The Bread of Life

As a young man, just a boy really, I loved it when Granny would make a batch of homemade bread. The whole house smelled sweet and warm. We were happy children on these days, and it happened frequently.

Also around that general time frame there was a tendency in schools to teach that mankind came from apes, otherwise known as the theory of evolution. This was strongly contested by some and generally opposed by the Church and many others. Still, there were good people on both sides of the fence.

Even today, numerous discussions and opinions fill the Internet regarding this subject and statements made by people inside-and-out of the Church regarding the validity or error of this theory. Natural selection and the evolution of plants and animals are used as evidences to perpetuate of this theory, some claiming a connection and others refusing any truth to the matter.

As recently as 2002 in the Ensign, the Church referred to statements made by The First Presidency regarding this subject in the early 1900s and has not veered from this position.

Similarly, today there are numerous discussions regarding the same sex attraction and the gender of man. The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles issued the proclamation back in 1995, which has stood as a standard in defense of the family.

It occurs to me that the message regarding both of these issues has been clearly and concisely addressed with sensitivity relative to the destiny of man. 

We are given the true bread of heaven. "I am the Bread of Life. He that cometh to me shall never hunger. He that believeth on me shall never thirst."  John 6:35
