Jim Cobabe:
I wept when I learned of this sad news. Is something amiss in the Church, that the Lord would allow one of his temples to be destroyed? _______________ It is sad, but I seriously doubt anything unusual is amiss. I think there was a construction accident. Larry Jackson ---------------- Noel: When I start to get overconfident, I remind myself of Laman and Lemuel's perspective on the righteousness of the people. Quoting from 1 Nephi Chapter 17: "we know that the people who were in the land of Jerusalem were a righteous people; for they kept the statutes and judgments of the Lord, and all his commandments, according to the law of Moses; wherefore, we know that they are a righteous people." Do we, today, suffer from the same lack of visual acuity? How hard is it for us, collectively, to see the need for repentence? If I read the scriptures correctly, I see a time in the future when the parable of the ten virgins will be fulfilled (D&C 45). I read of a time when the 'vengence will come speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth... And upon my house shall it begin. (D&C 112) For an answer I would have to look to God and the prophet. When I listen to President Hinckley, I hear a very positive message. I have to assume that each one of us must seek confirmation of that message from God that we are a righteous people and have favor in His eyes. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
