“Do
the Right Thing for the Right Reason, at the Right Time and in the Right Place”
(Personal
Thoughts)
cji

Over
the past some 30 years I’ve sent out various talks by the General Authorities
as either Home Teaching/Visiting Teaching or Ministering messages. Going to
alter that today – with understandings I’ve gained over the years. It will not
be politically correct nor pleasing the ears of some. Like Laban and Lemuel,
we’ve to hear some hard things for some and quite easy for others. It will
ramble as my stream of thought isn’t quite where it used to be.
What
is the right reason, time or place! It’s where we should be found always in
obedience with the will of the Father and the Son. To do this we’ve been
instructed – Love the Father – and the Son – meaning to keep all of their
Commandments. We’re to love ourselves and our neighbors as ourselves. We’re to
be found as James 1:27 and multiple other scriptures such as Isaiah.
Why
bring this up – because the world is a wicked place – currently the complete
elected officials of the Democratic Party stand united in not believing in God
– the Constitution – the Presidency – our Freedoms – and tell us this daily.
Believe me the other political parties aren’t much better. Why this in a
ministering message – because too many of us with the world – confused and
upset with what is going on – and the only way it will change if we change
ourselves out of this secular world.
As
of last year there were over 16 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints – worldwide. This is important as only an active member of
the Church can hold a Temple Recommend and only a Temple Recommend can get you
into the Celestial Kingdom to live again with our Father and Son and our
eternal families. The family is the only unit (includes all singles) which is
spoken of beyond the veil. Of the 16 million members a very crude guess would
less than half (living in the US) and less than half (living outside the US) in
inactivity of one kind or another. We’re to remember there are more members of
the Church outside the US than within.
If
over half are inactive, they do not have a Temple Recommend. For whatever
reason – tithing, word of wisdom, Chasity, having been offended, outside
activities on the Sabbath Day – it doesn’t matter. Thus, they are doing the
Right Things for the right reasons. However, 99% of the world’s population
could care less what’s being discussed being confused and misled over 1900
years of lies and rhetoric from the various clergy. Not that everyone doesn’t
have a little truth and some much good – but it’s not good enough.
The
Father and the Son live eternal laws – never changing – and they are hard and
fast – no wavers or excuses. If I could I would have everyone read Isaiah, Paul
and James – aloud – personalizing to themselves – no excuses!
The
only requirement to be in full activity is to repent – fully of whatever it is
we’re in error of. For those who are not members think of the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ –
‘his kingdom come’ – in order for him to come to his kingdom it has to be
already here for – which it is – it was restored in the early 1800’s and is
blessed with a Prophet and Apostles called by God. Any minister or other church
leader who is not called in this way has only worldly authority and none else.
They cannot seal either here or in the heavens only marry till death do you
part.
Read
Malachi the only purpose for this earth is to bring fathers to the sons
(mothers/sisters) eternal families. If this is not accomplished then the whole
of mortality is wasted. Satan is working overtime (see reference above to
political leaders) to destroy the family, religion, God, freedom, virtue and so
on. He’s got a leg up over 63 million people voted for one of the most wicked
persons in the 2000’s (and 1990’s) – hoping for the free lunch. Which is all
they continue to offer without any way of providing such.
So
we come back to it – the right thing at the right time, place and reason. Be
obedient – fully – if you can’t be willingly force yourself to – and then it’ll
be easier to do it willingly. Why? Your eternal life depends on it – read the
Scriptures – literally. If this isn’t important to you – then it is upon deaf
ears – blinded eyes and you’ve lost the feelings you once had.
Long
ago someone asked if you could one thing on this world today – what would it
be? The answer was a living Prophet to lead and guide us. Well you and I have
one called of God – to lead us.
For
those who’ve tolerated the above and are doing all you can to be obedient –
active and holding a Temple Recommend in the day of my passing I hope to be
counted with you and praise you for enduring in such a wicked place as this
world is found today.
I
leave this in the name of Jesus Christ – amen c/ork
“The East Wind is
Blowing”

Darkened skies overhead
tree limbs falling hard
homes tumbling burning
havoc abroad screaming
the east wind is
blowing
no reason, no place, no
time
no more the right thing
while yet to the west
we see the light of
hope
can we repent and find
our way to the light
doing the right thing
for the right reason
at the right time
and in the right place?

“When reading the Scriptures – always begin by saying this
is written to (names of those present) – or if reading Scriptures as a family,
couple, individually – begin with saying your family name or individual name.
This will make them personal and far more meaningful.
Omit whoever the writer is writing to as we know none of them –
therefore they are impersonal.” cji 9/22/19
