We’re the church that
says we’re gods and goddesses in embryo. We’re the Church that says we’re kings
and queens. We’re priests and priestesses. People accuse us of heresy. They say
we’re absolutely heretical, non-Christian because we happen to believe what all
the prophets taught and that is that we are children of God, joint-heirs with
Christ. We just happen to take the scriptures literally that kids grow up to be
like their parents. But how does that happen? How does godliness happen? Do we
just pop up? Are we just gong to pop up out of the graves. Hallelujah, it’s
resurrection morning! Give me a universe or two. Bring me some worlds to run! I
don’t think so. That doesn’t sound like line upon line or precept upon precept
to me. How do you become godly? You do godly things. That’s how you become
godly. And you practice, and you practice, and you practice. (Jeffrey R.
