LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD APRIL 3, 2025
LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD APRIL 3, 2025
Greetings and Blessings to the Saints around the world,
April 6! Truly a day to remember. It is a possibility
that Jesus Christ was born as well as resurrected on April 6. We all should be
keenly aware that the Church of Jesus Christ was organized on April 6, 1830 and
Reorganized on April 6, 1860. All of these events were designed by God, in the
Beginning, to assist in bringing forth His Kingdom on the earth.
Many Saints as well as other people have sought the
Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven for many years. The time seems to be
drawing very close to the return of our Lord which, in turn, would establish
the Kingdom. Our task, as it has always been, is to prepare ourselves for the
return of Jesus so that we may have a place in that Kingdom. The task of being
“in the world, but not of it” is most challenging to each of us because we all
have different perspectives of what that phrase means to us.
Jesus made it very clear in so many, if not all of His
parables. In the parable of the Sower, those who planted the seed (Word of God)
not only heard the word, but took action to nourish the seed or in other words,
did what Jesus said to do. In the parable of the building a house on rock or
sand is the same. Hear and obey God’s word and your house is on the Rock. Hear
and do not obey, your house is on the sand.
The parable of the Ten Virgins is unique. They all knew
what they were going to. They all knew how things transpired in a Jewish
wedding. That is that only the father (God) determines when the bridegroom goes
to get his bride. This could be a very long time, and thus all Ten went to
sleep.
All the parables of Jesus have a spiritual aspect to them
as well as a physical aspect. The oil, in this parable is spiritual oil, which
is described in Doctrine and Covenants 45:10 b-d. The five wise ones could not
give the five foolish of their spiritual oil because we each one must obtain
our own oil so when the message comes, at midnight, “Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet Him,” we will be prepared.
We know God gave man his agency in the Garden for one
main reason, to chose Him as our Father. He has told us repeatedly what the
greatest commandment is, To Love Him with all our heart, might, mind and
strength and that all the other commandments hang on that One. To love God with
our all takes a great deal of desire, effort, diligence and conscious awareness
of how our life can be when we love Him with our all and what it is like every
day when we love Him less than we do many other things.
This Sunday is April 6th. Many Saints will
have the opportunity to share in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper this Sunday
on the Anniversary of of the Restoration and Reorganization of the Church of
Jesus Christ. Through the grace, mercy, and love of God, we have His promise to
be cleansed of our sins, all those things we allow to separate us from Him, and
be free in His power. May we truly choose God as our Father. As we continue our
efforts of “living in the Kingdom of God” may we so live that we will be ready
to enter into the wedding feast with the Bridegroom (JESUS).
The Lord bless and keep you.

ZIONWORKS NEWS for MARCH 26, 2025
ZIONWORKS NEWS for MARCH 26, 2025
Hello friends,
After days of prayer and writing, the computer or the document program selectively deleted vital portions of the newsletter. I have now spent more than ten hours trying to recover and reconstruct it. It was full of vital and exciting info. Fortunately I have it saved on an email to myself, but it is not in its final copy or proof-read and my ability to stay awake and get it all ready to send is depleted and I don’t trust this computer for one more try at this time. Here’s an idea and I think it is a good one. I will save its contents to present and discuss at this coming Sunday’s meeting, including a video or two. It truly is an exciting topic (Powerful Prophecies Today) and an exciting prophetic time to be alive. So I am looking forward to a very interesting and productive time at the meeting including some interesting discussion and exchange of ideas in addition to the necessary items we must tend to for moving Zion to the fore for Christ and his pure-in-heart. Spread the news of Zion and invite friends. Here are some upcoming events to look forward to:

Catherine Eileen Fox - Obituary
Catherine Eileen Fox
November 21, 1965 — March 18, 2025
Catherine Eileen Fox passed away peacefully on March 18th, 2025. Cathy was born on November 21, 1965 in Independence, Missouri to Nancy and Walter Fox.
She graduated from Lakeview Woods State School (a special education public school for the disabled) in the class of 1987.
Cathy was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ restored in 1830 a branch from the RLDS Church. She was baptized and raised in a family in the faith.
Cathy was a loving aunt, sister, and daughter. She grew up with her nieces and nephews and great nephew. She was taken care of by her mother Nancy Glauner and her niece Angel Fox for several years before her health required a fully-equipped care facility. Cathy loved to spend her time coloring in her coloring books, watching her shows from Scooby Doo, The Three Stooges, Life in the ER, and the Golden Girls. She loved listening to music on her CD player and humming along with tracks from Celctic Women and Luciano Pavarotti and her hymns during church. She loved spending time with her family and looked forward to her weekly outings riding in the car through the countryside and taking in all the views around her small hometown. She touched the hearts of so many. She was a child in a woman's body full of nothing, but love and just pure genuine happiness. She was a light in the lives of all of those who knew her.
Cathy is survived by her sister Sarah Sieker, her nieces and nephews: Axle Fox, Angel Fox, Annie Fox, and Angus Fox, and her great nephew Aeden Smith, her aunts Carol Cain and Linda Doran, her stepsiblings on her stepfather’s side Raymond Glauner, Mark Glauner, Tommy Glauner, Diana Herald, and Deborah Steinke.
Cathy is preceded in death by her Father Walter Fox, her step father Nolan Glauner, her mother Nancy Glauner, her brother John Fox Sr., her nephew John Fox Jr, her aunt JoAnne Benjamin, her uncles Harry Hilsinger Benjamin and John Masten, and her grandparents George and Mary Gee.
