Right? I have had the same as well and all it did was hurt me. Yet, despite this, we still hold on to them and all this does is act like acid to corrode the soul. If we want to be people who the Lord will preserve for what's coming, this is one area we have to master. Can't be of one heart and one mind when we hold anger against our "brother/sister." Did not Christ say cast the beam from our own eye? Did he not also say that before we worship him and we are in conflict with our brother that we are to first reconcile ourselves with him and then offer the gift? These things are some plain in the scriptures, but yet people refuse to listen. Yet, there is a reason why Satan promotes anger. Not only does it divide, but it stifles and even neutralizes the voice of God. And without that, we are blind and lost.

@@teshuvahareturn agreed this is a constant challenge that is a continual work in progress lol 😆. But we can do it ! 😀. We must pray 🙏 more fully for the gift of charity 😀

Thank you for grappling with the question and not rejecting it outright. Yes, that is on the right track, but there is more. Here are some follow up questions: What causes one to be of strong faith, hope, and charity? What do those words even mean? Further, if we are LDS members are deficient in these areas what does it say about us and about the strength of the Church as a whole? Will our membership in the Church be enough to endure what is coming? The early saints had greater manifestations that we do, but they were also rejected by the Lord (see D&C 124:45), what does that say about us? These are things not to take lightly.

@@teshuvahareturn the scriptures say that we are saved by grace after all we can do. One could argue that all we can do isn’t very much at all we of course can’t work our way into Heaven . People need to develop Christ Like attributes and in doing so I think we are we do develop those attributes then our faith hope and charity will grow. For me barring my testimony on fast and testimony meeting is a great act of faith for me because public speaking terrifies me . President Hinckley said that the genius of the church is that everyone has a calling which purpose is to strengthen the people faith hope and charity so I do believe that valeting members of the church that keep their covenents are are honest with The Lord when repentance is required and president Nelson says that let repentance be a daily joy 🤩. So yes I do believe that things will be great for everyone who can serve the Lord with all their heart mind and strength .

I think that can be arranged.

Money

Yup--money we don't have.

Ryan, thanks for you comments. I hear you about California. A couple of thoughts. First, one reason cost of living is high in California is due to California's public policy which includes a heavily regulatory environment and high taxes. Second, even if cost is high, people are not forced to live in California. If the expenses are too great they have the option to move (as least for now). Problem with min wage, besides violating the personal accountability principle and the law of justice, is that is actually makes it most costly on the employer the higher employees (especially small businesses) and therefore fewer workers are hired and/or cost for the consumer increases to account for labor costs.

Thank you. I'm glad to see this was of value to you. And coming from someone who also offers profound and thoughtful insights on his channel, this means a lot. You're certainly a heavy-hitter and grateful that I've been able to contribute.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to hear that this message has impacted someone positively. Of course, the glory is to God and I'm grateful for his grace, particularly in sending great teachers into my life, such as you. Please share with others so they might be benefited as well.

Indeed. The sifting of the wheat from the chaff is upon us. We're upon the threshing floor.

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have a smart phone? Have you tried using that?

I realized I should have included the parable of the wedding feast, which speaks to this principle. God's invitation is not only for all, but those who'll receive him will come from all walks of life and will be ones we least expect.

@@teshuvahareturn I find your blog and your videos to be enlightening and instructive. Thank you.

@@oad51 Thanks for the kind words. It's rewarding to know that someone is finding value from this blog/vlog. There are definitely more posts planned for the future and I'll keep doing this blog as long as it provides value.
