    Yes.  Darin Scott is the director of The Oath movie.  It is about the last Moroni who buried up the golden plates in the Earth.  If this movie is successful he plans on making more movies about the Captain Moroni in the book of Alma.
    At the website is the movie preview.  If you like what you see show up and support it come December 8th, 2023.

    Without having read the thread or the details of it, but just looking at the question:
    Is Faith in Jesus Christ More Important for our Salvation than the Condition of our Hearts?
    The simple, plain and obvious answer is yes. Faith in Jesus Christ is more important for our salvation than the condition of our heart.
    The reason for Jesus Christ's atonement is EXACTLY because of the guaranteed failure we'll all have in our heart's conditions. It is through faith in Him (and associated repentance) that we are redeemed BY Him, not by ourselves and our condition, status, prowess, etc.,etc.

    So, in a new career development, I have somehow miraculously been granted an opportunity to interview for a position as the Director of Software Development for a small company.  The position is kind of a mashup of Director (report to CEO), Manager (manage a small team of developers), Lead (help guide team members, the direction of the software and team development style & habits), and there's probably some Product Owner responsibilities in there too.  I do believe it is something I am capable of doing, and it would certainly be an exciting opportunity, though, from an on paper, completely objective measure, I am probably not qualified; despite that, they were willing to grant me an interview on Monday.

    I have no idea what the Lord's plan is, but this opportunity has only come about because of things he helped set in motion a few years ago.  Anyway, I welcome any prayers you kind folks may be willing to send in my direction.  Given the circumstances, I don't think my feelings will be hurt if I don't get the position, but if the Lord is willing to entrust me with this opportunity in my career, I'll gladly take it and strive to do my best with it.

    Interestingly, if the position were to be offered, I would either need to do some convincing in terms of salary negotiating, or else need a confirmation from the Lord to take the position regardless, because as it stands, even the top of the salary range posted online would result in me bringing home less than what I am making today.  Anyway, I know the Lord will guide in this as well, and I'm somewhat jumping the gun thinking about it since I haven't even made it through the first round of interviews yet, but I figured I'd share and as mentioned before, welcome any prayers you may be willing to send in my direction.

    Appreciate you all and the support I've received here in the past. 🙂

    person0 reacted to prisonchaplain in Does "Third Hour" mean anything to you?   
    I finally showed our LDS volunteers this website and my role as a non-LDS moderator. The introduction was the question: Does the term "third hour" mean anything to you? They said it used to. So, I mentioned that some LDS folk wanted a third hour to discuss the gospel and other topics, and so LDSTalk was renamed. While they said they had never heard of the site they seemed impressed. They expressed appreciation, so who knows, we may see a bit of uptick in our traffic. 🙂

    My thoughts (in brief):
     
    If the first wife desires to remain sealed, I believe it is generally the right thing to allow her to do so and to not seek to strip away that sealing. The second wife is very much in the wrong here.  She is acting pridefully.  Though her desires are understandable, she is not willing to trust the Lord to make everything work out perfectly as it should in the eternities. The second wife is also completely wrong about the morality of a man being sealed to more than one woman for eternity and is expressing and enforcing her opinions over and above those of the Lord and the doctrines and teachings of His Gospel. I wish the couple in question the best and pray for the spirit to meaningfully influence their lives to help lead them to all the blessings the Lord desires for them.

    BTW, if you get the sealing broken, it will just be re-done after the man and his wife are both deceased anyway.  When we do work for the dead, men are sealed to every spouse they had in mortality, especially when children are in the mix.  Ultimately, it cannot be avoided at this point, however, we do have the opportunity to trust in the Lord and in His plans for us.

    Even the least position in the telestial kingdom is a part of a kingdom of God's glory. It is thus of necessity pure and sinless. So if by "LGBTQ+" concepts you mean activities or ideas that have to do with same-sex sexual relations, I would assume that no such activities or ideas can exist in a place of moral purity.
