Critical Race Theory Invades BYU Campus

As members of the church, we stand in a unique place in history. The opportunity before us is to "gather Israel". However, with the modern connection between peoples and races, there are ideologies that seek to further divide us. Critical Race Theory is one of these. Critical Race Theory and its fruits of Intersectionality, Anti-Racism, and "Whiteness" have been adopted by many at BYU and formal initiatives have been suggested that could further entrench it throughout the campus.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 49-50

"Idols and Spirits" Doctrine and Covenants Sections 49-50 are similar to what we find with the Children of Israel who were wandering in the desert. They encountered other "religions" and "gods" that were not of Jehovah. The Shakers had some unique beliefs that the Lord, through Joseph Smith, refuted, such as celibacy, shaking, and dismissing baptism and marriage. We learn through these sections that certain"spirits" can appear at first to be from God, but they are deceivers.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com   Come Follow Me LDS Doctrine and Covenants 49-50

Netflix Is Not Protecting Our Kids

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 46-48

"Submission, Holy Ghost, and Gifts" As we look throughout the scriptures, there are certain "points of introduction" where the authors, as they lay out their spiritual reasoning, give us a clue as to what they are going to cover. In this case, Doctrine and Covenants 46 begins with the Holy Ghost, then goes into submission and the gifts of the Spirit. We see the same formula from Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 and from Moroni in Moroni 10.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com   Come Follow Me LDS Doctrine and Covenants 46-48

The Doctrine of Christ- A New Perspective

"Birth Baptism & Bearing" Many have looked to 2 Nephi 31 for an understanding of the Doctrine of Christ. However, without the proper context we may miss the richness of this doctrine. 1 Nephi 11, though void of the specific phrase, teaches us what the Doctrine of Christ represents as well as a further understanding of Lehi's Dream of the Tree of Life.   Website- https://www.cwicmedia.com   Doctrine of Christ

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 45

"What Are These Wounds?" Doctrine and Covenants 45 is a rehash of Matthew 24. It covers signs to come before destruction. It was given originally by Jesus on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. It is the precursor and trigger for Joseph Smith Matthew found in the Pearl of Great Price. This covers deception in our times, a Jaredite-like war, and the breakdown of society into "ites" or tribes. It is the opposite of the gathering of Zion.
