If you have not already tuned in, I invite you to do so now.
This is a message recently delivered by Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn at the U.S. Capitol the day after the Supreme Court of the United States began to hear arguments on whether or not to legalize gay marriage across the country. (It is already legal in over 30 states—largely due to judicial fiat.)
Yes, this very important issue is now not in the hands of the states or of the millions of American voters but instead in the hands of nine judges.
On a related topic: I'm one who believes that some of the most powerful sermons of the LDS faith are contained in the Primary songs we've known, sung, and loved for decades.
"Given this land
If they live
Righteously"
What a powerful reminder is given in these words from "Book of Mormon Stories," and they rang through my head as I watched this powerful, fearless, unforgettable speech by Rabbi Cahn. Though he has not, I imagine, read the Book of Mormon, he hits on a vitally important teaching contained in its pages.
This was and is a land of promise—as long as we who inhabit it live righteously.
