“If everyone laughs, the joke is harmless.”
Which lens would help you look beneath that label? Each can reveal something different.
Open the shutters, then choose a lens. The explanation will appear here.
Isaiah’s contrast lens
Open all three shutters from Isaiah 5:20 ↗. Notice the different test each contrast gives, then examine one surface label.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”— Isaiah 5:20
Before revealing: What three pairs does Isaiah repeat, and why might he use more than one?
Choose any shutter. Its own observation question will appear beside it.
Open a shutter to begin.
Christ’s truth compass
Open two scripture guides. Compare what three believable responses invite and build; this is reasoning practice, not a score on you.
John 14:6 ↗ · Moroni 7:16–19 ↗
Open either scripture guide. Its evidence will appear immediately below.
Open both scripture guides, then compare a response.
A cruel joke is spreading in a group chat. Compare a response.
Open both scripture guides. Feedback will compare the direction of a response.
Keep yourself and others safe: You are not required to confront someone, especially if that could lead to retaliation. If the situation feels unsafe, step back and ask a parent, carer, teacher, safeguarding lead or another trusted adult for help.
Read Isaiah’s prophecy map
Use the study help to identify the stem, then trace Isaiah’s gathering movement. Christ may be placed before or after the action chain.
Isaiah 11:1, 10–12 ↗ · D&C 113:1–2 ↗
“To it shall the Gentiles seek” (Isaiah 11:10); the Lord will “recover the remnant of his people” (verse 11); He will “set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel” (verse 12).— Isaiah 11:10–12
Before building: What do the action words show about who acts, and where people move?
Doctrine and Covenants 113:1–2 identifies the Stem. Place the name when you find it.
Place the first action. The map will grow from what you select.
Build the prophecy from the words of Isaiah.
Journal bridge: What does this map teach you about what Christ does in gathering, and where people move? Write one phrase in your own journal; sharing is optional.
Love • share • invite
Choose a reason from Isaiah 12 and a respectful mode. The app makes a temporary example, not a message you must send.
“God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength” (Isaiah 12:2). “With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation” (verse 3). “Give thanks unto the Lord … declare his doings among the people” (verse 4). “He hath done excellent things” (verse 5).— Isaiah 12:2–5
Before choosing: Which phrase gives a reason you could honestly care about—not a slogan for someone else?
Reason
Choose one phrase-based reason from Isaiah 12.
Mode
Choose LOVE, SHARE or INVITE. Each should protect the other person’s agency.
Choose in either order. Your example will appear here.
Choose a reason and a mode. Nothing here creates or sends a message.
My own words — private unless I choose otherwise
Use the ONE LOVING INVITATION space in the journal model. Write only what helps you:
- A phrase from Isaiah 12 that matters to me: ___
- In my own words, what it shows me about Jesus Christ: ___
- One small possibility I may consider through LOVE, SHARE or INVITE: ___
- How I can respect their choice and my safety: ___
Optional family teach-back: Show someone at home Isaiah’s ensign and explain in one sentence why gathering points to Christ. You may also keep this entirely private.
Love, Share, Invite ↗
Classroom segment: 5:40–7:06. Full official runtime: 13:03.
Watch for: What does Brother Wisan do that feels natural, loving and without pressure?
If video is unavailable: Read Isaiah 12:4–5 and ask, “What could ‘declare his doings’ look like while respecting another person’s choice?”
The app stores no planned invitation.
