Handbook of the Restoration, 596 “A Warning
To the unchaste who marry there is ahead either a life of distrust, lack of confidence, unhappiness, leading to the divorce court, or a life of promiscuous sexual relationship that ends in misery, disease and shame. Debauchery never gave birth to good of any kind.
Chastity is fundamental to our life and to our civilization. If the race becomes unchaste, it will perish. Immorality has been basic to the destruction of mighty nations in the past. It will bring to dust the mighty nations of the present.” — J. Reuben Clark
Proverbs 19:9 “A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall perish.”
How sad for the LDS people who had to listen to this man’s lies!
If what he said is truth, why do they believe in Jesus who came to save us, and make us new creatures in Him? 2 Corinthians 5:17
What about Mary Magdalene?
As we mentioned in our witnessing tip today, the mantra of this church is shaming others into obedience. This isn’t the gospel of Jesus, rather, it’s the message of the evil one.
Years ago the Lord reminded me of what His truth produces –
Guilt and Shame are Never the Same
Guilt and God both begin with ‘g’. When we repent the Lord forgives us of our guilt, and He remembers it no more. Isaiah 43:25
Shame and Satan both begin with ‘s’. Shame takes place when we keep reminding ourselves of past sins God can/will forgive when we repent. It’s death to your soul beloved! Refuse the lies, and walk freely in Christ!
Christians have bad days, yes. However, by and large, life as a Christian is joyful and peaceful knowing Who made it possible!
Reject messages like Mr. Clark’s by kicking it to the curb!
With Love in Christ;
Michelle
