Around and About the Centre Place

by High Priest Paul J. Gage, Independence, Missouri..

"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6. "...and they shall call his name Emmanuel, (which being interpreted, is, God with us." Matthew 2:6 IV. These scriptures among the many others are God's word to man. In today's world, maybe more than at any other time in history, mankind is turning away from anything and everything that has to do with God, religion, or simply natural vs unnatural, or good and bad. If a person does not want to believe in God or that we are bound to follow God's commandments, they just say, "I don't believe in a God, if there is one." In Genesis 5:4 in the Inspired Version, it reads, "But, behold, also Cain hearkened not, saying, Who is the Lord, that I should know him?" In Jacob 5:23, in the Book of Mormon, Jacob has been challenged by Sherem to give him a sign. Jacob answers by saying, "What am I , that I should tempt God to shew unto thee a sign, in the things which thou doest knowest to be true?" Like Sherem, many people of our time, at least know about God, but because they (we) want to do our own thing, our own way, we say, "There is no God." Many, like Sherem and even Satan wrest the scriptures to make them read as they wish they would read. The word, "wrest" is found in the scriptures, at least five times, Exodus 23:2 and 6; Deuteronomy 16:19; Psalm 56:5 and II Peter 3:16. Peter especially hits the mark, when he says, referring to some of Paul's writings, "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which they who are unlearned and unstable, wrest, as they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction." Wresting the scriptures means to twist, turn, change, or alter it to say what you want it to say. A young daughter once asked her mother why the temple in Independence, Missouri was "twisted." The mother's response is a classic. She said, "When you twist (wrest) the truth, you twist (wrest) the temple." A number of the "factions," from the 1830's up to today, have taken a scripture given to the Church, at large, and wrested them, trying to make them apply to a small group over here, or a small group over there. In Deuteronomy 17:14-20, we find directions given to the king, in regards to knowing and keeping God's word. The king was to copy the law for himself, keep it, and read it daily as long as he lived. How many times do we "take for the gospel truth" what someone else says? In Mosiah 1:3-12, King Benjamin explains why the written Word of God is so vital to each of us individually and all of us collectively. Without the Word of God, that is the scriptures we have and the plates they had, we would dwindle in ignorance and unbelief. That is also why it so important that we teach and train our children in the Word of God and the way they should go. As always, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate example. In every situation, He was guided by the instructions given to Him by His Father. This is shown clearly in Matthew 4:1-10 when, after having been led by the Spirit, into the wilderness to be with God, and fasting for 40 days and nights, and had communed with God, was left to be tempted of the devil, Jesus, in all three temptations, used the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, when He said, "It is written...." We must know the Word of God well enough so that at every encounter with the adversary or those who work with the adversary, we will know how to use the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, as we are told in Ephesians 6:17. Remember also, that often, the adversary's helpers are wolves among the sheep. As Jesus responded in the first temptation, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Amen and Amen! The importance of God's Word is especially vital to us at this time of year, when we remember the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus was designated from before the foundation of the world, to come into the world in the meridian of time in order to save us from our sins. From Genesis to Isaiah to Micah to Matthew, Luke and John to Helaman 5 and Third Nephi and other scriptures we see the promises of God. Though mankind has and is doing everything they can to offset God's plan, they can't do it. God's Word stands sure, just like the Solid Rock. Many Christians often wonder just how they should, or if they should observe or celebrate Christmas. As with all things, Jesus Christ must be the center of our focus. The following is something I found on a web site. I do not vouch for it as such, but it has a good thought. The Savior’s birthday. Even though Christmas for the Saints in Nauvoo seems to have been very different from Christmas today, the purpose was the same—to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And few men understand the glory of that birth as did the Prophet himself. For Joseph had seen the Savior, “even on the right hand of God,”
and had borne witness through personal knowledge “that he lives” (DC 76:3 a-g). Waldo Avenue Restoration Branch Outreach Ministry Waldo Avenue Restoration Branch (WARB) has been an integral part of Center Place Restoration School (CPRS) since its inception in 1991-92. At that time, the Independence, Missouri City Council required that there be a church along with the school. That is the way it was before the facility was purchased by Saints of the Restoration. WARB was thus founded to support CPRS. CPRS enrollment is up for the third year in a row.
WARB has been involved in ministry, beyond the branch for many years. WARB sponsors a Mission at the Groves, which used to be called Resthaven. A worship service is provided each Sunday afternoon at 3:30 pm. The current pastor of the Mission is Elder James Loumiet from WARB. Several other branches and ministers, from around the Center Place help provide the services and many people are involved in helping transport residents to the services. Annual Give-A-Way Projects. Each year, in the fall and in the spring, WARB sponsors give-a-way events to help those who have need of clothing, and various other items. In the fall, it is geared more toward winter items and in the spring, general items. WARB is also hosting the Restoration Chorale Christmas Program on Sunday, December 16, 2018 at 6:00 pm. This may be live streamed and well worth the watching. The Missionary groups are all busy planning mission trips for 2019. Trips are planned for Australia, Africa, England, Germany, India, Nepal, the Philippines and possibly other areas. The Conference of Restoration Elders (CRE) and Pastors of Zion are in the beginning stages of planning for the June 23-28, 2019 Restoration Branch Family Reunion and CRE. Others can have their "Happy Holidays," and "Season's Greetings," I will thankfully say,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" and thank you God for your Great Gift to Us.

