It has been a long gap since we posted the Spring GA videos but we have had a lot happen in that short space of time. The work is going forward and we are having lots of feed back form the Spring GA witch is great. We have had the opportunity to get Apostle Elder David Smith to answer some questions that were emailed to us the video for that is found below. We have also updated the GA with the remaining minutes of the Assembly for you all to see. We would also like to thank everyone for their positive comments made on the email and on you tube. May we also take the time to thank all those that leave negative comments as well, because the more we have of those the more we know that this work is what the lord wills, we welcome all forms of communication but if you have nothing constructive to add then please refrain form leaving comment as this takes up the time form people who leave constructive comments or criticism. Once again may God Bless you in the coming week.

Q&A with Apostle Elder David Smith

This Sunday just gone on the 11th of May 2008 The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ had its Spring General Assembly.

Another week has gone by and it has been a wonderful week for the church with the baptism of Michael Clarke. For this weeks blog we have added the video of the baptism for you all to see. God Bless.

Firstly we would like to thank all those that have been emailing us and sending questions to be raised on the video presentations, we thank you for your continued support and your help, God bless you.
Well it has been one of the most exciting weeks that the church has had for a long time. On Sunday just gone we had and investigator meet with us and after our services and a meeting with the prophet he has decided to be baptised. Michael our investigator is a wonderful person who will bring a lot to the church. He has a spirit that shouts out with the love of the Lord, I’m sure that Michael will be a wonderful member and brother, we look forward to working and worshipping with him. Michael’s baptism will take place on Sunday the 27th of April and of course it promises to be a wonderful event.
The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ also has its first General Assembly of the year coming up on the 4th of May. The General Assembly which is the first one of the year always promises to be a wonderful event which sets out the year’s goals and aspirations for the year. If you wish to come to the general assembly then please call in advance for the start time.
This week we will not be having a video presentation that will continue next week however we would like to share with you a wonderful poem written by the Prophet Jospeh Smith-

This poem was published in the Church's official paper, the Times and Seasons on February 1, 1843. In this poem it tells of a vision that Joseph had had, Joseph had beheld a heavenly vision in which he was shown the condition of those individuals who inherit Celestial Glory. He tells of having been given the knowledge that they who attain Celestial Glory will be "equal in power, dominion and might, with a fullness of glory and grace, round Heavenly Father's throne."
Not only was Joseph’s vision and poem made available to the Church members in America, but it was also published in Liverpool, England, in the Church's paper, The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star for August 1843, it was also printed in New York City in the New York Herald.

Joseph's Poem in Its Entirety
I will go, I will go, to the home of the Saints Celestial Glory,Where the virtue's the value, and life the reward;But before I return to my former estateI must fulfil the mission I had from the Lord....
I, Joseph, the prophet, in spirit beheld,And the eyes of the inner man truly did seeEternity sketch'd in a vision from God,Of what was, and now is, and yet is to be....
For while in the act of translating his word [producing the Inspired Version],Which the Lord in his grace had appointed to me,I came to the gospel recorded by John,Chapter fifth and the twenty ninth verse, which you'll see.
Which was given as follows:"Speaking of the resurrection of the dead,—"Concerning those who shall hear the voice of "the son of man—"And shall come forth:—"They who have done good in the resurrection "of the just."And they who have done evil in the resurrection "of the unjust."
I marvel'd at these resurrections, indeed!For it came unto me by the spirit direct:—And while I did meditate what it all meant, The Lord touched the eyes of my own intellect....
I beheld the celestial, in glory sublime; Which is the most excellent kingdom that is,—Where God, e'en the Father, in harmony reigns; Almighty, supreme, and eternal, in bliss.
Where the church of the first born in union reside,And they see as they're seen, and they know as they're known;Being equal in power, dominion and might,With a fullness of glory and grace, round his throne.
(Times and Seasons 4 February 1, 1843 also The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star 4 August 1843 and the New York Herald March 8, 1843)

God Bless you all for your continued viewing of the blog. we are sorry fpr any problems the last artical may have casued but we hope that this peopm makes up for what was a clerical oversight.

