Do you believe in the sanctity of life? This is easy to believe in for infants and children who are in a state of innocence. What about adults who have issues and character flaws? This is a more severe test of your commitment to this principle. The sanctity of life is based on the creature being made in the image of the creator. This is still true even if the creature is fallen in sin. It is not based on the life being worthy, but is an intrinsic value. Do you see your fellow men and women as made in my image whether they believe or not? This gives you the same perspective I have, and an appreciation for the magnitude of the great commission.

I quiet myself. I sing in the Spirit: “Here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that You’re my God. You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.”  I speak in tongues, building up my Spirit. I feel my Spirit coming “forward”.

Have you heard it taught that Christians should not be involved in politics? This restriction is not in the Bible, but it is often stated by those who oppose the Christian world view. Yet political involvement is a test of character because it is a field that lends itself to strife and acrimonious debate. The polarized camps make stereotyped caricatures of and mock and curse the other side. How do you represent my values without descending into such behavior? You are called to let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify me. If you display grace and maturity in the political realm it will indeed be a light in the darkness.

My word says my sheep know my voice. I can speak to anyone I wish, and I do. Who would be able to approach me for salvation if I did not call? Many who hear are unaware that I am the one bringing favorable thoughts to their minds, but my own people should recognize my voice when I speak to them. You are generally free to share the things I tell you, but it is important to do this in grace and humility. If you claim to speak for me then you should expect others to judge your words according to their own conscience and their understanding of my nature revealed in scripture, just as you do when someone else speaks in my name.

Do you think of friends as being equals? I have called you my friend, but we are not equals. Yet have you not been in a friendship with someone else in which one brings more to the relationship in resources or maturity or some other significant way? You are still friends but you are mindful of the difference between you. Doesn’t the lesser usually seek out the greater, expecting a greater benefit? If the greater one is gracious he will not emphasize their difference in status. Do I ever remind you of how much greater I am? And it was I who sought your company, and made it possible, and am pleased to acknowledge you as my friend.

Jesus, I just read the book of prophet Joel. The big message that I got is for the great need for your people to humble themselves before you, to repent as needed, so that you can bless them. Add to this is how horrendous

Blessed Holy Lord God, Savior, Master Planner, some "believers" are questioning if they can vote for a "Mormon" for President. What do You say about this?

Do you have seemingly impossible questions that you ponder? Bring them to me. Search the scriptures and see that I handle difficult questions well. Yet I do not promise to resolve for you questions that theologians have wrestled with for centuries. Yet even if I don’t give you a definite answer I can still bring you to a state of peace with regard to the question. Now you see in a glass darkly but you will see me face to face. One day you will see me as I am and you will ask me no questions, for you will know as you are known. Until then I ask you to trust me, with patience regarding things not yet revealed, knowing that I am in control of them.
