President Nelson Bears "Special Witness" of Jesus Christ from Jerusalem

Hello again, everyone! I am pleased to report today an update to the ongoing series of videos entitled "Special Witnesses of Christ." As most of you are probably aware, in the year 2000, in conjunction with the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles releasing "The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles", a video series was published featuring each apostle speaking on a special subject relating to their personal witnesses of Jesus Christ.

While President Nelson was in Jerusalem as part of his "World Ministry Tour", he recorded an updated version of his personal testimony that the Church will now include in that video series. You can read more about that here (from the Church News website) and here (on the Newsroom subpage of the official Church website).

I am grateful that all our apostles unitedly and frequently share their witness of the Savior. For any who would like to review the series of videos as a whole, you can find those here. It should be noted that Elders Gong and Soares have not yet had videos of their own added to the series, but those may be forthcoming.

In the meantime, on an unrelated personal note, I wanted to reiterate here something I have said previously which bears repeating. When I post new content to this blog, I hope no one will take that as any signal from me that conversations on previous threads should end.

To the contrary, I am always willing to accept feedback on anything I have posted at any time for any reason, as long as the content of the  offered comments remains within the guidelines I have set. I hope all who read what is posted on this blog understands how much I appreciate your readership and feedback, just as I hope my thoughts and analysis of ongoing developments is helpful to you all.

As we continue to exchange thoughts and dialogue about the ongoing developments in the Lord's Church, I hope that all can be edified. That does it for this post. As noted earlier, any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time.

If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of updated content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
