I suspect very few see the sifting and the metrics the Lord is employing to divide the sheep from the goats. It would seem that the primary metric being applied to the church came down from Mt. Sinai so very long ago. It could be written today to read something like this:<br /><br />"I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of New York, Kirtland, Jackson County, and Nauvoo, out of the house of bondage.<br /><br />Thou shalt have no other gods before me as you have hitherto done; including any man or men who claim to speak for me; thou shalt not follow after them, believing they cannot err or ever lead you astray, without seeking confirmation from me and by my Spirit; <br /><br />Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; nor shalt thou continue to build up unto yourselves multi-billion dollar for-profit businesses and shopping malls from the tithes of My people, whilst neglecting the poor and the needy, the widows and fatherless among you: for I know your doings, and the councils that you seek deep to hide from me; how not even one one-hundredth of the tithes of my people have you consecrated for the poor, for you love your businesses, your holdings, your positions and pensions; yea, even your chapels and temples do you love more than you love the poor; more than you love me: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. For it has been four generations since I took Joseph and Hyrum out of your midst and visited you my Gentile church with wrath, pestilence, plague and silence; Yet now I call unto you again, shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.<br /><br />Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain as thou doest every fast and testimony meeting and in every General Conference, using my name without authority and without knowledge; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."<br /><br />The Lord would be much more eloquent.<br /><br />Sad. Very sad indeed. Barerecord, thank you for your acts of service, and devotion on this blog. You write in plain humility and truth.BeStill&Knownoreply@blogger.com
