LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD JULY 25, 2024

 LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD JULY 25, 2024

Greetings to all the faithful Saints,

As each hour of every day of every week continues to unfold in our lives and the world, how is all the unfolding affecting your living in the kingdom of God and your efforts to “Build up that kingdom and establish His righteousness?” Did the plot, regardless of who was responsible, to kill a presidential candidate, affect you at all? Did it stir you to begin to lay aside everything that has no kingdom value in you life? Did it stir you to put away all the fractured parts of our lives and surrender it all to Jesus? Or has it been “Ho hum” and back to life “as usual?”

A few years ago when covid hit, statements were made that there would never be a return “to normal.” Whatever “normal” was or is. However, it appears, in many respects, that people have reached “normal” again and it shows in most every aspect of our lives. This seems to be the procedure for mankind. After suffering hardships of all kinds, when the hardships seem to have passed by, we fall back into the same ruts of life as before. God led the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land only to have them become slaves to Baal and other false gods. The same thing happened to the Jaredites, Nephites and all aspects of Latter Day Saints.

In Exodus when Moses asked God who he should tell the Israelites sent him, GOD SAID “I AM THAT I AM! TELL THEM I AM HAS SENT YOU. Has God changed His mind for us today? His Name is still I AM. Jesus emphasized this many times in the scriptures, including the following:

John 4:28 “...I who speak unto thee AM THE MESSIAS.

John 6:35 “...I AM the bread of life...the living bread..”

John 8:12 “...I AM the light of the world..” John 8:58 “...Before Abraham was, I AM..”

John 10:7 ”...I AM the door of the sheepfold…” John 10:11 “...I AM the good shepherd...”

John 11:25 “..I AM the resurrection and the life…”

John 14:6 “ I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life…”

John 15:1 :”...IAM the true vine.”

John 18: 5 “ I AM HE…” John 18: 8 “… I AM HE…”

Jesus is the only One and the Only Way! When will we stop trying everything our way? There is only ONE TRUE CHURCH and it does not ANY fractured parts. When we truly come back to the ONE TRUE CHURCH, keep all God’s commandments, embrace the TRUTH (JESUS) and look upward Genesis 9:21 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father Enoch, that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch, which I have caught up unto myself. 22 And this is mine everlasting covenant: that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy; 23 And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come. And this is mine everlasting covenant, which I made with thy father Enoch.

Why do we continue postponing this great event?

God bless

Moyne Annette DeLong - Obituary

 

Moyne Annette DeLong April 17, 1937 — July 17, 2024 Independence, Missouri Moyne Annette De Long, of Independence, Missouri, passed away at her home in eastern Independence on the morning of Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at the age of 87. Born April 17, 1937, in Leon, Iowa, she was the eldest child of Melvin James "Scoop" and Beulah Leora Schofield. Moyne spent her childhood in Lamoni, Iowa. At the age of 15, Moyne faced profound loss with the tragic death of her father, which led her mother to take up work at the Lamoni Bank while Moyne assumed responsibility for her siblings. That same year in 1952, Moyne started dating John Alvan De Long, a farmboy from Andover, Missouri, who would become her lifelong partner. Moyne graduated from Lamoni High School in 1955 and married John on June 8, 1958. Over the years, they relocated frequently due to John's career, living in Lamoni, Columbia and Independence (Missouri), Northglenn (Colorado), Albuquerque (New Mexico), Concord (California), Berlin (New Jersey) and Woodridge (Illinois) before settling back in Independence in 1977. Throughout her life, Moyne had a deep love for music, having played the cello during her school years. She continued to cherish classical music, particularly Mozart's Requiem and Handel's Messiah, long after setting aside her instrument. After her children were grown, Moyne began working at the MidContinent Public Library, where she dedicated herself to sorting through new books until her retirement in 2002. Known for her cheerful demeanor, Moyne brightened the lives of others with her trademark smiley face drawings slipped into her children's lunchboxes. She was a shy and private person, characterized by her dignity, loyalty, and a quietly humorous spirit. Moyne is survived by her son Scott De Long of Independence, his son Andrew (40) with Catherine, and great-grandson Grayson Wren De Long (13) of Sugar Creek; her daughter Julie (Tracy Christopher) Kurth, and grandsons David Kurth (26) and Adam Kurth (23) of Scottsdale, Arizona. She is also survived by 11 beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. Moyne was preceded in death by her husband John, with whom she shared 64 years of marriage, her sister Sandra Lea McDaniel, and her brother James Douglas Schofield.

Visitation will be held at Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th St. S, Independence, MO 64055, on Thursday, July 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. She will be laid to rest at Rose Hill Cemetery in Lamoni, Iowa, with a graveside service on Friday, July 26, at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Children's Organ Transplant Association in honor of Adam Kurth at https://cota.org/cotaforadamk/.

She was also very active in advocacy for the handicapped, participating in efforts in the 1960’s and 70’s that led to the establishment of a school for the severely handicapped in Jackson County, as well as group homes and the sheltered workshop.