Hello and welcome once again to this weeks blog. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is working toward a lot of goals at the moment and the work that we are about is progressing nicely. We have had a lot of emails and lot of people viewing last week’s video by Elder Philip Gill. This week Elder Gill is doing a video presentation with regards to Zion’s camp. Elder Phil Gill a presiding officer in The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ makes a fresh appeal for funds for the establishment of Zion’s Camp and also talks about the topic of responsible husbandry of the earth.

We have had a magnificent week with people coming forward and contacting us with regards to joining the church. We are going to be having an investigator come and meet with us on the 13th of April and hopefully God willing he will feel the Spirit and join the church. We are just so overjoyed that someone has heard the message and they have felt the Spirit and they have felt that Matthew Gill our Prophet is called of God. Once again we call on all those that are in the LDS (Utah) Church and the other Mormon and Christan denominations that feel that they have been ignored or feel disenfranchised and feel that they have lost that personal connection with the Saviour Jesus Christ to come and talk to us and join with us, we have a lot to offer and we can give you back that personal relationship with Christ. It is great and overwhelming to know that the work that the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr started is finally being continued and is being appreciated, and that it is being done here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ.

We hope that Elder Philip Gill appeals for money for Zion’s Camp do not go unheard and that you donate. If you desire to donate please go to paypal and donate tan amount that you feel is appropriate. Please donate it to latterdaychurchofchrist2006@yahoo.co.uk marking it for the attention of Zion’s Camp fund.

God bless you all and have a wonderful week. Next week Apostle David Smith will be making a video presentation, please look out for that.
An Appeal for Funds for Zions Camp

We hope you have had a great Easter and that you were able to spend some of that time reflecting on the saviour and turning your thoughts to what Easter is all about. The ester and Passover celebrations here we very good and we had a wonderful Sunday sacrament meeting where all the talks were based on the Easter story and the saviour’s atonement.

As promised Elder Phil Gill was able to do a video and we have pasted here along with this weeks blog. It is the first time that someone other than the Prophet has done a video so we hope that there will be questions sent to the email, and that it will generate some interest. The church is progressing very well and the wok is getting done the message is being spread and people are becoming engaged. Wonderful things are happening with revelation being given on a daily basis. The Apostle David Smith was given a dream from the Lord last week and the Prophet had a fulfilment of a revelation this week, so the Lord is working his mighty miracle and everything is coming together just as the Lord promises it will. We hope you enjoy the new video presentation given by Elder Phil Gill. God bless you throughout this week.

A Personal testimony From Elder Philip Gill

Hello every one, we hope that the last week has been good to you and that you have been blessed by the Lord. Well it is that time of year again when we celebrate the death and resurrection of the Saviour Jesus Christ. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ hold's this time of year in great reverence and we believe that it is a very special time of year when the Lord gave us a wonderful blessing and gave us the chance to have our sins forgiven and to triumph over death. We would like to remind everyone what this time of year is all about, it’s not about the Eggs and the Easter Bunny but about the Saviour and his life and work. Have a great Easter and Passover holiday bearing in mind what this time of year is all about, please remember to keep it reverent and give some time during this busy holiday to remembering the Saviour and the great gift that he gave at this time.

We hope that you are enjoying the video presentations and that you feel that you are gaining something form watching them. This week’s video is a return to the normal run of the mill topics that we started on. However we would still love to hear form you, if you have nay questions or comments that you feel that you would like to make then please contact us and we will pass it on to get attention on the video presentations. We are hoping to get other members to talk about there experiences and their testimonies on the videos and that should start form next week, Our fist One should be done by Elder Philip Gill, so if all goes well that will be a nice change.

Once again we are calling on all those people and you may be one of them , that feel lost in the other Mormon churches or in any Christen faiths to come and talk to us we have a great deal to offer and we know that we can fulfil your life and fill those gaps that you have been experiencing. Please get in touch with us we would love to hear form you. Well have a great week and a wonderful Easter and Passover holiday, God Bless

Beliefs Part One

Beliefs Part Two

Hello and welcome once again to the official blog site for The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. To the right you will see one of the first batch of pictures that has been done for the children's Book of Jeraneck by the Artist lettmann, I'm sure you will all agree that it is exceptional work that she is doing for us. Well as i said another week and another video presentation. We have been inundated with questions over the last week and the Prophet has chosen a just a few of those questions to answer on the video presentation, we hope that the answers that have been given have been done in a way that is easy to understand. The Prophet of the church has dealt with some issues on this week video blog that we believe needed answering and getting out in to the wider world.

We hope that you continue to send in your questions and as the Prophet has said in his video presentation that if you feel that there is something missing in your life, a void that never seems to be filled, that you will come and join with us in worshiping the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. To those of you that are among the LDS(Utah) faith that feel that they have been disenfranchised or who feel that there needs are not being met will come to us so that we can add to your belief and fulfil your needs, the gospel of the Saviour Jesus Christ is here and it is alive today in The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. God bless you all and have great weekend

Q&A On The Word of Wisdom part one


Q&A On The Word of Wisdom Part Two

Well another week has gone by and the church continues to go from strength to strength. We have had a lot of people emailing us over the last couple of weeks leaving questions and enquiring about the church and what we are doing and what we believe in. The Prophet has taken a few of those questions and he has done a video post in order to answer some of them in person, that video address can be found here on the blog site and also on youtube as well.

The church has also commissioned Doris Lettmann to do some more Art work to go in to the children’s version of the Book of Jeraneck. So far the work that she has done has been wonderful and it looks as if the pictures are really going to catch the children’s eye, she is a wonderful artist and we thank her for her continued work that she is doing.

Zion’s Camp is hopefully going to become a reality this year with the church planning to purchase some land. If any one is interested they can email us about Zion’s Camp, if you are interested in coming and living at Zion’s Camp then please contact us and we will talk you through what you need to do. We are also still asking for donations to be made to the church for its continued missionary programme and its foundation of Zion’s Camp, please give what you can to the church, your seed will be planted and the harvest will be great.

So we hope that you enjoy the video’s, please keep your comments and emails coming. God Bless and have a great week.
Questions & Answers Part One


Questions & Answers Part Two

Once again we have another video blog. This week has been very unique in as much as we have had two video posts. Today’s video post is in direct response to a video that was posted on youtube called: - A Curious Dilemma for Mormons: The Book of Jeraneck. Although the video was very good and did not portray the church in a savoury light there were some things that the Prophet needed to clear up hence the video response. We have not only put them on youtube but also on the blog so that those who keep updated with the blog will be able to watch them here. If you would like to know more or are interested in joining the church or if you have any questions that you wish to ask then please email your requests to us and we will try our best to answer them in double quick time.

God bless you all and have a great weekend.

It seems that the greater the work the greater the persecution is. This week we have had our share of both good and very bad responses to our video presentations both here on the blog and on youtube. Let me first start by thanking our friends all over the world for their support and their help it is very much appreciated and we welcome your help and your friendship, God Bless you.
As for our persecutors and those who wish us ill we pray for you and we hope that your hearts may be softened and that you will learn to show more Christ like attributes in your life and also that you might read a little more in to your articles of faith in particular number eleven which says, "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may".... Many of our persecutors are once again form the LDS church in Utah, it would seem that they have once again chosen to forget that their own church allows people the right to worship how were and what they may…. We do not know why but they seem to have a problem with any other religious group other than their own. We understand that you may not like what we are doing but then again we don’t like what you are doing but we don’t offend the leaders of your church every week with hate mail. It would seem that although they claim to be lovers of the saviour and the gospel that they are in truth further away form it than they would like to admit. Moving on, this week has been wonderful. We have had many people enquiring about the church and enquiring about baptism. The Lord is truly blessing his little flock at this moment in time.
This weeks the video presentation is on Zion’s Camp. Please enjoy the presentation and please keep your email coming. Have great week, God Bless.

Hello once again and welcome to another church blog. We would like to thank all those people that have made comments about last week’s video blog in particular our friends in Australia. Once again as promised we have posted another video blog. We shall be posting a video blog every week until further notice. The Video blogs will outline our beliefs and our doctrines. This week our Prophet Matthew Gill will be talking about the book of Jeraneck and what it is all about. Please enjoy this week’s video and please keep those comments coming. Next weeks blog will be on Zion’s camp among other things. God Bless.

Welcome once again to this weeks blog. As promised here is the first of what we hope will be many videos outlining the beliefs and doctrines of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ.






In other News. Today we received the Second Edition of The Book of Jeraneck from the publishers. We will be dispatching them as soon as possible to all those that have placed orders for them. If you wish to purchase a Book of Jeraneck then please go http://www.bookofjeraneck.co.uk/ from there you can place your order. God Bless and have wonderful week.

Hi and welcome to all who have found our blog site. This week’s blog will be something a little different. There will not be a normal post this week, as we are going to be given an informal video from our Prophet Matthew Gill that will be posted later this week. In this video presentation the Prophet talks about Zion’s Camp and the role that it will play in the church and also about how the Last Days and events that are happening around us are a fulfilment of Prophesy. We will hopefully have the video posted by the end of the week.

We are encouraging every one that reads this blog to help us in our efforts by talking to us and asking questions, we want to be able to post a video response at least every month to questions that we are asked and also to act as a call all those that are still undecided to come and join with us in building the kingdom of God and also in building Zion’s Camp. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ wants your membership and we want you to join with us.

God Bless you all and we hope that you enjoy the video presentation, keep an eye out for it.

Happy New year to Each And Every One of You.

2007 was a wonderful year for the church which was capped of wonderfully with the Winter General Assembly meeting, which was a wonderful success. The Winter General Assembly can be seen our youtube page.

2008 promises to be a good year for the church with the completion of the second Edition of The Book of Jeraneck soon to be with us and the Book of Prophesies and Revelation also soon to be with us. It is a year that as already brought reward to our small but faithful people. Already in 2008 we have been inundated with emails from people all over the world wanting to know more about us and wanting to get hold of Book of Jeraneck, so all in all the start to 2008 look’s good.

This year we have a plan in force to get a few things done. They are, establishing Zion’s Camp, getting the children’s version of the Book of Jeraneck completed, the churches mission to Tibet and India completed and on track and also the new version of the Bible to be finished and ready to use.

So once again we would like you to keep watching and contacting us as this year should be a great one indeed.

I found the following story and I thought that it would be great to include in this weeks blog. I hope that you like it, we all did. God bless you in your week and may his countenance shine upon you.

A Childs Hug

We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly sitting and talking. Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and said, 'Hi.' He pounded his fat baby hands on the high chair tray. His eyes were crinkled in laughter and his mouth was bared in a toothless grin, as he wriggled and giggled with merriment.
I looked around and saw the source of his merriment. It was a man whose pants were baggy with a zipper at half-mast and his toes poked out of would-be shoes. His shirt was dirty and his hair was uncombed and unwashed. His whiskers were too short to be called a beard and his nose was so varicose it looked like a road map.
We were too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled. His hands waved and flapped on loose wrists. 'Hi there, baby; hi there, big boy. I see ya, buster,' the man said to Erik.
My husband and I exchanged looks, 'What do we do?'
Erik continued to laugh and answer, 'Hi.'
Everyone in the restaurant noticed and looked at us and then at the man. The old geezer was creating a nuisance with my beautiful baby. Our meal came and the man began shouting from across the room, 'Do ya patty cake? Do you know peek-a-boo? Hey, look, he knows peek- a-boo.'
Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was obviously drunk.
My husband and I were embarrassed. We ate in silence; all except for Erik, who was running through his repertoire for the admiring skid-row bum, who in turn, reciprocated with his cute comments.
We finally got through the meal and headed for the door. My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man sat poised between me and the door. 'Lord, just let me out of here before he speaks to me or Erik,' I prayed. As I drew closer to the man, I turned my back trying to sidestep him and avoid any air he might be breathing. As I did, Erik leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in a baby's 'pick-me-up' position. Before I could stop him, Erik had propelled himself from my arms to the man.
Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love and kinship. Erik in an act of total trust, love, and submission laid his tiny head upon the man's ragged shoulder. The man's eyes closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged hands full of grime, pain, and hard labor, cradled my baby's bottom and stroked his back. No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time.
I stood awestruck. The old man rocked and cradled Erik in his arms and his eyes opened and set squarely on mine. He said in a firm commanding voice, 'You take care of this baby.'
Somehow I managed, 'I will,' from a throat that contained a tone.
He pried Erik from his chest, lovingly and longingly, as though he were in pain. I received my baby, and the man said, 'God bless you, ma'am, you've given me my Christmas gift.'
I said nothing more than a muttered thanks. With Erik in my arms, I ran for the car. My husband was wondering why I was crying and holding Erik so tightly, and why I was saying, 'My God, my God, forgive me.'
I had just witnessed Christ's love shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who made no judgment; a child who saw a soul, and a mother who saw a suit of clothes. I was a Christian who was blind, holding a child who was not. I felt it was God asking, 'Are you willing to share your son for a moment?' when He shared His for all eternity.
The ragged old man, unwittingly, had reminded me, 'To enter the Kingdom of God , we must become as little children.'
If this has blessed you, please bless others by sending it on. Sometimes, it takes a child to remind us of what is really important. We must always remember who we are, where we came from and, most importantly, how we feel about others. The clothes on your back or the car that you drive or the house that you live in does not define you at all; it is how you treat your fellow man that identifies who you are.

