A Quick Thought on Come, Follow Me from the Gospel Living app

“A cycle of wickedness, repentance, and righteousness. With leaders setting an example!

One of the blessings of the scriptures is that they help us learn from other people’s mistakes.

Seeing hundreds of years of Jaredite history in a few chapters makes it easy to spot the lessons: Generally speaking, when the kings are righteous, the people prosper. When the kings are wicked, the people suffer.

It would appear that many Jaredites followed their king’s example—for either good or bad. Some of the kings may have been religious leaders, too, which would have made their personal unrighteousness even more damaging.”

We are seeing this all over the world. Some world leaders say they follow Christ while making policies that go against Christ’s teachings and they are publicly living their lives in ways Christ warned us against. They are acting as world leaders and religious leaders while living in wickedness.

The most important thing we can do is to personally follow Christ. We can try to elect righteous leaders, but the only thing we can truly control is ourselves. Love radically as Christ loved. Follow Christ’s Gospel, not someone’s interpretation of His teachings.

"You are called to die to the darkness of self-centeredness in your life, so that in a conversion you may perceive what has always been within you from the time of your Baptism, the light of Christ ready to transfigure you into His same glorious light...Jesus Christ truly lives in all His transcendent light and power within you. He has already taken the initiative. It is for you to respond to this reality of the indwelling Christ as light within you."

~Fr. George A. Maloney, SJ

Every follower of Christ is encouraged to be a role model, striving genuinely to mirror Christ’s love, spirit, and faith in daily life and service. We’re called to pursue excellence, even if we fall short; our sincere effort to imitate Christ will inspire others to follow his way.

“Be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.” - 1 Timothy 4:12

Practical Ways to Shine Your Light Daily

Light represents visibility and revelation. It’s not just about preservation but about being seen, actively sharing and spreading God’s word. These distinct but complementary roles encourage us to both preserve faith’s essence an its truth.

Let Your Light Shine: Embrace the Light of the World In the teachings of 3 Nephi 12:14–16, we’re reminded of our call to be the “Light of the World.” This isn’t just an ancient text; it’s a timeless message urging us to embrace the light within to inspire others. In today’s bustling society, shining this light can turn into a beacon of hope and guidance for many who need it. Let’s explore how…

God is Good.

Christ is Lord.

Jesus is King.

Whatever it is you're struggling with, ask for the help of Jesus and He will grant it to you. But it's also your job to reject lust, greed, wrath and other sins of the modern world.
