I’ve probably rambled a really long time here. And I did have a quote here. And in the April 1925 general conference, which is our church-wide meeting that’s held twice a year where we have talks from the leaders of the church and sometimes receive revelation in an instruction.
One of the leaders of the church at the time, Jay Golden Kimball said, “There has never been a time in my life or any period of my life where I felt better spiritually and more willing to do my duty and serve the Lord and labor for his cause and for his interests.”
And Jay Golden Kimball was a colorful man with colorful language and mostly colorful history. And I feel what he said there. I don’t always want to do stuff for other people. I like sitting on the couch and watching television, but I’m making these efforts, like this video, to make myself accessible or to share and to do my part to help God’s message get out there.
I don’t know if anyone’s made it this far in the video, but I would just ask that if you’re a member of the church, just don’t ever stop being every member a missionary. Keep that mindset. And if you’re against the church, I would ask you to just reflect on why you’re against the church and really evaluate those feelings.
And if you still have them, that’s fine. That’s your prerogative. If you want to be rabidly against us or indifferent to us or for us, I don’t care. That’s your journey, your decision. You got to do all that. I can’t tell you do this or else. And if you’re investigating the church, just keep doing it. Keep reading, talk to members, pray, read your scriptures.
There’s three works right there. That there’s nothing bad in them. Nothing in there says, go kill children and adultery and. It’s the same kind of good advice that’s in the Bible, that’s in a lot of other scriptures like the Quran and the various Hindu texts. Read more
