The True Remnant

  🪶 Seeking God Directly — A Scriptural Pattern (With Citations) Across all records, a consistent doctrine appears: God reveals truth directly to those who seek Him. This is not symbolic language. It is a   repeatable pattern . 🧭 Foundational Instruction 📖 Bible In   Epistle of James   1:5: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” This instruction is: individual direct unconditional There is no intermediary required. 📖 Book of Mormon — Direct Revelation Pattern Nephi Receives His Own Witness First Book of Nephi   2:16: “And I, Nephi… did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me, and did soften my heart…” Nephi did not rely on Lehi’s experience. 👉 He sought and received his own. First Book of Nephi   10:17: “And I… was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things… by the power of the Holy Ghost…” First Book of Nephi   11:1: “For it ca...

  He Met Me There "And He met me there... not in the noise... not in the crowd... but in the quiet place." Listen to the NEW Song of Zion:     He Met Me There There are moments in life that divide our story into two parts. Before... And... After. For me, one of those moments came when life suddenly slowed down. I had always been moving. There was another project to finish. Another place to go. Another schedule to keep. Like so many people, I thought being busy meant I was living well. Then life interrupted my plans. Spinal surgery. Months of recovery. Questions I couldn't answer. Long nights when sleep didn't come easily. The uncertainty of wondering what the future would look like. If someone had asked me years earlier whether I wanted to walk that road, I would have said no without hesitation. Yet today, looking back, I would never trade what I found there. Because the greatest healing wasn't only in my back. It was in my heart. There is something about weakness...

  🪶 When Prophets Leave the System Corianton, Alma, Moroni, and Samuel the Lamanite There’s a pattern in scripture that I never really saw before… Not until I slowed down and just read it without assumptions. 👉 Some of the most important people in the Book of Mormon didn’t stay inside the system. They stepped outside of it. And when I started reading the Nemenhah Records… that pattern didn’t go away. 👉 It actually became clearer. 📖 1. Corianton & Isabel — A Story Most People Miss Most people know this part: 👉 Corianton “went after the harlot Isabel” 📘 Book of Mormon “Thou didst go on unto boasting… and didst forsake the ministry, and did go over into the land of Siron among the borders of the Lamanites, after the harlot Isabel.” — Alma 39:3 And that’s usually where we stop. But Alma doesn’t treat this like a lost cause. 👉 He goes after his son. 📘 What Alma Does Next Alma leaves the judgment seat earlier (Alma 4:15) so he can   go preach and reclaim people personall...

🏔️ Pioneer Day Reflection 🎵 Come, Come, Ye Saints Today is July 24th. For many people in the Mountain West, it is Pioneer Day. A day to remember sacrifice. A day to remember courage. A day to remember people who left everything behind in search of a better future. And today I want to share one of the most beloved songs of the Restoration. 🎶 Come, Come, Ye Saints Come Come Ye Saints arranged by Matt Wilberg Before reading further, take a few minutes and listen. Then come back. 💧 A Song Born on the Trail This hymn was written by William Clayton in 1846. At the time, the Saints were leaving Nauvoo. Many had lost homes. Many had lost family members. Many had lost nearly everything they owned. The future was uncertain. Yet from those difficult circumstances came one of the most hopeful songs ever written. "All is well." Imagine having the faith to sing those words while crossing the plains. History Is Complicated Today there is much discussion surrounding William Clayton and h...

  🪶 HOW DO WE TRULY HONOR THE PIONEERS? A July 24th Reflection 🌅 A Day That Means Something July 24th… means something to a lot of people. It’s not just a date. It’s: sacrifice faith families crossing plains people giving everything they had Men, women, and children… walking into the unknown believing God was leading them. That kind of faith… 👉 deserves to be honored. And I honor it. 🪶 THEY GAVE EVERYTHING THEY HAD Whatever else can be said about history… this part is true: 👉   The pioneers gave everything. Their homes Their comfort Their safety Sometimes even their lives They didn’t do it halfway. They believed they were following God. And that matters. 🧭 BUT HERE’S A QUESTION I HAD TO ASK As I’ve gotten older… and as I’ve walked more personally with Christ… a question has come to me. Not a harsh one. A real one. 👉   How do we truly honor them? Is it: just remembering them? just celebrating the journey? just repeating what they did? Or is it something more? 📖 WHA...

  The Pure in Heart "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Listen to the NEW Song of Zion:   The Pure in Heart What does it really mean to be pure in heart ? For years, I suppose I thought it meant never making mistakes. Always having the right answers. Being spiritually strong enough that temptation no longer mattered. But the older I become, the more I think I misunderstood those words. The Savior never said, "Blessed are the perfect." He said, "Blessed are the pure in heart." There is a difference. Purity is not the absence of weakness. It is the presence of a heart that honestly desires God. The scriptures are filled with ordinary people who were far from perfect. Peter denied the Lord. Alma rebelled against the Church. Paul persecuted the Saints. The sons of Mosiah fought against the truth before becoming devoted servants of Christ. Even King Benjamin reminded his people that they would always remain dependent upon the merits and mer...

  🪶   WHAT THE NEMENHAH RECORDS TAUGHT ME A Follow-Up — Seeing Zion, Seeing Christ, Seeing Differently 🌅 A Quiet Follow-Up After writing my last post… I realized something. I had shared   where my walk led me — but I didn’t share   what helped me see it more clearly. This isn’t a correction. It’s just… the next step. 🪶 HOW I CAME ACROSS THESE RECORDS Somewhere along the way… I came across something I didn’t expect. 👉   The Nemenhah Records. I didn’t accept them right away. Not even close. I’ve learned to test everything the same way: 👉   Does it bring me closer to Christ? 👉   Does it invite me to actually know Him? That’s the test. Not popularity. Not tradition. 👉   What does it produce? 🧭 WHAT SURPRISED ME What surprised me wasn’t just the content… It was the   familiarity. It felt like something I had already read… 👉 but   expanded. Not replacing the Book of Mormon… 👉 but opening it up. Like turning a light on in a room I alr...