Merry Christmass

&

A Happy New Year

As the Prophet of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ I have the pleasure of giving this month’s blog post. Once again the most significant time of year is upon us. We are now in the month of December wherein we celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. It is a wonderful time of year that touches so many people in so many different ways. As Christians it touches us in a way that only Christmas can. Christmas is a wonderful time of year and one can feel its presents all through the month of December, it is a testament of the birth of Christ and stands, still in this day and age the most important time in the Christian calendar.

I know that although Christ was not born on December the 25th it gives us a time, a date that we can dedicate to that most beautiful and wonderful event that ushered in the earthy probation of the Saviour, and how wonderful to know that when we give gifts at this time of year we do it in remembrance of the gifts that Christ received. I know that when I awake on Christmas morning with my wife and son that the first thing we shall do is give thanks to Christ for all that he has done for us and dedicate that day to him, for without Christ there is no Christmas. As I do every year and have done since he was born, I will take my son, a couple of days before the 25th to give a toy to a little boy and girl who are without and in that he will learn that it is that act that Christ taught, to give without expecting anything in return.

As many people will be aware the church has a winter General Assembly meeting on the 16th of December, we have scheduled our winter GA to take place in December so that we may remember what it is we are here for, to glory in the name of Christ and what better way to do that than to do it in this most special month, and to dedicate our winter GA to the Christ.

On behalf of all the members of The latter day Church of Jesus Christ I wish you a very happy Christmas and leave you with this thought, at this time of year when you are all caught up in opening brightly wrapped gifts and you are tucking in to your Christmas feast to spare a thought to those how have not, spare a thought to your estranged family members who you have not spoken to in many a year, for therein lies the spirit of Christmas, therein lies what Christmas is all about, it is the spirit of Christ himself. Call your family members tell them that you love them despite your disagreements, give a gift to someone who is going without, help them, and show them real Christ like spirit. It is this wonderful year that shows us that we can believe and we can be like Christ if only for a short time. If we can do that then we can carry that with us through out the year and let that spirit shine forth every day of the year thought out our lives.

In the words of Tiny Tim “God Bless us Every One” As the Prophet of the church I would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. see you the new year.

Our General Assembly meeting approaches the 16th of December is the date that has been set aside for our winter GA and we are all looking forward to it very much. We hope that you will be able to join with us and come and partake of the spirit at winter GA.

