is someone available to look over my talk/sermon? it's last minute and i have to send it in about 2 hours. it's on #RacialJustice.
it uses the #BookOfMormon jsyk, also the Bible , Matthew 15: 21-28.
i'm a layperson and still developing confidence in my interpretation and usage of scripture. the audience is mostly older white people, but not exclusively. the audience is important to know for any message.
cool academic lecture on angels live right now (12/12/2023, 7 EST). i am really enjoying it, currently talking about nephilim and the "sons of God" in the book of Genesis.
you are welcome to join a service with the Beyond the Walls congregation today.
just getting started. the topic is the Enduring Prinicple of Worth of All Persons. that's one of my favorites. A wonderful way to embody Christ is to advocate and proselytize the principle that ALL people are of worth, and the need to lift up and listen to the marginalized who are often devalued
it's personal scripture, but there are revelations and messages for the Saints therein. for ex.,
one of the sections is titled and speaks to the "Unity of the Saints"
since i am writing the record, in a word processor rather than gold plates like #Mormon and Moroni, i have titled it "The Book of Wednesday"
as more is written and revealed i will likely share some of it.
Section: Unity of the Saints, Chapter: Zion is an Olive Tree
"Stagnancy is out of place in our Restoration tradition. A prophetic people open to further revelation from the Divine should adapt and grow. Tradition is often valuable, and a Latter Day Saint tradition is being open to change when something better or true is presented."
"Fundamentally, Latter Day Saints embrace truths as they are revealed from any number of places. Our faith tradition encourages us to adapt, thrive, and grow. To be curious about the productivity of the tree, and picking up new techniques to help it grow.
We learn from the grove of trees around us. Trees different from our individual churches, but still part of the interdependent/interconnected grove that is the Body of Christ."
