A key that will never rust, pt. 1
Apr 18th, 2008 by Stephen Erastus Knudsen III
I recently saw a wise comment from a wise brother over on cougar boards. He was saying we should not shy away from the historical doctrine of polygamy just because it is a nasty PR situation. His conclusion was:
I think a little persecution would be good for the Church. Persecution is like a refining fire, it burns away the impurities. The period of time when the Chruch went through its greatest growth has always been through times of persecution. Bring it on.
Amen dear brother. So in response to this, I would like to give you all a rule to follow that will never lead you astray. Lo, verily, a key that will never rust:
1. If we are being persecuted, it is because we have made the devil mad.
2. If we’ve made the devil mad, then we know we are doing something right.
3. If we are doing something right, then we know that we are loved of God.
4. If God chasteneth those who he loves then we should just expect persecution.
I know this to be true.
Blessings and prosperity are a tool of the deceptive flattering fiend. Persecution is the surest measuring stick. Bring it on, in deed.
