When it comes to the Law of Consecration, most members of the Church only know that in the temple we covenant to obey it. But aside from that their understanding all but evaporates.

Ezra Taft Benson declared, “No true Latter-day Saint can be a Communist or a Socialist” This post dives into why this statement is true.
Many Evangelicals see our doctrinal differences as enough to even make the claim we believe in a “different Jesus”.
What happens when we are asked by the brethren to do something we don’t agree with? What happens when their counsel challenges our politics or social views? That is when it is hard to follow our leaders. And I had that happen to me this weekend.
