When Elder David A. Bednar invited Church members to flood the earth with positive messages on the Internet, he put it this way: “Beginning at this place on this day, I exhort you to sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth — messages that are authentic, edifying and praiseworthy — and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood.”

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responded to Elder Bednar’s call in droves, some using the hashtag #ShareGoodness with their positive messages. But now, a month after Elder Bednar’s invitation, is a good time to pay closer attention to the next thing Elder Bednar said:
