that, “Christ is not satisfied with halfway measures” (79). Wolters encourages believers to not cut God short within their worldview; since our worldview effects how we live and make decisions, it is imperative that we give Christ credit where it is due.

evokes joy and purpose in a Christian’s life. In light of the second coming, the hymn challenges Christians to change their lifestyle. He calls all sinners to repentance by singing, “Call back the sinner; wake up the saint.” Summoning believers to, “Make straight a highway; a path for the Lord.” Living out a righteous life, followers prepare a way for Him to work. In fact, Kristian ambitiously desired to lead the church of Christ to remain ready for His return with the lyrics, “We’ll be a Church
Book of Mormon is the Word of God. Joseph Smith called it the keystone of our religion and President Ezra Taft Benson pointed out three key ways it functions as such: First, it functions as the keystone in our witness of Jesus Christ.
