Evangelical: Correct.
Latter-day Saint: Have you read the Book of Mormon?
Evangelical: No.
Latter-day Saint: Studied LDS doctrine?
Evangelical: Not really.
Latter-day Saint: Read the Bible cover to cover?
Evangelical: That’s not relevant.
Latter-day Saint: So just to summarize: you don’t know what I believe, you haven’t read my scriptures, and when I quote the Bible you tell me the verses don’t mean what they say.
Evangelical: I’m just asking you to follow the biblical Jesus.
Latter-day Saint: Excellent. Tell me about Him.
Evangelical: Jesus saves us by grace alone and asks nothing of us.
Latter-day Saint: He literally spent His ministry asking people to do things.
Evangelical: You know what I mean.
Latter-day Saint: I’m beginning to think “the biblical Jesus” means “the Jesus described by your theology.”
Evangelical: That’s unfair.
Latter-day Saint: You opened the conversation by telling me my Jesus wasn’t biblical before asking me a single thing about what I believe.
Evangelical: I’m only begging you to examine your beliefs in light of Scripture.
Latter-day Saint: I would be delighted to.
Evangelical: Good.
Latter-day Saint: Will you be joining me?
Evangelical: …what?

I hate that I have to do this, it’s my least favorite part about my life. I knew my life would get even more dangerous when I announced I am suing California and began accepting invitations to speak on college campuses this semester.
I need to raise money again for security. Doing the right thing and exposing evil now puts your life in danger in today’s society. For example, a UC Irvine “lecturer” (teacher) is insinuating it would be funny to assassinate me and leftist are threatening to kill me constantly.
I will not cower to the radicals or the far left who threaten and plot to kill and destroy our country, yet the $30k–$50k a month it costs me just to stay safe doing my job is unsustainable. I make enough for my needs and my employees, but this added expense produces no return and is unsustainable on my own.
If you can donate, please donate here: https://t.co/t17KpayiXW Donations are tax-deductible and go strictly toward security/operations, anything helps 🙏🏼 If you cannot donate no worries please like and share this so more may see it!
God bless,

I believe the exact wording is:
“It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months”
We had a number of elders go home after 22-23 months to get back in time for school.
Insane that someone is saying that their mission is invalidated and near moot since they didn’t get to the 24 month mark.
Give me a break.
Prophecy: "The time is soon coming, when no man will have any peace but in Zion and her stakes.
I saw men hunting the lives of their own sons, and brother murdering brother, women killing their own daughters, and daughters seeking the lives of their mothers.
I saw armies arrayed against armies. I saw blood, desolation, fires.
The Son of Man has said that the mother shall be against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother.
These things are at our doors.
They will follow the Saints of God from city to city.
Satan will rage, and the spirit of the devil is now enraged.
I know not how soon these things will take place; but with a view of them, shall I cry peace?
No;
I will lift up my voice and testify of them.
How long you will have good crops, and the famine be kept off, I do not know; when the fig tree leaves, know then that the summer is nigh at hand."
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 161, Italics added
