S7E16: God's intent is to bring you home (feat. Greg Matsen)
Description
Matthew sits down with Greg Matsen from the Cwic Show to discuss Elder Patrick Kearon's first apostolic address; "God’s Intent Is to Bring You Home." It's a beautiful, moving testimony to the love of God, but don't mistakenly think that Elder Kearon is downplaying our responsibilities or the divine law of justice. This is a powerful talk that fully embraced both divine mercy and divine justice.

Joseph Smith describing language as a "little, narrow prison"
Pres. Nelson, Feb 2003: "While divine love can be called perfect, infinite, enduring, and universal, it cannot correctly be characterized as unconditional. The word does not appear in the scriptures. On the other hand, many verses affirm that the higher levels of love the Father and the Son feel for each of us—and certain divine blessings stemming from that love—are conditional."