Riches From The Scriptures. by Elder Neil Kerswell, Queensland, Australia. Volume 3. Chapter 23 Christmas Thoughts 2018

It’s almost that time of year again when people all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I have pleasant memories of this happening as far back as I can recall. It was always a joy throughout my childhood and still is at 51 years of age. Some people over the years have put forth theories and understandings that the timing of Christmas is wrong and that December 25th is a manmade event. I must admit I have seen great merit in what has been presented on this matter, however I have no desire to get hung up on it. I think it is marvelous anytime that people think about Christ, and especially if they want to worship. It’s a time when we may find opportunity to witness of the goodness of Christ to neighbours, friends and relatives. A time to show kindness at the various events we may be invited to. It’s a time for unity, peace and goodwill. I love how the Christmas Carols are always sung with a special joy and gusto, the meanings of some of the Christmas hymns are actually very deep and meaningful. Those people who wrote many of them were truly inspired by God. I hope you enjoy some of the Scriptures I would like to share with you. Luke 1:26-52 Angel Gabriel Brings Mary the News – She is Chosen and shall bare the Son of God [Luke 1:26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God, unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth. [Luke 1:27] To a virgin, espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [Luke 1:28] And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, thou virgin, who art highly favored of the Lord. The Lord is with thee, for thou art chosen and blessed among women. [Luke 1:29] And when she saw the angel, she was troubled at his saying, and pondered in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [Luke 1:30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God. [Luke 1:31] And behold, thou shalt conceive, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus. [Luke 1:32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David; [Luke 1:33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. [Luke 1:35] And the angel answered and said unto her, Of the Holy Ghost, and the power of the Highest. Therefore also, that holy child that shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

