In this special bonus episode of My Favorite Mistake, Mark Graban sits down with Senator Stephanie Pitcher, a criminal defense attorney (at Parker & McConkie in Utah) and Utah state senator, to discuss a modern campaign tactic that's frustrating voters nationwide: political text messages. Senator Pitcher provides an insider's view on why candidates rely on these texts to build name recognition, the rules governing them, and how campaigns respond (or sometimes don't) to requests to “STOP.” Mark and Stephanie dive into questions many of us have wondered: Is anyone really reading our responses to campaign texts? Are these messages effective, or do they risk driving away potential voters? Senator Pitcher shares her personal experiences with both sending and receiving political texts, the realities of balancing voter outreach with respect for privacy, and the challenge of navigating the fine line between visibility and annoyance. For those curious about how campaign data is shared and why unsubscribing doesn't always work as intended, Stephanie explains the often complex web of candidate PACs, third-party vendors, and data-sharing that keeps these messages coming. She also discusses her plans to explore more sophisticated social media advertising, leaving listeners with a thought-provoking view on the future of campaign outreach. Tune in to hear a behind-the-scenes look at campaign messaging from a seasoned state senator's perspective!

Forty-six years ago this month, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, under then-President Spencer W. Kimball, lifted its prohibition preventing Black men from entering the all-male priesthood and Black women and men from participating in temple rites. This historic shift, the most significant since the faith stopped practicing polygamy, abruptly ended this racist ban, but it hardly ended racism within the church. After all, 126 years of theological justifications for the ban remained, including influential works such as “Mormon Doctrine” by apostle Bruce R. McConkie. Cleanup still needed — and needs — to be done. Building on President Gordon B. Hinckley's outreach efforts, current church leader Russell M. Nelson has called on members to lead out against racism and has cemented ties with the NAACP. Matthew Harris' new book, “Second-Class Saints: Black Mormons and the Struggle for Racial Equality,” explores the history of the priesthood/temple ban, from its racist roots under Brigham Young to its removal and its aftermath, with an eye especially on its effects on Black Latter-day Saints. With unprecedented access to the papers of Kimball, McConkie, Hugh B. Brown and Joseph Fielding Smith, Harris offers an insider view of the decision-making process among the church hierarchy regarding issues of race and this momentous move. Join us for this conversation.

Convidada de hoje: Jac Pozza do instagram "Nutrida pela Boa Palavra"" A citação que Carol traduziu do Livro de David Ridges é a seguinte: "Essas coisas" no versículo 30, acima, referem-se ao versículo 27. Na verdade, você pode querer desenhar uma seta de "essas coisas" referindo ao versículo 27 em suas próprias escrituras.Uma pergunta comum que surge nas aulas é: "Será necessário praticar o casamento plural se eu atingir a exaltação?" A resposta é "Não". Bruce R. McConkie dá a resposta da seguinte forma (adicionado em negrito para apontar a resposta):"A partir de registros bíblicos fragmentados que estão agora disponíveis, aprendemos que o Senhor ordenou que alguns de seus antigos santos praticassem o casamento plural. Abraão, Isaac e Jacó - entre outros (D&C 132) - se conformaram a esse princípio enobrecedor e exaltador; toda a história da antiga Israel foi aquela em que a pluralidade de esposas era uma ordem de matrimônio divinamente aceita e aprovada. Aqueles que entraram nesta ordem sob o comando do Senhor, e que mantiveram as leis e condições pertencentes a ela, ganharam para si mesmos a exaltação eterna no céu mais alto do mundo celestial."Nos primeiros dias desta dispensação, como parte da prometida restituição de todas as coisas, o Senhor revelou o princípio do casamento plural com o Profeta. Mais tarde, o Profeta e os principais irmãos foram ordenados a entrar na prática, o que fizeram com toda a virtude e pureza de coração, apesar da consequente animosidade e preconceitos das pessoas mundanas. Depois que Brigham Young levou os santos ao Salt Lake Valley, o casamento plural foi abertamente ensinado e praticado até o ano de 1890. Naquela época, as condições eram tais que o Senhor, por revelação, retirou o comando para continuar a prática, e o presidente Wilford Woodruff emitiu o Manifesto orientando que ele cessasse (Woodruff, Discursos de Wilford Woodruff, pp. 213-18)."Obviamente, a prática sagrada começará novamente após a Segunda Vinda do Filho do Homem e a inunção do Milênio (Isaías 4)."O casamento plural não é essencial para a salvação ou exaltação. Néfi e seu povo foram negados o poder de ter mais de uma esposa e, no entanto, eles poderiam ganhar cada Bênção na eternidade que o Senhor já ofereceu a qualquer povo. Em nossos dias, o Senhor resumiu por revelação toda a doutrina da exaltação e a baseou no casamento de um homem com uma mulher (D&C 132:1-28) Depois disso, ele acrescentou os princípios relativos à pluralidade de esposas com a estipulação expressa de que tais casamentos seriam válidos apenas se autorizados pelo Presidente da Igreja (D&C 132:7, 29-66).“Todos os que fingem ou assumem se envolver em casamento plural neste dia, quando aquele que segura as chaves retirou o poder pelo qual são executados, são culpados de maldade grosseira" (McConkie, Doutrina Mórmon, 578).

