Summary

Have you ever felt wronged and wanted justice? Do you struggle to balance family and Church callings? And what is the real reason for suffering in our lives? D&C 98-101 offers profound and often surprising answers to these questions, giving us a blueprint for peace in a world of contention. Summary: In this episode, we tackle four remarkable revelations. We start with D&C 98 and the "Lord's Law of War," learning when to patiently endure and when to stand. We'll explore the difference between being justified and being sanctified and discover why the Lord commands us to "renounce war and proclaim peace." Next, D&C 100 provides a powerful message for every parent and leader: "your families are well; they are in mine hands." This revelation gives us comfort and direction on balancing our most important responsibilities. We then dive into D&C 101, which reveals why the Saints suffered such intense persecution in Missouri—as a consequence of their own sins, including "jarrings, and contentions, and envyings". The Lord, however, promises to remember mercy in the day of wrath. We'll discuss the parable of the nobleman and the servants who asked, "what need hath my lord of this tower?" This serves as a powerful warning against second-guessing God's counsel. Amidst the chaos, D&C 101 offers incredible hope, redefining Zion as "the pure in heart," and promising that Zion "shall not be moved". Finally, we'll examine the Lord's "strange act" and His role in establishing the Constitution. Call-to-Action: What insights did you gain from the Lord's law of war and peace?

0:00.0	Hello, all my friends. Welcome back. It is an honor to be with you and honestly a privilege to be able to study what we're going to study today.
0:07.9	Section 98 through 101, there is so much material here that is mind-blowing, honestly.
0:14.7	Section 101, in fact, by itself, it's not one of those revelations that just kind of rolls off the tongue as one of the big ones.
0:21.6	We think of section 76 and 84 and 88 and things like that.
0:25.6	But 101 is this gem of a revelation that there is so much in it.
0:31.6	In fact, I had to whittle away some of the topics I really wanted to talk about from 98, 99, 100,
0:36.6	just to give 101 more attention
0:38.7	this week. I'm only going to teach one principle from 98, which makes me feel guilty almost.
0:44.5	I'm going to combine 99 and 100 with a common theme to give you a second topic, and then the other
0:52.0	five for this week are all going to be from 101. I hope that you fall in
0:56.3	love with this revelation to the point that it becomes a little bit more memorable to us, that we
1:00.3	elevate it among some of the loftiest revelations we have in the Doctrine Convance. In fact,
1:07.3	as I was preparing this time this week's lesson, I never looked back at four years ago.
1:13.9	I just want to kind of have a clean slate and jump into the scriptures and see what the Lord has to teach me.
1:19.2	And there's a lot of overlap from things he's taught me in the past, but I don't just thaw out an old lesson plan from years before.
1:27.4	But I did look at the video I filmed four
1:31.2	years ago to see at least how long did it take me to teach verse by verse? And it was almost four hours.
1:37.1	Okay? If you want to go that painstakingly carefully, then go back to the four-year-old version.
1:45.0	And there are some amazing things verse by verse by verse.
1:49.0	We're going to cut this at least in half for this year and see what we can do with the seven topics that I've got identified for you.
1:57.0	But I've been blessed to see relevance this time around that I had missed four years
2:05.1	before and every other time before. There are some things about faith crisis and some things
