I appreciate all your work and messages but, as an ordained minister I don't often think, WOW! What wonderful insight!, when you discuss scripture. But I did today. Wonderful and timely message. One I hope is taken to heart. Thank you for this today.

Thank you for posting this message Keith. It’s like this message was meant for me, I needed to hear this. Leading the security team at my church I feel a lot of pressure especially during the holidays and hearing this really helped. Bless you, my brother, and have a Merry Christmas. ❤️

A very timely message, Keith. Thank you for reminding us who "really" keeping watch as we stand in the gap.

Excellent. The Bible warns us many times to stay alert

Thanks Keith for this message. I am getting some resistance from my family who keep asking me why don’t I just trust God and not worry about security. We don’t have a visible security team that I know of, my priest tells me they do and they only use non-lethal, but I have never seen them. Anyway, it is rather disheartening to her the criticism of not having faith or not wanting to know what God’s will for me is, and having them remind me that when the guards came to arrest Jesus, He told Peter to put away his sword because “if you live by the sword , you will die by the sword.” Hearing this talk reminds me of why I want to be a part of a ministry such as this. Thanks Keith, and have a Merry Christmas and may God bless and protect you!

Thank you Keith for a wonderful message, and thank you modern day shepherds of all types who keep us safe.

Great message! Based on scripture vice one’s misinterpretation to support an illogical position. Scripture is godly logic that we can all possess but us moderns think we’re enlightened when indeed most are devoid of common sense and discernment because they think The Word is not needed anymore.

Stay alert. Stay alive!

Given change in hierarchy, and more attacks on churches, has the LDS church reconsidered its security policy?