In today's part III of Valerie's series with Greg Prince they delve into an era that Greg claims we should all better understand as we navigate our 21st century LDS faith. This episode casts a spotlight on the leadership of David O. McKay, with a special focus on his complex relationship to the eventual lifting of the temple/priesthood ban, his handling of Ezra Taft Benson's anti-communist obsession, and his questionable handling of McConkie's infamous "Mormon Doctrine" This conversation illustrate the intricate interplay between policy, revelation, and societal readiness that shaped church decisions during McKay's presidency. Valerie and Greg also navigate through challenging themes, such as the potential for power to corrupt, the church's structural comparisons to a corporation, and the high expectations placed upon church leaders. The discussion also delves into the personal impact of church policies on its members and the importance of actively owning one's faith. FRIDAY'S episode is a seamless continuation of this conversation with a special focus on some scientific findings (researched by himself and Lester Bush) around leadership vulnerabilities of any kind of formalized genontracry.

Some thoughts on Season 1, a study of Spiritual Momentum.Now is the time we can learn.Now is the time we can turn again to Christ.Now is the time we can bless others and lift up the hands that hang down.Harnessing Spirituality.Is this what momentum looks like?Maybe there are some things that need untangling.  Maybe you are trying to navigate the wind.  Perhaps you have forgotten what momentum feels like.  That's what I love most about the Inklings Community.  The remembering.  The encouraging.  Every day better.  A hint of something more.  Around here we call it sprinkles.  Just a little bit of sweetness every day. I'm looking forward to this next six months.  A study on spiritual momentum, with a focus on how we spend our time each day. I'm so excited to spend Thursday mornings with you! There are so many good things ahead!

One of the most influential leaders of the modern Mormon church, Bruce R. McConkie, made a name for himself with his seminal 1958 work Mormon Doctrine, an encyclopedia of Mormon doctrine and theology. It immediately made waves in the community and the rest of the leadership decided to censor McConkie and the book was pulled from the shelves. With significant edits to address leadership complaints, the book was republished in 1966 and again massively edited and published in 1979 after the priesthood ban was lifted. We explore the life of Bruce McConkie and discuss the impact of Mormon Doctrine and McConkie, as well as the reasons for censure and highlighting necessary edits to tone the book down. Yes, this is the deep-dive on Bruce McConkie and Mormon Doctrine you've been waiting for and this episode launches us into our next long-form book review of Millennial Messiah by Bruce McConkie!   Mark your calendars!

