Come Follow Me LDS - Abraham 3 & Moses 1, Part 1

Prelude to Creation Abraham 3 and Moses 1 are preludes to the Creation and Garden of Eden stories. They set the stage for these dramas and for the doctrines. Importantly, we discover that these chapters are descriptions of visions that both Abraham and Moses receive. Therefore, we can compare them to other scriptural visions for context and understanding. Kolob then really isn't that strange seen as a metaphor for Christ. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Latter-Day Saint Faith Crisis - "It's A Natural Development Process"

Jeffrey Thayne, Nathaniel Givens, and Dan Ellsworth What is faith? What is knowledge and testimony? A faith crisis is a developmental event and a natural occurrence for some on a journey of faith. We all mature in our faith at different rates and in different stages. None of us can move forward in our faith without working with uncertainty and doubt. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - The Politically Incorrect Family Proclamation

A Very Politically Incorrect Document The Family Proclamation is not what it once was. Originally, it inspired yawns from Church members and seemed like a "nothing burger" in 1995. Today, with the attacks on and the deconstruction of traditional families, it appears both prophetic and politically incorrect. Marriage between a man and a woman, gender roles, and the spiritual rights of children all seem like an old Disney movie. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

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
