But if you look at the skyline of Salt Lake City you'll see two buildings that really stand out. One is the temple, but the other one is one of the tallest buildings there. Do you you know what that building is? That's the church office building. There are many things that take place in the building that help to run the church. But did you know the church is not just a church, but in the eyes of the law it is also a company? You may hear people talk about the corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That refers to the side of the church that handles money, and business. This is something that can be strange to think about at first, but it all goes back to the early days of the church. Let's take a look at our restoration timeline! We're in 1832 today. In section 78 of the Doctrine and Covenants Joseph Smith was given a revelation that has guided the church ever since when it comes to money and other such things. Newel K Whitney and Sidney Rigdon were commanded to help make it possible for people to settle in Zion and so they were instructed to start a company. This would help them to manage money and properties. The company, or firm, was called the United Firm. #comefollowme #DoctrineandCovenants #scriptureexplorers #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #searchthescriptures #comefollowme2021 #D&C29 #lds #ldschurch #hearhim #lighttheworld #mormon
