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.

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).

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. [...]
Do Mormons Believe in Universal Salvation?
Posted in Christianity on October 4, 2010 | 36 Comments »
In a recent discussion someone brought up the fact that my views as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church, seemed to be in line with those who hold universal views of salvation.

Posted in Christianity, Church, Scripture Study on September 22, 2010 | 41 Comments »

Recently, a fellow friend from another Christian faith asked me to share my thoughts on Jesus Christ with the intention of posting it on his site in order to help other Christians with the concept of Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) being Christians. I’ll open with a quote taken [...]

It was about 5:45 p.m. on a friday evening as I drove my car a few blocks away from the food bank and parked it ambiguously. I hadn’t showered for two days and had about 5 days of facial hair growth as I stepped out onto the street and made my way towards the Salvation [...]

It includes information about where the money we give the LDS church goes for humanitarian needs such as Africa, Haiti, and other countries. I invite you to read some of the stories on the site.
