Burning Bright

 

These troubling times

Aren't going away

Don't be deceived

Signs are coming our way

Lovers of their own selves

Pride becomes commonplace

Human trafficking sells

Taking what you want ranks

Wickedness, floods

Turmoil, famines, disease

Earthquakes, fires, storms

Yet, with Christ there is peace

Be not troubled

Anticipate the day

When Christ returns

And death is done away

Prepare your heart

Keep oil in your lamp

The Bridegroom nears

In holy places, stand

And you will need to shine

burning bright

Your lamp, like a torch in the night

And raise it up high

Burning bright

Inspired from Preparing for the Second Coming by Tom Pettit

How would your life be different if you did not have your covenants?

Temporal signs- parallels with Book of Mormon found in Helaman 18

Satan is spreading rumors and contentions to harden hearts and stir up iniquity and contention. Plea for the gift of discernment. Sift through the garbage. Elect will be deceived because they can't identify the line between truth and error. Those who treasure up His words will not be deceived. 1 Nephi 13 hold to the rod
