Zion is Zion because of the character, attributes,
and faithfulness of her citizens.
Remember, "the Lord called his people Zion, because they were
of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness;
and there was no poor among them."
If we would establish Zion in our homes, branches, wards,
and stakes, we must rise to this standard.
(1) It will be necessary to become unified
in one heart and one mind; (2) to become,
individually and collectively, a holy people;
and (3) to care for the poor and needy with such effectiveness
that we eliminate poverty among us.
We cannot wait until Zion comes for these things
to happen--Zion will come only as they happen.
