Well, ya heard it hear first...or maybe you heard it here second...ok, so I was a few hours behind the curve of listening to Elder Bednar's BYU Education Week message in which he has called each and every one of us to "sweep the Earth as with a flood," by sharing the gospel through social media online.
He said what has been shared is a good start, but only the beginning. I have felt for a while and mentioned to friends that I don't think we can even envision what this gospel will become through the use of online missionary work and by letting our faith show. The Lord knows though, and apparently, so do his prophets. And from the content of Elder Bednar's talk, the prophets have seen it coming for a while now.
So, we've been given the green light, officially, by Elder Bednar to sweep the earth. If you've been holding back...you don't have to any longer!
I know from personal experience through my own Facebook page that sharing your faith gets easier the more that you do it. The spirit becomes your companion in the work to help you know what to say and to steer you safely through. I encourage you to watch Elder Bednar's talk and continue your efforts to share the gospel online.
I think sweeping the earth is going to come more naturally for me than sweeping my kitchen. It's way more fun anyway!
great idea, I can do more on my blog and facebook page. I also write a weekly column for the senior community...
