The True Remnant

🌿 Who Do You Trust Anymore? The older I get, the more I find myself scratching my head. Everywhere you look, somebody is telling you what to believe. The government tells you what to believe. The news tells you what to believe. The churches tell you what to believe. The historians tell you what to believe. The internet tells you what to believe. Now even artificial intelligence is telling you what to believe. And the funny thing is, half of them disagree with the other half. A few days ago I listened to a video discussing church finances, tithing, Ensign Peak, hidden funds, and some of the history surrounding Lorenzo Snow's teachings on tithing. Some of it was difficult to hear. Some of it confirmed things I had already discovered. Some of it raised questions. And some of it reminded me of a lesson the Lord has been teaching me for many years. 🌿 The real issue isn't the money. The real issue isn't the history. The real issue isn't even the institution. The real issue ...

  🪶 What Is the Real Test of This Life? I’ve been thinking about something lately. Not in a big scholarly way. Just in a   sit-on-the-porch-and-think-about-it   kind of way. You hear people say all the time that   life is a test . And the scriptures say that too. In the   Book of Abraham   the Lord says we came to earth to be   proved . For years I thought that meant something complicated. Like we were supposed to come down here and perfectly follow a giant checklist of religious rules. But the older I get, the simpler it looks. I’m starting to think the real test is this: Will we learn to listen to the Savior’s voice? That’s it. 🌾 The Iron Rod In the   Book of Mormon   there’s the vision of the iron rod. Most of us grew up hearing that the iron rod is the   word of God . And that’s true. But the word of God isn’t just something printed on paper. The Savior is still speaking. Sometimes it’s just a quiet nudge inside your heart. Somethi...

  ⚖️ The Decision Wheel How Zion People Learn to Discern the Way 🪶 Out of all the wheels we worked through, this one may have surprised me the most. At first, I honestly thought the Decision Wheel would simply become another symbolic diagram. But the more we talked through it, the more practical it became. Because eventually I realized: Zion rises or falls through decisions. Daily decisions. Small decisions. Quiet decisions nobody else even sees. And honestly? Most of Babylon is built one bad decision at a time. Usually rushed. Usually fear-based. Usually ego-driven. Usually disconnected from stewardship, peace, and long-term consequences. The Nemenhah records repeatedly point toward something very different. Not domination. Discernment. 🌿 One thing that deeply stands out in the records is how often people are warned about imbalance. Pride. Greed. Control. Fear. Forgetting future generations. Ignoring the poor. Using authority incorrectly. Seeking power instead of harmony. Again ...

🎥 Video 86 — Hearing the Savior 🕊️   He Was Closer Than I Thought 📺 Companion Video: (Video 86 — Hearing the Savior) Something changed in me… but not the way I expected. For most of my life, I thought hearing the Savior was something big. You know… a voice, a moment, something unmistakable. Something you could point to and say: “That was Him.” And because I didn’t have that… I kind of assumed I wasn’t hearing Him. But looking back now… I can see I was wrong. 🌙   A Quiet Night I Didn’t Understand I remember waking up one night. No reason. Just wide awake. And there was this feeling… not fear… just a quiet nudge. And a name came into my mind. Someone I hadn’t thought about in a long time. I almost rolled over and went back to sleep. But it stayed. So I said something simple: “Alright, Lord… if that’s you, I’ll reach out in the morning.” Next day, I did. Nothing fancy. Just a simple message. And come to find out… that person was going through something right then. Now I didn’...

  When Families Fight — Walking With the Peacemaker 🕊️ The last little while I’ve been thinking about families. Good families. Families that love each other… but sometimes still end up fighting. It happens more often than we like to admit. Sometimes it’s about money. Sometimes it’s about misunderstandings. Sometimes it’s about something that happened years ago that nobody ever quite worked through. And before long, people who love each other start defending their position instead of defending their relationship. I’ve been watching this happen in my own life recently, and it made me stop and think about something very simple. What would the Peacemaker do? The Peacemaker Walked Into Contention 🕊️ When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t walk into peaceful situations. He walked into arguments. Pharisees arguing with Sadducees. Disciples arguing about who was greatest. Families divided. Crowds shouting. And yet His message was always the same. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they s...