Today we talk a little bit about the cheap salvation that satan tried to offer us. His offer of salvation was worth exactly what he was willing to pay for it. Contrast that to the Savior, who was willing to pay the ultimate price for our salvation and because of the price He was willing to pay, He was able to offer us enduring Salvation.

All rights reserved. "I rejoice in the privilege of presenting to the young and rising generation some basic concepts about the deepest and most profound doctrine of the gospel. It is the first principle of revealed religion, the great cornerstone upon which all else rests, the foundation for all of the doctrines of salvation. I shall speak of what the revealed word calls the mystery of godliness. If our vision is blurred where this doctrine and these concepts are concerned, or, if knowingly or unknowingly we have fallen prey to any of the false sectarian notions that abound with reference to them, our progress toward eternal life will be slow indeed. Comprehending the Mystery of Godliness A mystery, so the dictionary says, is “something beyond human comprehension.” Defining the word from a theological standpoint, it says a mystery is “an article of faith beyond human comprehension, as the doctrine of the Trinity.” How apt this illustration is! If there was ever something beyond human comprehension, it is the sectarian doctrine of the Trinity. This doctrine defines God and the Godhead as a three-in-one spirit essence that fills the immensity of space; it teaches that it and they are without body, parts, or passions; it acclaims that it and they are unknown, unknowable, and uncreated, and specifies, in the creeds, that unless we believe all these things we cannot be saved. It is true that finite man cannot comprehend his Infinite Maker in the full sense of the word. We cannot tell how gods began to be or from whence existent matter came. But we are duty-bound to learn all that God has revealed about himself and his everlasting gospel. If we are to gain eternal life we must come to know the Great God and his Only Begotten, whom he sent into the world. And this probationary estate is the appointed time to begin to know God, and to learn his laws, and thereby to start the process of becoming like him. If we do not so begin we shall never receive the promised reward. Because God stands revealed or remains forever unknown, and because the things of God are known only by the power of the Spirit, perhaps we should redefine a mystery. In the gospel sense, a mystery is something beyond carnal comprehension. The saints are in a position to comprehend all mysteries, to understand all doctrine, and eventually to know all things. These high levels of intelligence are reached only through faith and obedience and righteousness. A person who relies on the intellect alone and who does not keep the commandments can never, worlds without end, comprehend the mystery of godliness. There is probably more ignorance and confusion as to the mystery of godliness than there is about any other doctrine. As set forth in the three creeds of Christendom—the Nicene, the Apostles', and the Athanasian, which God himself said were an abomination in his sight—and as defined in the articles of religion of the various denominations, this doctrine is a mass of confusion and a mountain of falsity. Even in the Church, thanks to a lack of knowledge and to intellectuality and the worldly enticement to conform to the general beliefs of an apostate Christendom, there are those who have fallen prey to many false delusions about deity. By way of illustration let us note some of the problems. Who and What Is God? Is there a God? If so, who or what is he? Is he the laws and forces of nature? Or an image of mud or gold? Or is he Baal, the resurrected son of El to whom the Canaanites offered human sacrifices? Is he Allah or Buddha or the confusing and contradictory nothingness described in the creeds of Christendom? Is there such a thing as the Trinity in which the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three gods, and, yet one god, a god who neither hears, nor speaks, nor appears, as did the one worshipped by the ancients? Is God omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, or are these descriptive designations part of the legends of sectarianism? Are there three gods or one? Why does Jesus say his Father is greater than he, and Paul say Jesus is equal with the Father? Why the great scriptural emphasis on proclaiming that three gods are one, and that the Lord our God is one Lord?   Zach Williams, Dolly Parton - There Was Jesus (Official Music Video) https://youtu.be/37wV6D49iEY 28,810,460 views Apr 23, 2020 Zach Williams 828K subscribers Watch the official music video for “There Was Jesus” with Dolly Parton now.

