Testimony
A
Testimony of the Gospel is the heart of every heart believer, every
man, women and child. The Testimony shows the vitality of the member
in the church.
Let's
us the human body as an example. There are 76 different organs in
the human body, each one has a specific function, the heart is the
life force of the body rushing the necessities for proper function of
the body. The testimony of the Gospel does the same thing, it rushes
vital nutrients to the whole of the Gospel.
If
the human heart gets weak the whole body feels it, and when it
stops... Well the whole body stops. The same goes for our
Testimony. If it gets weak it's shows all through the Gospel in your
life and if your Testimony dies, well you get the picture.
We
are constantly being taught our General Authorities to search the
scriptures, to follow the council of our leaders, to pray and fast.
Everything they instruct us to do is for our spiritual well-beings,
it's to help us keep our Testimonies strong.
I
picked the name Zen because it means, “To Meditate”. We are
taught in the scriptures that we must, “Meditate upon these things;
give thy self wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”
(1 Timothy 4:15) While Meditation takes many forms including
pondering I felt this was a good Title.
I
must stress the importance of studying the scriptures, in them is the
secret to eternal life and true happiness. It is through much
prayer, study, and meditation that I believe I have learned these
things. While I do reveal many things that I have learned, there are
a great many that I withhold due to their sacredness to me.
What
I share here is not the Doctrine of the Church, I do not set the
doctrine of the church, that is up to our great leaders, the First
Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, They are Special
Witness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. While they are Special
Witness of our Lord and Savior, I am a Witness of him as well and I
do add my humble testimony to theirs in proclaiming that Jesus is the
Christ, the very Son of God, He is the only Source for Salvation. No
man may enter the rest of our Father without his consent. He came to
earth to live the perfect example of how we are to live our lives and
the path we must go to return to our Father in Heaven. I say these
things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
