2010: Joseph, Emma & others witness of 2 Parallel organizations to the Church
The Living constitution within
Could it be easier than we have made it?
Men and women working together with a common higher cause, and common interest in caring for the earth.
He did not want "yes men"
Joseph spoke of speaking our honestly and not becoming dough head.
Dream of Elder Bednar
I received a very detailed dream just before confirmation of this work by the Savior in the Korea Temple in March of 2017. Elder Bednar, in a wheel chair, was addressing a full congregation of Saints that were sitting down in a lower section of a main chapel, the level of the chapel seemed below ground level. Up on the left just above the congregation, I was holding up a simple cut out circle of the world, and he asked, What is that? I said it was a simple way to see the world. He came toward me to see it and then passed by me heading up some circular stairs to a higher level in front of the entire Church congregation. As he ascended up, there was an overweight woman that was dressed like a nurse on his left attempting to help him, and a large man (Like a Samoan) on his right, both assisting him as he went up the stairs that circled back around to the head of the congregation. As he passed by me his energy increased as if gliding up the stairs in his wheel chair. The woman or nurse on his left was falling behind, and the man on his right, was keeping up but struggling with his extra weight. . As Elder Bednar ascended to the top of the circular stair, and faced the congregation, the dream ended.
I would encourage you to follow his talks at conference. "We should not expect the Church as an organization to teach or tell us everything we need to know and do to become devoted disciples and endure valiantly to the end." April 2019 Conference. He continues.... We cannot rely exclusively upon or borrowed gospel light and knowledge from other people—even those whom we love and trust."
Vital temple preparation classes occur in our homes; important but secondary temple preparation classes also may be conducted periodically in our meetinghouses.
Making our homes sanctuaries wherein we can “stand in holy places”11 is essential in these latter days. And as important as home-centered and Church-supported learning is for our spiritual strength and protection today, it will be even more vital in the future.
“Perhaps for a little longer we cannot be physically in the temple, but is the temple in us? Are the covenants and ordinances in us?” Elder Bednar asked. “I think we have been compelled to reflect on, remember, and cherish temple covenants and ordinances in ways we may not have otherwise appreciated.”