Comprehending the Mystery of Godliness. Bruce R. McConkie. ACU Sunday Series. The Mystery of Godliness | Bruce R McConkie | 1985 https://youtu.be/EpXzTR-qNB0 157,736 views Jun 12, 2020 BYU Speeches 112K subscribers To us mortals, the infinite wisdom and power of God may always be, in part, a mystery. However, there are many things about His nature that we can know. This speech was given on January 6, 1985. Read the speech here: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/bruce-... Read more about Bruce R.

All rights reserved. "I rejoice in the privilege of presenting to the young and rising generation some basic concepts about the deepest and most profound doctrine of the gospel. It is the first principle of revealed religion, the great cornerstone upon which all else rests, the foundation for all of the doctrines of salvation. I shall speak of what the revealed word calls the mystery of godliness. If our vision is blurred where this doctrine and these concepts are concerned, or, if knowingly or unknowingly we have fallen prey to any of the false sectarian notions that abound with reference to them, our progress toward eternal life will be slow indeed. Comprehending the Mystery of Godliness A mystery, so the dictionary says, is “something beyond human comprehension.” Defining the word from a theological standpoint, it says a mystery is “an article of faith beyond human comprehension, as the doctrine of the Trinity.” How apt this illustration is! If there was ever something beyond human comprehension, it is the sectarian doctrine of the Trinity. This doctrine defines God and the Godhead as a three-in-one spirit essence that fills the immensity of space; it teaches that it and they are without body, parts, or passions; it acclaims that it and they are unknown, unknowable, and uncreated, and specifies, in the creeds, that unless we believe all these things we cannot be saved. It is true that finite man cannot comprehend his Infinite Maker in the full sense of the word. We cannot tell how gods began to be or from whence existent matter came. But we are duty-bound to learn all that God has revealed about himself and his everlasting gospel. If we are to gain eternal life we must come to know the Great God and his Only Begotten, whom he sent into the world. And this probationary estate is the appointed time to begin to know God, and to learn his laws, and thereby to start the process of becoming like him. If we do not so begin we shall never receive the promised reward. Because God stands revealed or remains forever unknown, and because the things of God are known only by the power of the Spirit, perhaps we should redefine a mystery.

Đệ Nhất Cố Vấn trong Chủ Tịch Đoàn Trung Ương Trường Chúa Nhật (vào tháng 10 năm 2010) Điều quan trọng nhất là thái độ và tinh thần mà qua đó người giảng viên giảng dạy. Là thành viên trong chủ tịch đoàn Trường Chúa Nhật trung ương, tôi cảm thấy cần phải bắt đầu […] The post Podcast số 53 – Đại Hội Trung Ương tháng 10, 2010 – Học Hỏi và Giảng Dạy Phúc Âm – David M. McConkie appeared first on Thánh Hữu Việt Nam.

In this invaluable episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Joel, an attorney, from Kirton & McConkie, and Keith the owner of Remington Builders, a framing company based in Utah County. Every business owner, especially in the construction industry will benefit from this jam-packed episode.  Do not miss this one. Construction RegistryProperty RightsContractsIssues facing modest income housing in Utahhttps://www.kmclaw.com/@remingtonbuilders

Fixed audio!  Historian Dan Vogel is one of the premiere experts on the life of Joseph Smith.  In part one of our interview, we will talk about his early life growing up in Mormonism, and I was a bit surprised to find out what a big fan of Bruce R. McConkie he was! https://youtu.be/uPPqFGMrO7M Dan:  I really liked research and writing on early Mormon history. Ever since I was about 16 and then going on it pretty hard. Before my mission, I had read all the standard works. I had practically all the inspired version, all the changes underlined in it from reading Bruce R. McConkie's, New Testament Commentary. When I read those three volumes, as a teenager, GT:  You were a McConkie Mormon, then? Dan: Yes, and he came to my mission. GT: Oh, really? Dan:  Yeah. He came to my mission. GT:  Where did you go? Dan:  Birmingham, England. He came my mission. He was one of my heroes, because he was a scriptorian, and I was kind of scriptorian myself, as a kid. You know, I was really gung ho on seminary, going to seminary and raising my hand, "I know that! I know that!" So I was very annoying. GT: This is early morning seminary? Dan: Oh, yeah. GT:  I feel bad for these people outside of Utah that don't have release time seminary. That was too early for me. We will talk about his mission, and his change in beliefs.  By the way, at the beginning of this episode, I introduce Dan as "Dr. Dan Vogel."  He does not hold a Ph.D., so that is not correct.  Sorry about that slip up on my part, but I hope you enjoy the rest of episode 1.  Check out our conversation….. Dan Vogel no longer believes in the LDS Church, but he used to be a big fan of apostle Bruce R. McConkie!

