Recently I wrote a post asking the question about what being a “Utah Mormon” means. I was surprised by the amount of visitors and controversy it stirred up. As stated in my purpose, it isn’t my intention to hurt anyone of any faith so in order to keep things light-hearted I thought I’d do something [...]

In college, I skimmed through the book by Victor Frankl entitled “Man’s Search for Meaning.” Recently I decided to read it again and spend a little more time digesting the concepts. For those unfamiliar with this book, it is a book written by Victor Frankl about his experiences in a concentration camp. What is so [...]

Because of the recent media on the Fundamentalist LDS group that “got busted” in Texas for abuse and polygamy the LDS church has made efforts to distance itself from this sect. Below is a recent interview with the LDS public affairs representative regarding the churches current stance on polygamy and how it wants the world [...]

Recently my wife and I spent some time in the Florida Keys. It was amazing and nice to get out of the cold Seattle weather. One evening under a full moon, we decided to walk along the beach and enjoy the amazing smells and sounds of the ocean. We came upon a pier that went [...]

Recently one of the members of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons or LDS) gave an excellent talk entitled “Faith of our Father.” This talk is excellent for those in the LDS church and all Christians.

In General Conference this week one of the Twelve Apostles, Jeffrey Holland said (paraphrased) that many Christians err in the verses in Revelation 22:18-19 that state: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the [...]

In the Bible, James talks about pure religion, which (summarized) is visiting the less fortunate and lifting them up. This is the essence of humanitarian efforts throughout the world and according to James what religion should be all about. As a member, I give 10% of my income towards tithing and an additional 5-10% towards what [...]

Posted in Christianity, Latter-day Saints, tagged Bible, Bishops, Book of Mormon, Catholic, Confession, Jesus, LDS, Mormon, Repentance, scriptures on April 2, 2008 | 31 Comments »
One of the main concerns many people have from other faiths is that for certain sins within the Mormon church the members need to confess to their Bishop.
