We had a pretty interesting discussion to close out our last Elders meeting in 2011. It was a lesson on judgment and the second coming. As you can imagine, many interesting things were said. Some off the wall about what would happen leading up to the Second Coming, and others that were scripturally based. One [...]

Pure Religion: Caring for an Aging Parent or Grandparent
Posted in Christianity, Family, Patience on December 8, 2011 | 4 Comments »
In the New Testament, James defines pure religion as visiting people in their afflictions, and also keeping oneself unspotted from the world. With that thought in mind, I contacted one of my aging grandparents, whose health is steadily declining. I received a phone call from my grandparent a few weeks ago, but the excuses I [...]
Scientific Proof on why Chrisitian Women Shouldn’t Wear Bikinis
Posted in Christianity, morality on December 1, 2011 | 21 Comments »
Growing up in a Mormon society and household, modesty was something that was spoken of frequently. Since the majority of the population and culture I was in was predominately LDS, or Mormon, it was against the social norm to wear tight, or revealing clothing and when going out in the sun, bikinis were nearly unheard [...]
80% of Christian Singles Admit to Pre-marital Sex
Posted in Christianity on October 13, 2011 | 6 Comments »
An article entitled “Almost Everyone’s Doing It” in Relevant magazine includes a poll that shows 80% of Evangelical singles admit to having pre-marital sex. What was even more surprising was another poll in the article showed that 65% of women who have abortions in the US identify themselves as Christian, but that’s a side topic. [...]
Steps to take when you Receive or are Offered Anti-Mormon Literature
Posted in Christianity, Latter-day Saints on June 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Recently I had a close member of my family give me a movie called “Joseph Smith vs. the Bible” (actually, they left it in my car). Since I’ve rarely had a Christian give me something about Mormons that wasn’t propaganda to try and convince Mormons they’re wrong, I really had no desire to watch it. [...]
Your Child Doesn’t want to be Baptized…
Posted in Christianity, Spirituality on March 24, 2011 | 27 Comments »
In the LDS faith, people are not baptized until they are at the age of accountability, which according to LDS scripture is the age of 8. According to that scripture, the parents are commanded to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to their children and baptize children when they turn 8 years old or there is a [...]
Views on the Anti-Christ and End Times
Posted in Christianity, Jesus on February 20, 2011 | 11 Comments »
In one of my most recent posts, there was mention of Glenn Beck and how he has helped bridge the gap between Christians and Mormons. Just days after I wrote that post, an evangelical member of my family contacted me about something Beck had shown the other day on end times from both a Christian [...]
The Fastest Growing Christian Churches in 2010
Posted in Christianity, Church on February 19, 2011 | 8 Comments »
For the third year in a row the Jehovah’s Witness church grew significantly more than other churches (with the exception of Seventh Day Adventists, who also showed very strong growth). According to this year’s Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches, the Jehovah’s Witness church doubled its growth jumping from 2% in 2009 to 4.37% growth [...]
Variations of Benedictus (The Prayer of Zacharius)
Posted in Christianity on February 5, 2011 | 3 Comments »
While reading and preparing for a Sunday school lesson a few weeks back, I read Benedictus, more commonly called the Prayer of Zacharius. It is the testimony he shared when he received his speech back after his Son, John the Baptist was born (see Luke 1: 67-79). I got a little curious to see what [...]
Jesus going to “Hell” and Preaching to those who have Died
Posted in Bible, Christianity, death on October 15, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Recently we had a very good discussion on whether or not the LDS church believes in Universal Salvation. One of the key doctrines of the LDS faith is that everyone will have a chance to at least hear about Jesus and accept Him as their Savior whether that be in this life or the next. [...]
