From the days of Adam forward, the plan has always involved everyone. There have been a dozen times in scriptural history where God or his prophets have limited who they've worked with. And I would simply have a start today with the understanding that that limitation is never because God doesn't want to save all of his children. But there are times when it's not the right thing at that time to go to all people.
How does understanding God's nature help us understand missionary work and priesthood authority? Dr. Michael Goodman explores the expanding Church, Peter's growth, and God's prophetic pattern for teaching His children.