The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is a place where the gospel of Jesus Christ and the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the Prophet Joseph Smith can be talked about freely. We would like to ask all of you who have a belief based around Joseph Smith to re-examine what you believe. We are not here to slam any one or what they believe we are however a church that proselytes and we feel it our duty to talk to every one about the gospel no matter what age or colour you are. We have been bomb barded again this week by what can only be called malicious and unprovoked attacks upon what we believe in, we have given no one course to do this, we have not commanded any one to join us rather we have given then the freedom to choose for them selves what they believe in. I feel that I need to remind every body what The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is all about and I’m sorry to say that no matter what we put on this blog site there will always be those that disagree with what we are saying and what we believe, we don’t mind that, what we do mind is people being hateful and un-Christ like about the whole thing. We will continue to talk and teach and preach until we are told not to do so by that particular person, and even then we will still talk about Christ as he is our Saviour no matter if you believe other wise. We love every one, we may not like what you do but we love you never the less. To all those that say that they are comfortable with what they believe or are just comfortable going to a church without really knowing if what they are doing is true or not. We say this. You must re-examine what you re doing! To feel comfortable is fine but when you attach yourself to a church that clams to be the “ONLY TRUE CHURCH” you had better be more than just comfortable you must have a knowledge and know what you are attaching yourself to is true and form God. We hope that we may continue to talk and discuss in a manner which is pleasing unto God without having to resort to hatred and unchristian like attitudes.

The proposed date to get the second editions out to people is as some of you will be ware a little sketchy at the moment due to a problem at the printers….we are working one it!

God bless you all and may god shine upon you. Amen.

Hello and welcome once again. Well another week has gone by and it is drawing ever closer to Christmas a very special time of year for all Christians and believers. For The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ December is a very special month as not only do we celebrate the birth of the Saviour but we also have our winter General Assembly meeting. Our winter GA is a time for the church to gather together and invite others to join with us. The winter GA this year is to be held on the 16th of December at ten o’clock in the morning. This year’s winter GA will be focusing on the birth and childhood f the Saviour Jesus Christ so this is a great time for our members to invite others to come and join with us.

For all those that have ordered the second edition of the Book of Jeraneck we have some bad news. The book that was due for completion at the printers by the end of November has had to be put back a couple of weeks due to their being a problem at the printers. Once again we apologise for nay inconvenience this may course but we are endeavouring to get the books dispatched before Christmas, once again please accept our deepest apologies and if you wish to contact us about this issue then please feel free to get in touch with us via the email.

We feel that we need to state our position on a few things before we go any further with this post this week. A couple of questions have been asked of us this week and an answer is needed to clear up any misunderstanding. Firstly we believe in the Saviour Jesus Christ, so much so that his name is in the title of our church. We believe Joseph Smith was and still is a Prophet of God. We believe that Joseph Smith did not call a successor to the Prophetic seat in his life time upon the earth. We believe that Brigham Young was not called of God to lead the remnant of the church. We believe that all those that stood and said they had been chosen to lead the church after Joseph’s death did so without the blessing of the Lord. We believe that the revelation that Joseph had at Carthage gaol before he died came true, in which the church was torn apart from within. We do not condone polygamy we see it as unscriptural and unsupportable in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon and we see its practise as a sin. We do not have any ties with the LDS church in Utah neither do we wish any, although they proclaim to be the church that was established by Joseph Smith this is unsupportable and that claim is made by all the churches that were established at the time of Joseph’s death once again fulfilling prophesy given to the Prophet Joseph Smith before he died. We see it as our holy mission to bring all Gods children into this church The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ, and to bring them to a knowledge of Joseph Smiths original teachings and to bring them to a knowledge of the Book of Jeraneck. We believe that the Book of Jeraneck is a holy book of scripture just as the Bible and the Book of Mormon. We believe That Matthew Philip Gill was called by God to be a Prophet of God and to lead the Lords church. We do not believe in forcing people to join our church or tricking them in to doing so by promising things that are not true. However we do believe that it is our right to talk to people and to try and teach them the gospel of Christ.

As we have previously stated on other blog posts until the end of the year we will be asking for donations to the Zion’s Camp fund.

