How Postmodernism Will Change Scripture
"Lean not unto thine own understanding" Postmodernism in light of Proverbs 3:5 - Postmodernism seeks to elevate your "lived experience" above an objective truth such as the gospel. Postmodernism is primarily responsible for the idea of a "social construct." I explain how postmodernism and its Deconstruction will attack the scriptures with the example of Nephi's "liken all scripture unto us." This phrase may be used to support the idea that there is no absolute truth and that only our own personal truth matters. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

"ites", Babel, Jonathan Haidt, & Social Media
Social Media is Disintegrating Society Author and social phycologist Jonathan Haidt recently wrote an article for the Atlantic. It is a summary of what he has been speaking and writing about for the last 10 years. Like the aftermath of the Tower of Babel, Social Media is pulling us apart and we are speaking our own languages. From simple adjustments such as "share", "retweet", and "like" buttons, our behavior is being manipulated online from social connecters to performers, from authentic statements to dishonesty. We are becoming the "ites" of the Book of Mormon. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Exodus 18-20, Moses, Jethro & Priesthood
Exodus chapter 18 is not primarily about delegation. It is about the priesthood. It is parallel to Abraham 3. As the stage gets set for the Sinai experience, we see the formation of a temple template through the Interpreter of Temple Imagery and Drama. "Bounds" are set on Sinai, and the Children of Israel become afraid of being "proven". Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Don't Be A Victim - Your Relationship with God - General Conference Commentary
Elder Christofferson guides us through the noise of adversity to the signal of our relationship with Christ and teaches us not to be victims. Using the examples of Job, Abraham, Joseph of Egypt, and Joseph Smith as they use their adversity to strengthen their relationship with the Lord. He quotes the Lord, "Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?” When certain adversity strikes we have the option of growing in faith or becoming bitter trying to justify our position. Faith = Trust There is an attack on personal responsibility. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Identity and The Gospel - General Conference Commentary
The West, through nefarious ideologies of identity, is systematically being broken down by society, family, and the individual. We live in a world imagined and framed by Marcuse and Foucault. The Brethren seem to counter this with their placement of "Child of God" as the primary identity of each of us. This Eternal Identity is used in conjunction with and superior to other identities such as race and sexual orientation. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Easter Week Primer - Royal Procession and Endowment
Easter Week Should Be Seen as a Royal Procession, Coronation, and Temple Experience The last week of Jesus' mortal life takes on more meaning when we see it through the lens of ancient rituals and the temple. This week is Royal Procession and Coronation, something the people were very familiar with. It also follows the holiest day and ordinance of The Day of Atonement. This week is also better understood by placing it into the frame of our temple experience. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Exodus 14-17 Moses and The Red Sea
The Lord Intervenes In Our Lives The Lord tells Moses and the Children of Israel to "camp by the sea." The Children of Israel are then concerned for their lives with nowhere to run from the Egyptians. The Lord then intervenes and has His prophet "divide the sea." The Lord works in the same manner in our own lives. The Children of Israel "murmur" again and again regardless of knowing that the Lord is with them. Amalek may be the origin of the Nephite dissident factions. We all should sustain the prophet and hold up his arms. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Corrupting The Doctrine of Heavenly Mother - General Conference Commentary
Elder Renlund Offers Clarity on the Doctrine of Heavenly Mother Elder Renlund opens by confirming that we have a Heavenly Mother. That is the doctrine. But then shows how "speculation" on that doctrine can take us too far as it has for several. Is this what has happened previously in gospel history? Is this a repeating pattern? Is it impossible for us in mortality to worship a Heavenly Mother? We talk about "Asherah" in the Old Testament and the Tree of Life in Lehi's Dream. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com
