Yesterday the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints passed away. LDS people believe that the prophet of the church recieves modern day revelation for the church just as Peter did for the Church of Jesus Christ after Jesus was crucified. I believe President Hinckley was a prophet and want to share my thoughts [...]

We had the missionaries over last night and they shared an amazing story from the May 1988 Ensign. Below is a story given by Elder John R Lasater: Some years ago, it was my privilege to visit the country of Morocco as part of an official United States government delegation. As part of that visit, [...]

For those of you who are interested in statistics, I thought this was intersting. It’s found on the LDS Newsroom website. I shows stats on how many members the church has, how many missionaries, how many members in each country, how many countries we’re doing humanitarian aid for, etc. Here’s the site: http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/statistical-information

Those of us in the Northwest get the benefit of some very beautiful days, and yesterday was one of them. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun reflected off the crystals in the 10 degree weather. My wife (Becca), my friend Jeremy, and I decided we would go skiing and it was [...]

I recently read a blog today from a person I don’t know, but that I can tell is an earnest seeker of truth. His post was entitled “Restructuring the Church for Explosive Growth.” In his post he poses the question “What if we were to build a system from scratch that was simply designed to [...]

10 Ways to Build and Maintain our Foundation on Jesus
Posted in Jesus, tagged end of the spear, foundation, Jesus, missionaries, prophets, Spirituality on January 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In the movie “End of the Spear,” christian missionaries are led by the Holy Spirit to a indiginous people in South America. The people have a distorted concept of God and the sanctity of life. Ultimately many of the missionaries end up sacrificing their lives in order to bring the message to this indiginous people. The scriptures [...]
Perfecting our Relationship with Jesus through Progression…not Perfection
Posted in Christianity, Faith, Jesus, Mormon Christians, Spirituality, tagged Bible, Book of Mormon, Jesus, Love on January 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
One of my friends recently posted this comment about God: I also lived in fear of somehow distressing him (God) so much that I wouldn’t make my way into the highest of kingdoms and that I’d be a disappointment to him and all those around me. Every time I committed even the “slightest sin”, it made [...]
Receiving and Recognizing Answers to our Prayers
Posted in Christianity, God, Jesus, Prayer, Spirituality, tagged Bible, Commandments, Doctrine and Covenants, Faith, God, Prayer on January 13, 2008 | 9 Comments »
In one of my recent posts, I said it was a law that God would answer our prayers. I was wrong….he’ll answer our prayers if we are keeping the commandments. Here’s proof: John 15:10 “if ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love…” and John 15:7 “if ye abide in me and my words abide [...]
