✨ Those Who Walk With Jesus —   ✨
“To Keep the Rocks From Crying Out!”

📝 Their Message (Summary)
Sometimes words aren’t enough. That’s what this post captures. The writer admits—“I sit here trying to type something epic about Him, but I’ve been staring out the window too long now. I can’t put it into words.” So instead, they share a song, a declaration of worship, where every lyric points upward:

  • Captivating… You enraptured me.

  • Illuminating… You brighten up my soul.

  • Overwhelming… I’m in awe of You.

  • Never ending, You are remarkable.

The theme is simple but fierce: if we don’t cry out, the rocks themselves will (Luke 19:40). Creation is groaning for its Maker. Heaven and earth ache to break into song. And so, the only fitting response is to sing, shout, and dance in honor of the King.

The post ends with a quote from Oswald Chambers:

“Discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to a Person—our Lord Jesus Christ. There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause—He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.”

This brings it home: Christianity isn’t about signing up for a movement or defending an institution. It’s about Him.

🔥 My Reflection
This one feels like worship spilling over. Not a treatise. Not an argument. Just love too big to keep inside. The rocks themselves are on standby to praise Him if we don’t—and that thought should shake us awake.

There’s something raw and real about admitting, “I don’t have the words.” Sometimes silence, tears, or a song blasting at full volume is the truest prayer we can offer.

And maybe that’s the point. If discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to Jesus Himself, then singing until your lungs give out is as valid a sermon as any essay or lecture.

🕊️ The Invitation

  • Turn up the volume. Lift your hands. Dance. Don’t let the rocks outpraise you.

  • Don’t substitute a cause for Christ. Causes will fade. Only He remains.

  • Let worship be the place where devotion becomes delight.

📖 Scriptures to Ponder

  • “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” — Luke 19:40

  • “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” — Psalm 150:6

  • “Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.” — Psalm 96:1

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.

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...