[Luke 1:36] And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son, in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
[Luke 1:37] For with God nothing can be impossible. [Luke 1:38] And Mary said, Behold the handmade of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. [Luke 1:39] And in those days, Mary went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda, [Luke 1:40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. [Luke 1:41] And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb. [Luke 1:42] And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost, and she spake out with a loud voice and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [Luke 1:43] And why is it, that this blessing is upon me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
[Luke 1:44] And blessed art thou who believed, for those things which were told thee by the angel of the Lord, shall be fulfilled. [Luke 1:45] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [Luke 1:46] And my spirit rejoiceth in God my Savior. [Luke 1:47] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [Luke 1:48] For he who is mighty hath done to me great things; and I will magnify his holy name, [Luke 1:49] For his mercy on those who fear him from generation to generation. [Luke 1:50] He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. [Luke 1:51] He hath put down the mighty from their high seats; and exalted them of low degree. [Luke 1:52] He hath filled the hungry with good things; but the rich he hath sent empty away. What an experience to receive of God, and look at the quality of the character of Mary. It is easy to see why she was chosen and blessed among women. At Gabriel’s initial announcement Mary doesn’t understand what is being said to her, she is a little afraid, but very quickly comes on board and begins to grasp the message of God to her personally. There was about to be conceived in her a child whose life was a result of the Power of the Holy Ghost. The agency of God entering flesh and becoming man, who would be known as the Son of the Highest, and He would be called the Son of God. This would all be, because with God nothing is impossible. Listen to Mary’s reply (Behold the handmade of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.) We are told in scripture that the testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy. Look at how this so literally plays out in the lives of Elisabeth and Mary when they meet. Both of them are filled with the spirit of Prophecy and bring forth revelation to strengthen each other, and help us so many years later to understand, and as prophesied of all generations who would follow, we too call her blessed for the saviour who was born of her. Matthew 2:1-8 Joseph finds out and is kind! [Matthew 2:1] Now, as it is written, the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise. After his mother, Mary, was espoused to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. [Matthew 2:2] Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. [Matthew 2:3] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a vision, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. [Matthew 2:4] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins. [Matthew 2:5] Now this took place, that all things might be fulfilled, which were spoken of the Lord, by the prophets, saying, [Matthew 2:6] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, (which, being interpreted, is, God with us.) [Matthew 2:7] Then Joseph, awaking out of his vision, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife; [Matthew 2:8] And knew her not until she had brought forth her first-born son; and they called his name Jesus. Joseph was a kind and understanding man, his initial thoughts when Mary was with child would have been something along the lines of why have you been unfaithful to me? However, even being confronted with this huge event with the woman that was espoused to him (a form of Engagement or Betrothal to be Married) Joseph had no desire to make a public example of her. He had made up his mind to put her away privily (Confidentially or in secret). This shows me something about the character of Joseph he had love like an ocean. God put Joseph’s mind at rest with an experience of his own with an angel telling him that Mary was a good woman and would make a great wife because a miracle had occurred in her of the Holy Ghost. Joseph was given the saviour’s name as “Jesus” and that he would save his people from their sins. This is so very important. The Jews, when they did look for a saviour were looking for a strong military Prophet/Leader who would deliver them from their enemies not
realizing that it was their own sin and falling away from the truth which had brought about their captivity and sorrows they were experiencing at the hands of the Romans. Looking forward in time, whenever Jesus taught them he was trying to get through to them of the major changes in attitude that needed to enter their hearts in order to be cleansed within and then comes the outward blessings once the temple is clean and filled with the Holy Ghost. Attitude is what still plagues us today. Will we see Christ and follow Him when he does the great things that Nephi tells us of? [1 Nephi 7:41] For behold, the righteous shall not perish; [1 Nephi 7:42] For the time surely must come, that all they who fight against Zion, shall be cut off. [1 Nephi 7:43] And the Lord will surely prepare a way for his people, unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: [1 Nephi 7:44] A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. [1 Nephi 7:45] And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that prophet, shall be cut off from among the people.
[1 Nephi 7:46] And now I, Nephi, declare unto you, that this prophet of whom Moses spake, was the Holy One of Israel; [1 Nephi 7:47] Wherefore, he shall execute judgment in righteousness; [1 Nephi 7:48] And the righteous need not fear, for they are those who shall not be confounded. [1 Nephi 7:49] But it is the kingdom of the devil which shall be built up among the children of men, which kingdom is established among them which are in the flesh: [1 Nephi 7:50] For the time speedily shall come, that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; [1 Nephi 7:51] Yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil, are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; [1 Nephi 7:52] They are those who must be brought low in the dust; [1 Nephi 7:53] They are those who must be consumed as stubble: [1 Nephi 7:54] And this is according to the words of the prophet. [1 Nephi 7:55] And the time cometh speedily, that the righteous must be led up as calves of the stall, and the Holy One of Israel must reign in dominion, and might, and power, and great glory. [1 Nephi 7:56] And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; [1 Nephi 7:57] And he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; [1 Nephi 7:58] And there shall be one fold and one shepherd: [1 Nephi 7:59] And he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture. [1 Nephi 7:60] And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan has no power; [1 Nephi 7:61] Wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; [1 Nephi 7:62] For he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth. [1 Nephi 7:63] And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you, that all these things must come according to the flesh. [1 Nephi 7:64] But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel, if it so be that they will repent [1 Nephi 7:65] And now I, Nephi, make an end; for I durst not speak further as yet, concerning these things.
All my days I have seen men and women in the church looking for a man (part of the membership of the Church), who would do the great things that only God through Jesus Christ can do in our future. I was once one of them. We need to be like the wise men that looked for the star and sign of Christ’s birth. They trusted in prophecy and were reading the signs of the times prepared so that if it came in their lifetime they were ready and prepared to act and respond. I hope all reading this including myself will humble ourselves and look to Christ and give Him his proper place in our hearts and worship. Let us read about His birth. [Luke 2:1] And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all his empire should be taxed. [Luke 2:2] This same taxing was when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. [Luke 2:3] And all went to be taxed, everyone in his own city. [Luke 2:4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David,) [Luke 2:5] To be taxed, with Mary his espoused wife, she being great with child. [Luke 2:6] And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. [Luke 2:7] And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was none to give room for them in the inns. [Luke 2:8] And there were in the same country, shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. [Luke 2:9] And lo, an angel of the Lord appeared unto them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
[Luke 2:10] But the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [Luke 2:11] For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. [Luke 2:12] And this is the way you shall find the babe, he is wrapped in swaddling clothes, and is lying in a manger. [Luke 2:13] And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
[Luke 2:14] Glory to God in the highest; and on earth, peace; good will to men. [Luke 2:15] And it came to pass, when the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go, even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us. [Luke 2:16] And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [Luke 2:17] And when they had seen, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. [Luke 2:18] All they who heard it, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds; [Luke 2:19] But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. [Luke 2:20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things which they had heard and seen, as they were manifested unto them. What a joyous occasion for them then, what a joyous occasion for us now. It doesn’t matter when we are born in the history of this earth, the most important event that will ever relate to us is God making peace between us, his creation and Himself through Jesus Christ our Lord. Only through Him can we know a fullness of life and joy. The heavens sang so the shepherds could see and hear them saying Glory to God in the highest; and on earth, peace ~ good will to men. I mentioned earlier of the wise men preparing so that if the Star came to pass in their lifetime they could act, but what about the generations who came before them and managed to inspire faith in such things to a point where some were able to take part in this great event? Could we respond if what Nephi prophesied of Christ became apparent tomorrow? But if not tomorrow will your children be in a position to see and respond. This is the reason I started recording Riches from the Scriptures. I have taught my family all my married life till now. I hope to be alive when the great works of Christ in restoring his people to one fold and one shepherd take place in the manner Nephi describes. However if I am taken home before that time I pray my family and all God’s people everywhere will be inspired to act in a timely and appropriate manner discerning the signs of the times and being spiritually prepared to be a part of the great works of God. It is to this end, that I hope for you all, a safe and happy Christmas. This I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
