452: REMEMBERING THE COVENANT .... ONE YEAR LATER


Tomorrow is Labor Day. It is considered the unofficial end of summer in the United States. Fall begins and we enter into the Harvest Season.

This Labor Day also happens to be the one year anniversary of when the Covenant was given on September 03, 2017. The below video has been created to commemorate that event.

 

 "Wherefore, labor ye, labor ye in my vineyard for the last time—
for the last time call upon the inhabitants of the earth." 
D&C 43: 28
...

"Wherefore we labored diligently among our people, 
that we might persuade them to come  unto Christ, 
and partake of the goodness of God, that they might enter into his rest," 
Jacob 1:7
...

"The spirit of God is withdrawing from the world. Men are increasingly more angry without good cause. The hearts of men are waxing cold...

Language of scriptures gives a description of the events now underway and calls it the end of the times of the gentiles. This process with the spirit withdrawing, will end on this continent, as it did with two prior civilization in fratricidal and genocidal warfare. For the rest of the world, it will be as in the days of Noah in which, as that light becomes eclipsed, the coldness of men’s hearts is going to result in a constant scene of violence and bloodshed. The wicked will destroy the wicked.

The covenant, if it is kept, will prevent you from losing light and warmth of heart as the spirit now steadily recedes from the world. The time will come when you will be astonished at the gulf between the light and truth you will comprehend and the darkness of mind of the world.

Be charitable and patient and labor to reach others. They will judge you harshly, but nevertheless be kind to them. They are going to grow to fear you, but that’s only part of how darkness responds to light. Give them no reason to fear you. The time will come for us to gather, but between now and then, be leaven. Preserve the world. Be salt.

Preserve the world, even if it hates you"

 From the Closing remarks at the Covenant of Christ Conference on September 3, 2017

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for putting this together. Can't wait to use it to remind my children of the significance of what we have all entered into with the Lord. Truly, incredible piece of work you created for us to be reminded.

My gratitude as well. As the Book of Mormon teaches."Oh remember, remember my son". I appreciate your labors and feel the need to repent and indeed remember and then do.

Have shared this so many times now, and I use it myself as an anchor when I'm forgetting again, and want to remember the beauty and the joy and the solemnity of what I promised. And when I read the news and I begin to fear, I open this to hear again the promise of my Lord to me. I have it on my home screen so I can get to it easily throughout a tough day. Thankyou again for taking the time and doing the work to put this together for us. This thanksgiving I am sincerely thankful for you, and for your gift.
