🪡🧵NEW SERIES:
MY THOUGHTS ON TRUTH

Thought #1

Christ does not ask us to ‘turn a blind eye’ to the perils of our day or pretend that error does not exist. Instead, He instructs us to “First, cast out the beam out of thine own eye; AND THEN (He promises) thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”

If we have enobled desires to enter the public space and advocate for the truth on sensitive topics, we must be willing to spend AT LEAST equal time in pursuit of the beam in our own eye. When we do this, we allow Him to cleanse us of our own biases, grant us a truer and more complete understanding of a situation, and temper our passions with charity.

In this way we become powerful and righteous advocates for truth.

If I love my brother dearer,
And his mote I would erase,
Then the light should shine the clearer,
For the eye’s a tender place.
Now I’ll take no further trouble;
Jesus’ love is all my theme;
Little motes are but a bubble
When I think upon my beam.

Charity and love are healing;
These will give the clearest sight;
When I saw my brother’s failing,
I was not exactly right.
Others I have oft reprov-ed
For an object like a mote;
Now I wish MY beam remov-ed;
Oh, that my tears would wash it out!

Are you sick to your stomach when you show your ID at the doctors office as a new patient? Or when you get a library card? Or when you sign the documents to purchase a house or a car? Or when you go to the DMV to get a drivers license and have to show social security card, and proof of residence or when you have to show your passport when you travel abroad?

I don’t understand. Explain yourself. Don’t just toss out an idiom like “you make me sick to my stomach” and walk away like you’re a hero and you’ve made some kind of point.

If you have something real to say, say it and tell me why presenting the same ID you need for everything else is somehow a huge problem for you when you vote.

@AlBuffalo2nite @AlGeneRobi96834 I'm sure this stuff happens but this video seems staged

@ClownWorld Manufacture a situation where you are offended so that you can feel justified in your poor choices, and then pat yourself on the back when you're offended.

[JoshN @joshnaa2gez]

“Same sex attraction is not sinful. Acting on it is.”

Sure, but let’s be clear about something…

Identifying as “gay”… making homosexuality your actual identity instead of simply a feeling you’ve experienced…

That is “acting on it.”

It is a sin to identify as LGBTQIA+.

Because you are actively identifying with something that is sinful and rooted in lies.

Lies about the most fundamental realities of human biology and sociology.

Lies about the Plan of Salvation itself.

Latter-day Saints should welcome people who have sinned in this way, as we welcome all sinners.

But the invitation is to repentance.

@Notwokenow All I know is that I don’t know where I’d be if my dad hadn’t stayed

[Granny Daltinator @jad6790]

@MamaCAllen Try to have compassion for him. He probably has some cognitive function issues and can’t help himself. My dad was that way. It’s not fun. Pity him.

This this this!!!

"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.

Great job, Dad.. I'm proud of you! and I love the image too. Very very good

I remember when my first boy first asked me what "gay" was. I wanted to give him a good answer, but I hadn't prepared anything, and I was caught off guard.

What I said was, "Well, you know how mommy and daddy are married and we love each other and we kiss each other?"

He said, yeah.

"Well, some boys want to marry other boys, and some girls want to marry other girls. That's what being gay is."

He was quiet for a minute. I was worried I had said the wrong thing. Then he got this kind of disgusted look on his face and said, "Oh. That's weird."

I smiled and said, "Yeah. It is kind of weird, huh?" Then I spoke with him about how we don't hate gay people, but it's not something Jesus wants us to do. God wants us to have families and only a boy and a girl together can make babies and make a family.

I think it went pretty well. It's just funny how, without any prior conditioning or knowledge, he intuitively recognized that homosexuality just wasn't correct. It was "weird."

@LargeInStature_ Great job, Dad. I'm proud of you!

@surskitmaxxing @justin_hart @StewartJacob14 Maybe it is time we take a look at what Jeff Bezos does with his money vs what the Church of Jesus Christ does with its money. Compare apples to apples..

[Granny Daltinator @jad6790]

@itsme_urstruly I really hope there are some comments to this one. This is deep and I need to learn

[Granny Daltinator @jad6790]

Perhaps those who hate us aren’t “anti-Mormon” but are under the influence of anti-Christ

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently donated 40,000 pounds of food to both the Utah Food Bank in South Salt Lake City and Switchpoint in Tooele as part of the America250 initiative. Donations like these two have been made across the country as the Church has pledged to distribute 250 truckloads of food to 250 food banks in the United States.
