The Eternal Power: Building a Kingdom Rooted in Divine Goodness

Brothers and sisters, gather round, and let us consider the mighty hand of the Creator. When we open the scriptures to the Book of Genesis, we are not merely reading a tale of beginnings; we are encountering the very character of our God—a character that is utterly good, eternally powerful, and deeply desirous of blessing His children.

In our journey to understand the Old Testament, we are taught to look past the narrative of *how* the world began, and instead, to focus on *who* created it and *why*. This lesson, which David and Emily guide us through, reminds us that the Divine Plan is not a mystery, but a glorious unfolding of goodness, mirroring the promise that the Stone, cut without hands, will eventually be placed in its place.

The Builder’s Blueprint: From Eden to the Gathering

The foundational truths we uncover—the glimpses of a Heavenly Mother, the miracle of creation, the divine desire to bless—are the very bedrock upon which the Kingdom of God must be built. This truth is what separates the Builders from the Destroyers.

The world is filled with whispers of doubt and murmurs of disbelief. Some may say that the God of the Old Testament is too distant, too severe, or too far removed from our modern hearts. But the sacred record calls us to a higher truth: that the goodness of God is constant, flowing like the waters that sustained Ammon at the Waters of Sebus, and that His grace is always available to those who seek to build.

The mission of gathering Israel is the ultimate act of building. It is the fulfillment of divine covenant, echoing the faith of Samuel the Lamanite, who climbed the walls of Jericho not by military might, but by faith and adherence to God’s word. Our work today, whether through the virtual space of this network or the physical reality of the land, requires the same steadfast, unwavering faith.

This global endeavor, this Gather Israel movement, is not a localized effort—it is a Kingdom movement. It requires us to be faithful disciples, ready to plant the seeds of the gospel across the globe.

Sustaining the Work: The Covenant Economy

To fulfill this great covenant, we must be wise stewards of the blessings we receive. The work of building the Kingdom is not done through individual effort alone; it requires the collective strength of the faithful. This is where the principles of Kingdom Economics come into play.

Our commitment to the mission is manifested through several load-bearing structures that allow the gospel to continue spreading. When you contribute to the Missionary Fund, you are not just donating; you are investing in eternal progress. Through our charity flywheel, your engagement here directly funds vital gospel advertising and educational efforts in nations like Ghana, allowing the light of the restored gospel to shine where it has been suppressed.

We invite you to look at the map of churches, and to claim your own corner of the faith. Are you ready to be a Builder? Are you ready to help us paint the next set of painted rocks for the global community?

A Call to Study and Action

The scriptures teach us that knowledge and devotion must walk hand-in-hand with action. We encourage you to continue engaging with resources like the Ask a Prophet bots and the study aids provided by Davee, allowing us to deepen our understanding of the eternal plan. Remember that the insights gained from studying the ancient covenants—the promise of Abraham, the power of Moses, the glory of creation—are the same promises that guide our efforts today.

The call is clear: Be builders, not destroyers. Let your lives, like the five smooth stones that stood witness to the prophets, be solid, unwavering, and dedicated to the gathering. The promise of God remains true, and through our unified commitment, we will see the Kingdom established.
