"Who Among Us"

The issue, I think, is not what we should do but how we should do it; and I maintain that the most beneficial and productive thing which Latter-day Saints can do to strengthen every good and proper cause is to live and teach the principles of the everlasting gospel. Bruce R. McConkie 1973

 

“… Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? (Isa. 33:14.)

That is, who in the Church shall gain an inheritance in the celestial kingdom? Who will go where God and Christ and holy beings are? Who will overcome the world, work the works of righteousness, and enduring in faith and devotion to the end hear the blessed benediction, “Come, and inherit the kingdom of my Father.”

Isaiah answers:

“He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high. …” (Isa. 33:15–16.)

 

“Who Among Us…”

Willing to go where others shy away

speaking truth and understanding

leaping into the refiners fire daily

without hesitation speaking up

in a quiet voice for all to hear

what is required to become

as we each are tested

till knowing literally all

the Father has tasked

returning to the basics

to become what is required

hearing the still quiet voice

speaking up against the evil

seeking out the refiners fire now

understanding and truth speaking

willing to go where others shy away!
