Larsen Volume 20, Number 1, Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr 2019 Issue 77 As the Remnant Church and its members enter a new year, the idea and yearly theme of Moving Forward to Zion has been selected to emphasize the fact that, even though we can be very pleased for all…

Remnant Record 2018 Issue 1 To The Saints . . . This is the inaugural issue of The Remnant Record. The Remnant Record is like a yearbook, or even, perhaps, a time capsule for the church. It was created as a compilation of the major church activities and spiritual events that highlight the fellowship and ministry…

EDITORIAL COMMENT … By President Frederick N. Larsen Volume 19, Number 1, Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr 2018, Issue No. 74 Because of the decision to convene our General Conference every two years, this year’s conference will attempt to cover an enlarged agenda. We believe that the longer interval will give us time to prepare more meaningful agendas in…

Volume 18, Number 2, April/May/June 2017, Issue 71 While reviewing the draft version for the current issue of The Hastening Times, I was impressed by the quality and content of our official Remnant Church publication. This issue includes a very fine review of our recent General Conference by Patriarch Ralph Damon. Other reports by our…

Why the Remnant Church? Volume 18, Number 1, Issue 70, Jan/Feb/Mar 2017 Several months ago, during my journey into Kenya, I was asked this question by an elderly gentleman. The question was posed to me after Seventy Friday Mbaoma and I had spent some time sharing the gospel with a group from the Massai tribe…

Larsen October/November/December 2016 Several significant events will have already occurred or will occur in the period covered by this issue of The Hastening Times.

Editorial Comment Jul/Aug/Sep 2016 The summer of 2016 will be looked upon with many fond memories for the many activities and events which took place in the life of the Saints of the Remnant Church.  As each year seems to do, the many activities of the Church appear to gain momentum, going faster and faster,…

Editorial Comment Issue 67 Apr/May/June 2016 Being accountable to God for your actions is one of the first lessons taught in the script of the Bible. Lucifer (in the guise of a serpent) beguiled Eve into partaking of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve then persuaded Adam to…

Editorial Comment – Issue 66 January/February/March 2016 April of each year is a time of great expectation and anticipation for the Remnant Church. The Saints have already spent several weeks, perhaps months, planning and getting ready for the week-long experience of General Conference.

Editorial Comment Issue 64 July/August/September 2015                                                     Many years ago, as a member of Zion’s League and living in the St. Louis, MO area, an event, though somewhat inconsequential at the moment, has given me the opportunity to reflect several times upon what happened and its lasting lesson learned – although not fully understood until…

Editorial Comment . . .             Time, as we generally understand or define it, is measured as the period between two or more events. For those of us in the role of leadership for the Remnant Church, the events of particular significance are our General Conferences, family reunions, and our Priesthood Assembly/Women’s Retreat. As of…

As the April General Conference of 1925 neared, President Frederick M. Smith sensed the need to bring to the membership an urgency of the times. “The hastening time is here and greater unity than ever before is necessary if the forces of opposition are to be met” (Doctrine and Covenants 135:2b). In the same vein,…

Editorial Comment “Aint it Funnny, How Time Slips Away” is the title of an old song that can be recalled by many of us who are part of the older generation.  Anyone over fifty years old can recall so many events of the past years which have left their marks upon our memories.  It still…
