@williacd55@RonaldARasband When Christ was on the earth his flock was within his reach and walking distance. The gathering is now worldwide and missionaries who wear His name represent Him and do the work his apostles did during His mortal ministry with the purpose of gathering and sharing his message.
@RonaldARasband@Ch_JesusChrist My son just joined those numbers today. I’m proud of him and all those who choose to serve the Lord. What a remarkable time for a remarkable generation❤️
@Jmctv651 I wonder if President Trump is aware of how many people pray for his safety everyday. There are many who want him dead because he’s a disrupter and bought us time. His role is essential to our nation’s recovery and God will protect him until he’s finished with his mission🙏
“Mormons turned a swamp into a metropolis. Then they turned a desert into an empire. It’s the most American story.”
Their religious beliefs take them to Missouri. Neighbors learn they are anti-slavery and violently drive them out.
They go to Illinois and turn a swamp into a city that rivals Chicago. Only to have violent mobs run them out.
They walk toward Utah. Hoping to find a safe place to gather.
Jim Bridger mocks them. He bets $1,000 they can’t grow crops in Utah. They continue anyway.
The Utah soil is so hard it breaks their plows. So they engineer a way to water a desert.
Their crops grow. Salt Lake City sprawls. They expand. Latter-day Saints settle 500 towns across the West. A network of farms, commerce, and faith.
Their women become the first women to vote. They elect America’s first female state senator.
Their women organize themselves. With very little training, they create a system that lowers infant mortality to among the lowest rates in the country.
When the Depression hits, Latter-day Saints implement the most effective welfare program in the country. Decades later, Ronald Reagan studies it and calls it a model for the country. Its impact is seen today as Utah has the lowest usage of federal food assistance in the country.
The pursuit of knowledge and science becomes a hallmark. They start universities. They send their smartest men and women back east to learn the latest ideas and bring them back.
They are innovative. Technology that changes the world emerges from their culture. The television. The artificial heart. The weapons that won WWII. The beginnings of the internet.
The work ethic and cooperation that propelled them to develop the American West continues today. Their outsized influence on the world is famous.
They know religious persecution better than most. So they champion religious freedom for all, even those they disagree with.
Sociologists are obsessed with their outcomes. A Princeton researcher studied teens in America. She concluded that “Mormon teens are faring best.” Harvard data recently found that kids who grow up in Latter-day Saint homes are the most likely to say they feel loved by both parents. Other national studies consistently find them to be the happiest people in the country.
Gallup finds they are the most observant Christians in the country, a dedication to their faith that is unrivaled. Pew Research finds they know many Bible stories better than any other Christians.
A swamp became a metropolis. A desert became an empire. A persecuted people became the happiest in America. That’s the most American story ever told.
@greg_bufkin@glennbeck How so? We don’t believe that they are one being, but 3 separate and distinct beings. We also believe we are created in their image. Christ died for all of us and atoned for our sins and then returned to his father. The Holy Spirit is a separate being as well. Anything else?
@Watch_Fire_Kek@glennbeck Symbolism has been hijaked over the years to mean things today that it was never intended to. If you’d like to understand the ancient origins of these and many other (hijaked) symbols I’d recommend listening to the Ancient Traditions podcast. https://t.co/a5i2qfKEOP
@Ch_JesusChrist One practice I’ve developed with conference sessions is to study the previous session’s talks to prepare and then sincerely pray and ask Heavenly Father about questions I have. During the conference talks I listen to the speakers and my questions are always answered. ❤️GC!
@Ch_JesusChrist President Nelson invited all of us to listen for and hear Christ more in our lives. Doing so has deepened my relationship with our Savior. He also counseled us to forgive and offer more gratitude which brought me more peace and better alignment in my life. So grateful for him!
@elonmusk Wow! His fundamental belief system is completely fixed in anti-American mindset and it stands in absolute opposition to what our nation was built on. We’re the ones who need to go? How do you even fix that??!
@elonmusk They operate under a 100 year plan and global caliphate has been their goal for several decades. They weren’t silent about their plans prior to the 911 attacks but we didn’t take them seriously. I absolutely believe them and world leaders better wake up to this.
@KSL5TV Praying for his quick recovery and so glad that the bullet miraculously missed all vital organs. The Lord didn’t send him there to die tragically and I’m sure this will become a powerful experience for many in ways most of us won’t see. The Lord watches over his missionaries.
@MAGAVoice This is how healing begins. It takes a real man to admit when he was wrong and apologize. We need real men and women to heal our country and make it strong and great again. Thank you for leading by example @elonmusk
No love lost there because we’re all human.
