@RealMattA_ I’m pretty sure there are many Liberals that would be more than happy to donate, but I’m not one of them!

@JayGenXer This is not Canada anymore.

A big congratulations to the Alto executives for getting $2.8 million in bonuses for a train project that has no route, no financing, no building permit, no start date, and won’t exist for over a decade. The Liberal Club is getting richer than ever. Thank you, Mark Carney. Pop the Champagne!!! 🍾 🥂

Evangelical: So you’re saying the Great Apostasy means every Christian disappeared for 1,700 years? Latter-day Saint: No. That’s not what we mean. Evangelical: Then you’re saying nobody was saved? Latter-day Saint: Also no. Evangelical: Well then what are you talking about? Latter-day Saint: Let’s start with a question. Did Christ establish a Church with apostles, prophets, ordinances, and authority? Evangelical: Sure. The apostles led the early Church. Latter-day Saint: Did Christ give them authority? Things like the keys of the kingdom, the power to bind on earth and in heaven, ordain leaders, and govern the Church? Evangelical: Yes. Latter-day Saint: What happened when the apostles died? Evangelical: The Church continued. Latter-day Saint: The believers continued. But who inherited the apostolic keys? Evangelical: The Bible. Latter-day Saint: The Bible inherited authority? Evangelical: The Bible preserves the teachings. Latter-day Saint: I agree. But preserving teachings and possessing authority are different things. Evangelical: Authority comes from the Word of God. Latter-day Saint: Then why did Christ ordain apostles at all? Why not just hand everyone a book and say, “Good luck”? Evangelical: Because they were needed for the beginning. Latter-day Saint: Where does the New Testament say their authority would no longer be needed? Evangelical: The gates of hell would not prevail against the Church. Latter-day Saint: Agreed. We don’t believe they did. Evangelical: Then there couldn’t have been an apostasy. Latter-day Saint: Only if you define “apostasy” as “every Christian vanishes.” Evangelical: Isn’t that what it means? Latter-day Saint: No. We believe faithful Christians remained throughout history. We believe many precious truths survived. We believe God continued working with people. Evangelical: Then what was lost? Latter-day Saint: The same thing that was lost repeatedly in the Old Testament: divine authority and the right to administer God’s ordinances. Evangelical: So you’re saying Christians were good people but lacked authority? Latter-day Saint: That’s much closer to what we’re actually saying. Evangelical: But why would a restoration be necessary? Latter-day Saint: For the same reason Christ called apostles in the first place. If authority wasn’t important, there would have been nothing to restore. Evangelical: So when you say “Great Apostasy,” you don’t mean God abandoned humanity? Latter-day Saint: No. We mean humanity lost the apostolic authority Christ originally placed in His Church. That’s a very different claim than what most people think Mormons mean. Most arguments against the Great Apostasy start by arguing against a position Latter-day Saints don’t actually hold.

If Pierre Poilievre had: > said "Make America Great Again" > went another country & said “it’s good to be home” > went to China & said he was "setting us up for the New World Order" > bought condos from wealthy donors so they don't "lose money" > got caught on his hands and knees with Ghislaine Maxwell > negotiated a majority > passed a law allowing cabinet to secretly spy on Canadians > led the country to be the only G7 in a recession > bragged about sending money to people who can't afford to eat > missed 100 out of 136 question periods > spent nearly a $1 million on airplane food in 1 yr > reappointed someone who couldn't recall flying business class > failed to deport 23 of 24 identified IRGC operatives > allowed 577,739 deportation orders to sit unenforced > rammed a spy bill with secret amendments > had a 86 yr old defense board with the US suspended > proposed a debt sovereign fund > got additional tariffs from the US for not stopping forced labour imports > quietly removed "forced labour" from Global Affairs' diplomatic goals > sealed Health Canada vaccine injury records until 2040 > took 4 different positions on Iran strikes in 96 hours > begged the US to let Canada back into trade talks The legacy media would call it the greatest political collapse in Canadian history. But it's Carney, so they call it leadership instead.

