Doctrine and Covenants 78:6

"For if ye are not equal in earthly things ye cannot be equal in obtaining heavenly things."
Doctrine and Covenants 78:6


Short today, but SO interesting... section 78 is talking about providing for the poor, not just temporarily, but a permanent organization and established thing... talking about why, saying that we need to be equal in the bonds of heavenly things... and then this.  So, it makes me think.  Does it mean that we need to establish a Zion community, or merely that we have to have a spirit of giving and family and community and love for all the people around us... and equal... equal how?  In physical needs being met?  In emotional support?  In spiritual opportunities?  In intellectual ways?  Opportunities for education?
