Traveler Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The Lord inspires most people who enter into religion to work. Whether a person wears religious clothing/jewelry or not, people respond to those inspirations. Therefore, we will feel a greater society of religious figures than is usual during this time as was the case in the 60's. An Episcopalian Priest was picking up his car from the dealership automotive repair shop wearing casual street clothes. When the serviceman came out to give him the keys, the serviceman blushed and said "I'll be right back." The Priest waited nearly an hour before the serviceman reappeared and gave him the keys.A Pentecostal student took a job at a small discount store. Many of the customers were very moved by him and would ask him where he was going to college. Two Missionaries were in the bicycle shop when I went in to get a bicycle part for my son. It was their day off and they were dressed in casual dress clothes, cotton shirt and slacks. The shop owner was being so reverent that I barely recognized him. Although I said hi to the Missionaries, I stood quietly by while the shop owner took care of their business. While we may not know who the false ones are, we definitely know who is called of God. I do know that President Gordon B. Hinckley was called by God.A thought - The Book of Mormon talks about a stiff nicked people. What is the spiritual reference? Have you ever noticed what Jews do at the wall of the temple at Jerusalem? They are bowing their heads in spiritual symbology of a covenant at the temple. The stiff nicked people are those that do not bow their heads for sacred covenant. It is not what is seen of the natural man but that which is seen by the spirit.The question is not if that person or another person is a prophet to testify of Christ - It is the question we all need to ask of ourselves. Do we testify of Christ or of the understanding of man?The Traveler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
