Ephesians 1:7



The pure love of Christ is CHARITY.

GRACE is charity in action.

THE ENABLING POWER OF THE ATONEMENT is His grace.

There are more words and more phrases or terms. But it truly is all His LOVE.

Sad hearts.

There seem to be many people in the world today who are angry with how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is functioning. In particular, women who are members. It truly saddens my heart.

A question of church doctrine is not a question of some old man's decision making. Heavenly Father calls a Prophet to act as his voice on the Earth today. It began with Joseph Smith in the early 1800's and has continued since then. I believe this with all my heart.

I feel like the world has grown accustomed to the thought that you can get anything you want, if you throw a big enough hissy fit. There is always a never-ending stream of comments on the sad state of mine, and the upcoming generation. We are described as spoiled and over indulgent. We get anything we want and don't know how to show respect because we believe we deserve everything. But behavior like this is taught.

There is a growing number of middle aged women who refuse to be satisfied with the word of God. A growing number who are determined to get something they will never receive. God laws are unchanging. While small "cultures" of the Church may change, doctrine never will.

When Christ was on the Earth he saw many people making mistakes in regards to how the commandments were to be lived. He did not whine or stomp his feet. He lovingly shared the truth and let people make their decisions. May we not all act this way?

But there are so many different ideas about what is right. But our opinion of what is right is not always true. People call me brainwashed and unable to think for myself. I've come to know, through answers from God, that his Prophet speaks the truth. The Prophet teaches and institutes truth. No amount of foot stomping or loud yelling will change the truth.

There are many determined to take this angry and tumultuous path. "For he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." -2 Nephi 2:27

There are many determined to get their way. And if they don't, they will do all they can to ruin the experience of everyone else who loves this Gospel and ALL of its teachings. I'm sorry, but does this sound Christ-like? Or does it sound more like the scripture cited above? Aka, you're acting like Satan. Personally I see that as quite a problem..........

I'm grateful for the knowledge of God's work on the Earth. I'm so lucky to have a group of leaders I trust to never lead me astray. They always share truth. And occasionally I don't get too excited about something that will make me change my life. Change is hard at times. But I never have to question the things I am encouraged to do. Everything about this Gospel encourages me to be the best I can possibly be. I love the Priesthood and the power men have to act in the name of God. I love this divine role I have as a woman. I hope all turn to God with the questions in their hearts and trust, and accept, his answers.