Dr. Matt Harris has uncovered that apostle Bruce R. McConkie wrote Official Declaration 2, which allowed for the first time in 120 years, open ordination of black church men, and allowed blacks access to the LDS Temple ordinances.  This may seem especially ironic, given the fact that McConkie had long justified the ban through the Curse of Cain and Curse of Ham in his book, Mormon Doctrine.https://youtu.be/I7n9Ku5MzaEMatt:  President Kimball knows what he is doing.  He needs to get Elder McConkie's buy-in.  When he gets Elder McConkie's buy-in that the ban needs to be lifted, I mean he feels that there is a tremendous weight off his shoulders.This isn't to take away of course any of the spiritual aspects of the temple and the revelation, and the things that the apostles will recount afterwards about it being the most magnificent spiritual experience of their life.  I think that's all very authentic and genuine, but it just speaks to President Kimball's remarkable leadership, that I order to do this, “I've got to really work with my associates and massage them and help them to understand that this is the right thing to do."  To me that is an incredible, remarkable exercise in leadership on President Kimball's part, because he doesn't want to create a schism in the Twelve like President Woodruff had under his leadership.I am sure as the church president that President Kimball could have just done something unilaterally.  But if there is no buy-in, what is the point?  Right?  If people don't realize that this is the right thing to do, that's really one of the most remarkable things is that he gets the buy-in from Elder McConkie.  Not only is there buy-in from Elder McConkie, the biggest doctrinal hardliner, but it is Elder McConkie who writes the Second Official Manifesto that will be added to the Doctrine & Covenants.  That is his language.We will also discuss a candid discussion between President Kimball and an official from the Carter Administration, who expressed displeasure with the ban. Matt:  Also, going on behind the scenes is President Kimball's meeting with a man named Jack Carlson.  He is Ph.D. in economics from Harvard.  He is a liberal Mormon democrat.  He is one of the proud three in the ‘70s!  {chuckles} He works in the Carter Administration.  He calls Jack Carlson into his office, and just has this very candid discussion.  This is in I think '76-77, somewhere in there.  He calls in Jack Carlson and his wife, just the three of them:  President Kimball and the Carlsons.  He says, “Jack, why do the Carter people hate us so much?”He said, “President, don't you get it?“No, tell me.  That's why you are here.”He said, “They hate our views on ERA, our views towards women and ERA.”  This is in the midst of the ERA movement. Of course, Utah was the holdup, arguably one of the states that kills the amendment, to be honest.  The church was against it, and that galvanized opposition.  “The other thing is, they don't like our views towards black people.”President Kimball, without missing a beat, says, “We've got to change this policy, but I can't.  I am worried.  I am worried about how the saints in the South will take this policy.”  It's the same thing McKay had to deal with, you remember?  “I am worried about my brethren in the Twelve.”  That's what he said.Matt gets into some other interesting details as well, such as Merrill Bateman's mission to Nigeria in the early 1970s.  This is an interview you don't want to miss (in addition to our previous discussion of Pres Kimball!) Did you know Elder McConkie wrote Official Declaration 2?Check out our conversation….[paypal-donation]
