Hank, John and Dr. Susan Easton Black share their favorite thought from this week's Come, Follow Me lesson.
This week, Tim and Aubrey Chaves of Faith Matters welcomed back Charles Inouye. When they first spoke with Charles a couple months ago, he mentioned that he had prepared some thoughts on living a life free of racism. Given President Nelson’s recent call for members of the Church to “lead out in abandoning attitudes and actions of prejudice,” we wanted to get him back on as soon as we could so he could share his impressive insights. We knew that Charles would have a unique perspective to share on this topic.
Dr. Susan Easton Black continues to share how the divinely developed temple ordinances are shared with the Lord’s people in Nauvoo, even how people sang as the temple stones were driven through town. We can rejoice with the early Saints as they build Nauvoo, and establish temple worship that endures today.
If temple work is the soul of the Restoration, the Nauvoo Temple may be its heart. Dr. Susan Easton Black returns to share her love of the city of Nauvoo as well as the joy the Saints felt to not only have a temple but have a gathering place for the Saints and world visitors in order to not only redeem the dead but to share the gospel with the entire world.
