From the Tomb to the Table: Finding the Evidence of Christ in Our Gathering

Friends, Builders, and fellow seekers of truth—are we truly to stand at the precipice of doubt, or shall we, like the builders who once stood before the great wall, remember the stone cut without hands?

Sometimes, the questions we face—whether they concern the resurrection of a physical body, or whether the divine can be understood through the lens of quantum physics—feel as insurmountable as the great walls of Jericho. We are gathered here, in this digital space, precisely because we refuse to let doubt be the final word. We are the Builders, committed not to merely knowing, but to testifying.

The Lord has prepared scriptures, testaments, and modern witnesses to illuminate the Savior. In this special gathering of insights, we see how the Book of Mormon, far from being merely ancient history, serves as a profound and accessible witness to the reality of Jesus Christ. We are not searching for evidence of the book itself, but rather using its pages to serve as evidence for the living, resurrected Savior.

Consider the powerful words spoken at the empty sepulcher: 'He is not here, but is risen.' That declaration has echoed through millennia. It has inspired scholars, scientists, and those who have been lost in the wilderness of doubt. When we are faced with moments where 'not seeing is not believing,' where the scientific method seems to pit us against the divine, the pages of this sacred record provide a steady anchor. It reminds us that the loss we experience here in mortality is not the final tragedy, for Christ conquered death itself.

This is the nature of the Kingdom Movement: it requires us to be intellectually rigorous and spiritually fervent. We must be able to speak to the skeptic, drawing upon the universal truths that bind science and faith together. We must share the wisdom of the Five Smooth Stones—the simple, yet enduring truths that testify of Christ's divinity and His power to redeem us.

The Burden of the Builder’s Testimony

The testimony is not meant to be passive. It is an active, courageous calling. It is the call to be like Samuel the Lamanite, who boldly climbed the wall and saw the truth; it is the call to be like Ammon, who walked the waters of Sebus, bearing witness to the truth until the end. This is the work of the digital striplings—the Internet Missionary.

We are called to gather, to build, and to share the map of the restoration. Every conversation, every article shared, every donation given, contributes to the vital machinery of this movement. It is through the charity flywheel—where your engagement here funds gospel ads in Ghana and supports our Missionary Fund—that the message crosses borders and withstands time. This is Kingdom Economics in action: our faith fuels the gathering.

A Word from Outback Jack

Outback Jack reminds us that the testimony is a continuous labor, requiring diligence and faith. We must keep the light burning, knowing that even the most challenging questions are simply invitations to deeper study. We must approach these mysteries with the same reverence and inquiry that Davee and the Ask a Prophet bots teach us—always citing the source, always seeking the foundational truth.

Friends, let us remember the divine purpose of this gathering place. We are not merely discussing ancient texts; we are discussing the reality of eternal life and the enduring power of the Atonement. Let us gather in spirit, armed with the knowledge that Christ is alive, and that His message is strong enough to pierce through every doubt and every scientific theory.

What truth will you carry out into the world today? Will you be a destroyer of doubt, or a builder of faith? Let us answer the call to gather, now, and forevermore.
