BYU's New Social Justice Forums - Reverend Dr. William Barber II

New Social Justice Fervor for BYU Devotionals BYU's guest Forum  speaker last week was the Reverend Dr. Willaim Barber II. He spoke of forming political coalitions and a "Moral March" on Washington. While not quite a leftist like Ibram Kendi, Barber is a political activist who preached a political sermon at the BYU Devotional. It was very similar to his Democratic National Convention speech in 2020. In the end, the BYU audience gave him a standing ovation.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Polygamy And The Manifesto - History & Context - Cristina Rosetti

Polygamy and the Church's Conflict with the US Government Cristina Rosetti and I talk about the build-up to the 1890 Manifesto known as Official Declaration 1 in the Doctrine and Covenants. The Manifesto is a result of decades of conflict with the US Government and was perhaps the major motivation for the Saints' move west. What is the legal history of plural marriage in the US and what finally brought about the Manifest from President Wilford Woodruff?   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 137-138

The Soteriological Problem is one that Christianity has grappled with for 2,000 years. If God is just and loving, but only those who know of Jesus Christ and are baptized by one with authority can be saved, and very few ever get that chance, then . . ? The Restored Gospel answers that question and Baptism for the Dead is a big part of that answer.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Is The Salvation Army Going Woke?

The Salvation Army recently presented a document to their organization's employees and volunteers on racism, encouraging their organization to read Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. It implied tenets of Critical Race Theory and Critical Social Justice. A backlash forced them to remove it. But the organization is just another example of Christianity sliding toward a Social Justice Gospel and Liberation Theology.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Understanding Demons? - Dan Ellsworth

Dan Ellsworth and I talk about whether demons are real, how their characteristics apply to you, and why you need to understand them. Dan also gives some great insight into the temptations given to Jesus by Satan and the Sermon on the Mount as a reaction to those temptations. In many ways, this is a continuation of our previous discussion on the War in Heaven.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

In this episode, we journey through these two Sections and Isaiah 52-53 to put all into context. In some regards, we are all Isaiah's Suffering Servant as followers of Christ.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com
