  🎵 Music Reflection ✨ Amazing Grace Today I want to share one of the most beloved Christian songs ever written. 🎶 Amazing Grace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2arm5ydeJc Before reading any further, take a few minutes and listen. Then come back. 💧 🎹 A Personal Connection This particular arrangement of Amazing Grace touches my heart for a couple of reasons. First, it is simply beautiful music. But second, it was arranged by Matt Wilberg, who today is known throughout the world for his work with the Tabernacle Choir. Matt has always been special to me because he served as a missionary in Korea shortly after I did. Many years ago, I remember hearing stories about him and his extraordinary musical gifts. People would gather by the thousands to hear him play. He could sit down at a piano in a public place, and before long crowds would begin to form. Music has a way of doing that. It reaches places words sometimes cannot. Over the years, Matt has blessed millions of people through...

Did Jesus Take Our Punishment—or Show Us the Way Home? The Nemenhah Sacred Records, the Scapegoat, Personal Accountability, and the deeper meaning of At-one-ment There is a question I have been wrestling with lately. It is a big one. What exactly did Jesus Christ save us from—and what did His sacrifice make possible? Like many Christians, I grew up hearing words such as: Atonement. Sin. Sacrifice. Forgiveness. Savior. Repentance. I still believe deeply in Jesus Christ as my Savior. But as I have studied the Nemenhah Sacred Records, particularly the Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn , I have begun wondering whether I understood the word Atonement as completely as I thought I did. Maybe Christ's sacrifice is even bigger than simply: “I sinned. He took my punishment. Now my debt is paid.” Maybe He didn't come merely to change our account in heaven. Maybe He came to change us. The Scapegoat Question A recent discussion among some dear friends brought this right to the surface. ...

  📖 Building Upon the Restoration Discovery 11 🚶 The Temple Begins at Home The Four Pillars That Lead Us into the Presence of the Peacemaker "Truth does not compete with truth. It completes it." Listen to the NEW Narration:   The Temple Begins At Home   ❓A Discovery That Changed My Thinking For years I thought of the temple primarily as a place to go. Then I discovered something beautiful in the Nemenhah Sacred Records. The Holy House is not presented as the destination. It is presented as the place that prepares us to walk with the Peacemaker. That simple thought changed everything for me. 📖 The Bible David asked, "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?... He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart." (Psalm 24:3–4) Hebrews teaches that Jesus Christ has opened "a new and living way" into the presence of God. (Hebrews 10:19–22) The destination has always been the same: To know Him. 📖 The Book of Mormon Nephi taught us to ...

  🌅 The Story of Walker Lake When a Broken People Refused to Lose Hope Listen to the NEW Narration and Song:    The Story of Walker Lake Some places seem ordinary until you learn their story. Walker Lake is one of those places. Today many travelers pass by its quiet waters without realizing that, more than a century ago, hope began to spread from that lonely desert across much of Native America. The story is not really about a lake. Nor is it ultimately about one man. It is about a people who had almost every earthly reason to give up... and yet chose to believe that the Creator had not forgotten them. A Cry From the Desert The nineteenth century had been devastating for Native nations. Disease swept through villages. Ancient ways of life were shattered. Homelands disappeared. Treaties were broken. Families were scattered. Many wondered whether Heaven had turned away. Into that sorrow came a Paiute man known as Wovoka. After a profound spiritual experience, he called peo...

  The Zion Papers and the Missing Heart of Zion A Blueprint Needs More Than a Structure—It Needs a People Changed by Jesus Christ “And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.” — Moses 7:18 Recently, I discovered a collection called the Zion Papers , ( Explore the collection discussed here: Zion Papers ) written by a man who lives near St. George, Utah. The papers address many subjects I have wrestled with for years: agency, common consent, centralized control, money, tithing, consecration, stewardship, and the government and economy of Zion. As I began reading, I felt an immediate kinship with much of the work. I have independently come to many of the same conclusions. Zion cannot be built through compulsion. It cannot be administered into existence by a powerful hierarchy. It cannot rest upon the accumulation of money, land, authority, or institutional prestige. It must preserve a...

  🪶 The Four Ages of the Soul A Story About Growing Up, Growing Wise, and Coming Home A quick word before I share this. Some of you may not know who   Phillip “Cloudpiler” Landis   is. Cloudpiler was one of the principal translators associated with the   Nemenhah sacred records , first published in the early 2000s through a five-member translation council. This story— The Legend of Tohohyayloh Ahkehkt —comes from a vision or “medicine dream” attributed to him. Don’t let unfamiliar names throw you. You don’t have to know Native terms to feel what this story is saying. At heart, it is simple. It is a story about growing up. About how life teaches us in stages. As children we act before understanding. As youth we rush without reflection. As adults we begin seeking counsel. And as elders we finally learn surrender and Spirit. That’s what moved me. This isn’t really a story about eagles, mice, buffalo, and wolves. It’s a story about us. About the four ages of the soul. A...

  🏕️ Turn Your Tent Toward the Voice What King Benjamin Was Really Teaching There is a scene in the Book of Mormon I can’t get away from. Maybe because it feels less like history… and more like a pattern. King Benjamin gathers the people. Families come. Children come. Old and young come. And then this little detail: “And they pitched their tents round about the temple, every man having his tent with the door thereof towards the temple…” —   Book of Mormon I love that. They turned the opening of their homes toward the holy place. Toward the word. Toward God. Not away. Toward. 🌿   That may be the whole gospel in one picture. Your Heart Has a Tent Door We all have a tent door. Something our soul faces. Some people face fear. Some face status. Some face money. Some face distraction. Some face institutions. Some face themselves. But Benjamin was showing something else: Turn your life toward the Lord. Face Him. Open toward Him. Live facing Him. That is discipleship. That is r...
