Heartland Meeting - Thursday, March 19, 2026

 Heartland Meeting - Thursday, March 19, 2026

Fellow Heartlanders,

This month we will meet and watch two very informative videos indicating Hebrew ancestry in some of our North American Indian Tribes, and the DNA marker that links some Northern American Indians with a community in northern Israel.

We will learn how writings discovered on artifacts found in the United States are similar to ancient Hebrew and other Middle-Eastern writings. And we will see the similarity between the writing of the Micmac Indians and the writing that was copied from the Anthon Transcript. 

There are many parallels between the present-day Jewish customs and festivals and those of the North American Indians. We will even hear what some tribes say about their ancestry and how that aligns with those who traveled to North America in the Book of Mormon.

We have a few scriptures in which Joseph Smith Jr. shed light as to where the people of the Book of Mormon were.  He gave a revelation to the Saints to purchase land in July 1831 here in the Center Place and westward “unto the line running directly between Jew and Gentile.” D&C 57:1e.  And when Joseph referred to the Land of Missouri, it was on “the borders of the Lamanites.” D&C 54:2b. 

As a prophet, Joseph Smith Jr. knew where the descendants of the Book of Mormon were and so he directed the first mission of the church be to Native American Tribes living in the eastern United States. Come and learn more about how similar the North American Indians are to the Hebrews in the Book of Mormon.

Hope you can join us. Everyone is welcome!

LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD MARCH 12, 2026

 

LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD MARCH 12, 2026

 

Nearing mid-March greetings to the dear Saints of God,

 

I’m sure many of the “Aged” Saints remember the Daily Bread book of devotions. I want to share a couple of short items from that book of devotions. Consider these things as you live daily in the Kingdom of God.

 

1. Flying a kite is not only fun, but it also makes for an interesting study. The wind alone does not cause it to fly nor does the structure of the kite. Actually, it is the kite string which plays the most vital role in the flying function.

 

The string which permits the kite to soar high also holds it under control. To release the kite string would not mean freedom for the kite but would insure its destruction. Only as the kite is held under control is it free to fly.

 

That is the way it is with people. Only as we are under God’s control and live by His commandments as we live in His kingdom, are we free to live kingdom lives. The inward control of God is the same thing which gives us liberty with His assurance.

 

2. In the nineteen eighties, a popular bumper sticker was, “Let Me Tell You About Jesus.” It would be interesting to know if anyone ever took the owner of the vehicle up on their challenge. If so, would the answer be a concise statement that Jesus Christ died, arose, and eternally lives? Or, are those who would tell the world about Jesus able to point to their own lives as a reflection of Jesus and say, “Having seen me in action in serving people as Jesus did you have seen the Messiah”?

 

Living the gospel in such a way is a full-time responsibility and surely would be the ultimate definition of Jesus. It is the goal for which every Saint should strive, for when the Lord lives through the committed lives of His people His earthly Kingdom will indeed be perfected.

 

Do we live so close to the Lord today, Passing to and fro on life’s busy way

That the world in us can a likeness see To the Man of Calvary?


Can the world see Jesus in me? Can the world see Jesus in you?
Does your love to Him ring true, and your life and service, too?
Can the world see Jesus in me and you?

 

God be with you,

all the way,

every day

Paul Gage