@PeacemakingSt So thankful for both books!

@TheMarcitect @JayGenXer Exactly!

@j_divis If we have eye to see and ears to hear 😊

@Michael_Voris @Primary_Pianist Can you explain how they can be one when Jesus says “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father….” How can He ascend to His Father (God) if He is God the Father?

@TruthHolder2023 @michcooley Praying that the Lord will bless you during this trial and that you can soon find peace. 💕

Joy isn’t simply about smiling, laughter, or even being happy. It's about drawing nearer to Jesus Christ through dedication to Him and His commandments. It is rejoicing in His goodness and mercy, the hope for eternal life, and peace in our hearts today.

@TruthHolder2023 Thanks for this reminder!

@StewartJacob14 @justin_hart So thankful that I belong to a fiscally responsible church that is able to help billions in need!

Happy Family Month! Repost if you support the Family Proclamation! Let’s #FloodXwithTruth!

“ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” John 15:11

@VoteTrevorLee @VVenerabilis I feel that in our quest for love of others and acceptance to allow others to worship/do as they wish - allowing for choice- it has muted our voices. Always afraid to offend. Instead, we need to loving stand for God’s gospel.

I LOVE the Sabbath Day! As one who did grow up with lists of what is and isn’t appropriate on the Sabbath, I am appreciative of this direction from President Russell M. Nelson: “I learned from the scriptures that my conduct and my attitude on the Sabbath constituted a sign between me and my Heavenly Father. With that understanding, I no longer needed lists of dos and don’ts. When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, ‘What sign do I want to give to God?’ That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear.” (end quote) Throughout the week my mind often goes to the many tender mercies God gives me throughout any given day— I often find my heart drawn out in gratitude for the many blessings that come to me through being a member of this church— Tears flow as I think of how Jesus Christ will never leave or forget me, how He has ALWAYS been there for me in the darkest and most crushing times of my life. My thoughts are with Him, but we run at such an accelerated pace. So as Sunday approaches each week, I am grateful to have time specifically set aside to WORSHIP him in greater abundance. I know exactly what sign I hope to send to God— I want to spend my time focusing on Jesus Christ and doing things that will strengthen my relationship with Him. To make it a day of Heavenly connection as much as possible. To truly make it a different day from the other days of the week— not just an extension of them. To make it a day where the deepest desire of my heart is to draw closer to Him and hear His voice more clearly. To draw down power from heaven that can’t come in any other way. And to let Him know, without question, that HE is the most important person in my life, and that I could never thank Him enough for what He has done, and continues to do for me! As Mark taught— “The Sabbath is made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” In EVERYTHING we are commanded to do, the Lord is inviting us to come closer to Him. Blessings are ALWAYS awaiting us! HAPPY SABBATH!

Dallin H. Oaks may be the most prolific writer and speaker in the modern Church. Which is why dismissing his spiritual gifts takes a kind of willful ignorance. Between one of the most decorated legal careers of his generation, serving as BYU president, sitting on the Utah Supreme Court, chairing the PBS board, sustained advocacy for religious freedom across multiple decades and multiple countries, and then four decades as an apostle and now president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The man has spent a lifetime putting his convictions on paper. Read his writings. Listen to his speeches. Watch the example of his life. Hold all of it against the backdrop of what the world is actually facing right now. If you do all that and still don't walk away knowing he's a prophet, or at minimum a man who developed more genuine spiritual gifts in a single lifetime than most people will ever encounter, that's a skill issue.

@latterdaylaura Hang names and create a family tree.

@jesse_k_fox When my son left I told him I would continue to talk about my spiritual experiences or scriptures. I told him it wasn’t because I was trying to talk him back, but because that’s who I am. He’s okay with that and we’re able to have great spiritual discussions. Someday….
