I think if you think what are the basic principles of the gospel you can't go wrong.lundbaek wrote: ↑December 28th, 2017, 8:59 am To Silver Pie's question "I have not heard the Church talk about a year's supply for a looong time. Is it still a doctrine?" I never understood preparedness to be "Church doctrine" or a principle of the gospel. But compliance does, I believe, come under the principle of obedience.
That question also raises another question: There are principles of the gospel that the Church promoted years ago but no longer promotes. Are we still responsible to comply with a principle that the Church no longer promotes? Maybe I'll address this concern under a new topic.
Faith, repentance, self sufficiency, self improvement, sacrament, ordinances and so on.
Where people get confused is they worry about what their neighbors will think if they are caught talking about food storage. Or they worry about being too cool to talk about self sufficiency and being thought of as nerds. Then they have to have all this new stuff with monthly payments. If you think about it like that and in terms of the basics of Alma 31, 32, and 33 you won't go wrong. (31 and 33 are helpful but 32 is about faith like a tiny seed...simple simple ideas. 33 is showing us to not worry about what other thinks and really open up to what's real even if its unpopular because we don't belong in the world anyway.)
