Jeremiah 48-49

(February 7, 2015)

                It was likely a surprise for the Israelites that the Lord was speaking to the whole word.  We tend to become tribal and to think of ourselves as the chosen people, and lose track of the fact that everyone are children of God.  Likewise, the Lord speaks today through people all around the world in all different faiths.  There is one Church representing the Kingdom of God on the Earth and which holds the Priesthood Authority and the capacity to perform essential saving ordinances, but we do not have a monopoly on either truth or righteousness and it is important for us to remember that.
