Ep 8...Faith: What the Flood Teaches us about God

Does the flood prove God’s morals are twisted? Does it prove WE are twisted because we worship Him? 3 Things We Learn About God from the Flood In this episode we talk about: 1) The assassination of Charlie Kirk -his murder reflects the opposition's feelings in the continuing spiritual battle for America -Kirk was more a Latter-Day Saint than many Latter-Day Saints (yes, you read that correctly) -his legacy lives on in the countless people coming to and committing themselves to Christ 2) How the flood was an act of justice 3) It was also an act of mercy 4) And it grieved God, immensely 5) Empower Go & Do Challenge -Decide which you naturally lean more towards; justice or mercy -Then lean a little the other way in your relationships & approach to life 6) Edifying Happy Thought -Christ’s atonement is real, if it is available for the people during Noah’s time, it is available for us -Just like God used the waters to cleanse the earth, purge wickedness and start over -We can do the same every Sunday when we partake of the sacrament to cleanse our hearts, purge our wickedness and start over   SOURCES -Proving Contraries https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/broadcasts/article/worldwide-devotionals/2015/01/tasting-the-light?lang=eng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwdeZ1hhY9s -The Flood was an act of Justice Genesis 6 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/gen/6?lang=eng Moses 8 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/pgp/moses/8?lang=eng https://www.antislavery.org/slavery-today/human-trafficking/   -Elder Neal A.
