Forgiveness, Effort, and Zion's Foundation

Episode 25

Monday, June 16, 2025 • Duration 17:38

The episode emphasizes that building Zion, both then and now, doesn't require perfection but specific requirements from the Lord. These include:

• Forgiveness: The command "to forgive all" is essential, as unforgiveness can "afflict the soul."
• "A heart and a willing mind": This signifies "love and commitment" and "giving our best effort and finest thinking" in seeking God's wisdom and obeying His word.
• Patience and diligence in "small things": Zion is built on "small things," accomplished by those who do not become "weary in well-doing." The episode also highlights that the Lord knows the "thoughts of [the] heart," as exemplified by William E. McLellin's experience where his unstated questions were answered through revelation. The Lord's Church is described as an "ensign" or standard, where people gather to prepare the world for the Savior's return. The overall message aims to reignite hope for those dealing with spiritual burnout or doubt, reminding them that their "small, steady efforts are weaving eternity."

That Which Is of God Is Light

Episode 21

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 • Duration 17:24

This episode addresses the question of how to discern truth in a world flooded with confusion. It discusses the historical context of these revelations in 18312. Section 49 corrected the beliefs of Leman Copley, a convert from the Shakers, who held onto teachings like celibacy, rejection of marriage, and the idea that Christ had already returned. Section 50 clarified true manifestations of the Spirit for new converts in Kirtland who were experimenting with erratic spiritual practices. The central theme is derived from Doctrine and Covenants 50:24: “That which is of God is light… groweth brighter and brighter.” The episode highlights that truth from God brings clarity, order, and growth, while false teachings lead to confusion or fear. Specific false beliefs corrected in D&C 49 included the idea that celibacy is holier than marriage (contrasted with "Marriage is ordained of God"), that Christ had already returned (contrasted with "The Son of Man cometh at the appointed time"), and that eating meat is sinful (contrasted with using meat sparingly with thanksgiving). The episode teaches that we can recognize God’s light by observing if teachings edify both the teacher and learner, align with scripture and prophets, and possess a purity of heart. Discernment is important in daily choices regarding marriage and family, and when facing cultural pressures.