We hope that all that have read this week’s blog post will have been uplifted and we hope that you have felt the spirit. We would like to welcome all of you to attend our winter GA on the 16th of December and join with us in celebrating the birth and childhood of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

It has been a wonderful week all round for the church what with people talking to us and expressing there desire to be untied with us and their desire to help us in the work. We have some exciting news for everybody. It has been decided by the Prophet Matthew Gill that we shall make our sacrament meetings available on the internet. The Prophet has proposed that all Sacrament meetings shall be recorded and posted on our youtube page. It has also been decided that if people want to join us live then they can do so by logging on at a certain time on Sunday morning and joining us for the meeting live in real time. Also our General Assembly meeting which is set for the 16th of December will also be done in the same way, we will make an announcement before hand letting everybody know when to log on and you can join us live for our General Assembly meetingon the 16th od December, however it will also be available on our youtube site as will all our Sunday sacrament meetings. With the use of modern technology we believe that it is only fair that those who are not able to get to the meeting house can join in and feel the love of the Saviour and hear the Gospel.

Once again we would like to dedicate a little bit of this blog space to the cause of Zion’s Camp and what we believe that we should be doing to serve Gods purposes here on earth. We the members of the Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ as you are aware have been commanded to build a safe refuge for the storms that are coming at this place of refuge we will be looking to create a new social order of peace built upon the laws of God. In this life no one has the right to be cold or nasty to his neighbour. Malice, put-downs and payback will be foreign to our way of life. The love that we shall try to institute will restrain us form striving to take advantage of one another, form turning our backs on one another when the times get hard.

All of you know that this world and its way of doing things encourage everyone to be responsible for his own life and the lives of their family. They make you think that once you have food, clothing and a place to live then it is okay to try and be nice to your neighbour, however they still put limits on how nice you can be or how much you can talk and what is acceptable, now matter how many laws they pass to try and make you unite as a community there are still barriers, for instance one person has his group of friends, another a different set, someone else another set, most family cant even sit down together to eat a meal without fighting and trying to get one over on someone else.

We want to create a new society were this is not the case. We have been given the building blocks for this new society were the chains of fear and guilt and hatred that bind us can be broken. The new order we are talking about is not ideal, its real. Ideal societies are the playground of the dreamer and the intellectuals of this world, not one person has ever built an ideal world or society that works. In fact there is not a location on this earth were you can observe an ideal society, all those society’s that profess to be ideal are all based on the laws of men and those laws can only limit evil not create virtue and godliness. Zion’s camp will not be perfect, but God has given us the plans and building blocks to get it done and make it real and living. In Zion’s Camp we will be able to shake of the natural man who is an enemy to God and has been since the fall of Adam and we will be able to forgive each other and press on toward the goal and that goal is that one day we will be able to stand at the feet of our saviour.

All the Prophets of the ancient times have spoken of a new order a new social order in which all things are restored. Joseph Smith established many places in America many places were this new order could take hold, but the people failed him they weren’t ready to live up to the laws of Kirkland, Kirtland was the first place were God established his vision for his people that vision that Joseph was given to fulfil was to establish a living place of God were his laws were real and meant something in peoples lives. But it is possible for Gods people to build a place were man can dwell at one with God, were the laws of the creator can be paramount in our hearts, were children need to be exposed to hate and fear where families can live together in peace and harmony. Many people reading this will not be able to see the difference between Zion’s Camp and any other idea that describes utopian ideals some will feel that its is to good to be true. But there are those of you who are ready to do the will of the Lord and you will know weather this is actually gods plan and that Gods wants his children to live in a place of love and peace you will know weather or not this is just something that we have made up or weather it truly is Gods will. Remember the city of Enoch that was translated remember that in that place there was no poor among them they truly were the sons and daughters of God. And now the Lord has asked that we do it again, that we establish this place for a refuge for all those that are seeking this new life. Read Luke 9:23 and take in your hearts what it says... If you desire to live a self sacrificing life of love, to experience the deep soul satisfaction doing what God wants and serving his law and doing what we were created for then Zion’s camp is for you.

If you want to see such a place built then please make a donation, pledge your money to help buy the land and build the buildings and put your name forward to come and join with us in Zion’s Camp and make it a reality for the benefit of all those that are seeking a better way of life, free from persecution, war, hunger, poverty and hatred. As the statue of liberty says "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
