Christian State or Zion State? (Idaho, Spuds, and the Peacemaker’s Politics)

🕊️ Christian State or Zion State? (Idaho, Spuds, and the Peacemaker’s Politics)

I’ll be honest—this one hits close to home.

I’m from Idaho.
Spud country. Good folks, hardworking, and a lot of them love Jesus with all their hearts.

But now? Some Idaho politicians want to make the whole state officially Christian.
Sounds noble, right? Until you read the fine print…

📣 What’s Really Going On in Idaho

Here’s the plan, boiled down like a pot of russets:

  • Ten Commandments in every classroom (big plaques, just in case kids can’t find Exodus).

  • Daily Bible readings at school (though whose Bible is still up for debate).

  • Christian chaplains acting as school counselors.

Oh—and the long-term goal? Write it into state law that only Christians can hold office.

Now here’s the kicker: Mormons (oh, excuse me—Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) aren’t Christian enough to qualify.

So congratulations, Idaho—you just invented the world’s first “Christian” state that Jesus might not even be allowed to run for governor in.

😂 The Exclusive Club Nobody Asked For

This isn’t new. Humans love to sort each other out like bad potatoes.

The Jews did it to the Samaritans.
The Pharisees did it to Jesus.
And now a bunch of Bible-belters in Boise are doing it to the Mormons (oh, excuse me—Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

Meanwhile, Christ?
He’s still eating dinner with the outcasts, walking with the humble, and whispering to anyone who will listen—
even if they spell His name wrong or meet in the “wrong” church on Sunday.

🏛️ Zion Can’t Be Legislated

You can pass all the Bible bills you want, but that doesn’t make you Zion.

The Nemenhah said it best:

“There shall be a small flock who shall hearken unto His voice. Yea, He shall be in their midst, even though they are few in number.” (Mohrhohnahyah)

That’s the only “Christian State” the Peacemaker recognizes.
No voting. No plaques. Just soft hearts that hear Him.

🔥 The Only Real Christian State

Want a Christian state?

  • Start by letting the Lord govern you.

  • Forget the big show—ask Him if you should help your neighbor shovel snow or forgive that family member who drives you nuts.

  • Build Zion in your own heart first.

The Peacemaker isn’t running for office.
He’s knocking at your door.
And when He shows up, He won’t care which church you belong to—
He’ll ask one thing:

“Did you listen when I called?”

👂 Final Thought

If this whole Idaho thing ever works out, I’ve got a hunch:
The Savior will probably show up first to the very people they’re leaving out—
just like He always has.

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

-
INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
