@nmycpa Sure thing, Brother Young.

@kylebuckley I assume Elder Buckley since that’s your last name? Happy to pray for him as well. Let me know thanks. God bless.

@LukeFHan Well a 12 yr old gambling is high unlikely. That said, that is mom & dad’s responsibility. It is not meet to be ‘commanded in all things’.

These 2 posts will teach some principles that answer this perfectly: https://t.co/bUpdo0O03s & https://t.co/KistcHYnhN

Something is getting clearer and clearer to me all the time.

There are actually three different populations in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hiding underneath the word “membership.”

Group 1: Internally governed disciples

They hear:

“You don’t need a rule for everything.”

and understand:

“I need to know Christ well enough that I will choose righteousness even when nobody tells me what to do.”

For these people, the way the church is currently governing and leading may actually be higher than the fundamentalist rule-based structure that historically governed social behavior within the church. But these people are rare.

Group 2: Rule-dependent performers

They hear:

“There isn’t a specific rule about this anymore.”

and understand:

“Therefore, it’s permissible.”

For these people, removing the rules like they have in FTSOY lowers the expected standard.

Group 3: Self-authorizing members

They hear:

“Seek personal revelation.”

and understand:

“My personal spiritual impression has authority over whatever the Church teaches.”

These are the Julie Hanks, Rosie Card, and similarly progressive members.

The church removed the guardrails and the membership hasn’t stepped up. We are in the sifting right now.

@pbabinski91 If it should be asked it would be asked. We either sustain the Prophet and the brethren or we don’t. Questioning this is inappropriate.

@BowTiedBroke I feel your pain…unfortunately all Chinese sellers have to do is claim on their customs documents that the product value is half what it actually is and the tariffs don’t impact them. There is so much coming in that even if some of this is caught it is worth it.

@CharlieK_news Don’t mislead. Trump said “Remember that Mark next time you make your statements.” NOT “run your mouth off”. Don’t be clickbait it ruins your reputation.

@drpepper ‘…Do, do, do’. Best thing I’ve seen in a while. Way to make it happen Dr. Pepper. Congrats to Romeo.

@MatthewXRP_ Hey Matthew, I love my family & the USA just like you. I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love what the USA stands for—especially the freedom to believe and speak openly. That freedom should unite us, not justify contempt for millions of people.

@josephtrimmer You are exactly where you need to be. Happy for you.

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

@ATrueMillennial Talmage is correct. “The Prophet Joseph Smith explained that this is a mistranslation; the Lord actually said that the thief would be with Him in the world of spirits.”

@Adam_DelDuca If it $60-$100 to create a 10 minute video what is the additional $140-$300 a week going towards?

My sister’s husband was killed in an airplane crash this week. His name was Dan. He was a great husband, father and man.

Death has a way of making you evaluate life. What a blessing to be alive with a wife and kids of my own and a knowledge that life continues after death.

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

This is awesome!

Beautiful. 😔❤️🙏🏼

The first time I read this book was in my late teens. I couldn’t believe I waited years to read the one book that would open my eyes to the reality of a living, loving Savior and his plan for me and you. It changed my life for ever. It is true! Give it a try. #bookofmormon

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

@TheodoreHCom @Ch_JesusChrist I’m guessing, along with President Ballard’s comments, that they know young men need the blessings of a mission more now than ever for what lies ahead. Especially, with the long view of these good young men being fathers in the future.

I'm thankful for the atonement of Jesus Christ that makes 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th chances and so on possible. #GiveThanks

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

#GiveThanks this past week has helped me focus on the good, positive things in my life in a world full of turmoil and negativity. It has also helped me remember the Giver of all of my blessings that I owe gratitude to.

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

I'm thankful to have peace in my life through God and His Son on this wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season. #GiveThanks

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

I'm so thankful for my health and the health of my wife and 3 children #GiveThanksDC

[Justin Basham @JustinBasham1]

There is so much to #GiveThanks for in 2020. Yes, it has been a challenging year. However, there have also been many miracles in my life. I'm guessing in your life too. If you look for it you will find it.
