1 John 3:1 ‘Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God.’

 January 27 — Today isn’t the normal Mormon quote of the day. We’re moving out of our comfort zone based on the Lord’s promptings.

My first question today is this –

Remember the day you were saved?

Do you recall how dramatically it changed your life?

Do you live with that much enthusiasm every day?

Do others know about it?

A favorite pastime for our family is visiting Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. Four city blocks stretching across nine acres are filled with indoor vendors selling anything from fresh fish and flowers to fruits and vegetables and even floor to ceiling teas and spices from all over the world. There’s really no other place like it! (more…)

 January 23 — Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 354 “All the fools and learned and wise men from the beginning of creation, who say that the spirit of man had a beginning, prove that it must have an end; and if that doctrine is true, then the doctrine of annihilation would be true. But if I am right, I might with boldness proclaim from the house-tops that God never had the power to create the spirit of man at all. God himself could not create himself.” [emp. added]  (more…)

What is True Christianity?

Posted in January, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 01/17/2026| 3 Comments »

‘…And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.’ Acts 11:26

 January 17 — Liahona and Ensign, November 2012 “A Christian has faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is the literal Son of God, sent by His Father to suffer for our sins in the supreme act of love we know as the Atonement.

Through the scriptures and the witness of Joseph Smith, we know that God, our Heavenly Father, has a glorified and perfected body of flesh and bone. Jesus Christ is His Only Begotten Son in the flesh. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit whose work is to testify of the Father and the Son. The Godhead is three separate and distinct beings, unified in purpose.

With these doctrines as the foundation of our faith, can there be any doubt or disputation that we, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are Christian?” — Robert D. Hales, Being a More Christian Christian (more…)

Mormon Priesthood Powers Controls Earth

Posted in January, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , on 01/12/2026| 1 Comment »

 January 12 — Gospel Truth, p. 167 “The power which controls universe. What is that power? It is the Priesthood of the Son of God. It is the power by which all things were created and are held in their place. Shall I startle you when I say that our Father himself controls the universe and occupies His exalted station because of the Priesthood? Whether it is startling or not, it is nevertheless true. Our Eternal Father is the creator of all things through the power of the everlasting Priesthood—that Priesthood which has been bestowed upon and exercised by the servants of God in our day. (Aug. 22, 1897, DW 55:354)” George Cannon (more…)

 January 11 – Alpha. This is the first letter of the Greek alphabet which originates from the Hebrew. There’s no contraction of this because it’s simply a letter, and neither are there any derivatives. The same can be said for the last letter of the Greek alphabet, ‘Omega’.  Revelation 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (more…)

Are Mormon Doctrines a Judgment of God or Man?

Posted in January, Racism in the Mormon Church, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 01/10/2026| 5 Comments »

 January 10 — That Ye May Not Be Deceived, pp. 9-10, 13 “…Also, the gospel was not carried to this segregated black group… the Negroes tread the earth with black dishonorable bodies as a judgment of God because at the time of decision in the pre-existence they were faint-hearted and exhibited an infirmity of purpose – they were not valiant in the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, they were entitled to no better earthly lineage than that of the first early murderer, Cain. They were to be the ‘servant of servants.’ They were to be segregated. No effort was made to carry the gospel to them as a people. …The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has no call to carry the Gospel to the Negro, and it does not do so.” – Elder Arthur M. Richardson, 1955 (more…)

The Devil is Co-Eternal, Equal with God

Posted in January, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 01/07/2026| 1 Comment »

 January 7 — Essential Brigham Young, “When I Contemplate the Subject of Salvation”, A Sermon Delivered on 12 February, 1854, p 84 “When I was young, a Methodist priest whom no person would fellowship because he taught so many new things in his preaching, made a remark that I believe is true. Says he, “Evil is inverted good.” Now for Methodists to talk such things was indeed strange; they did not know that the Devil is as eternal as God, and coequal with Him in this respect. Evil is inverted good. If you receive the Priesthood, and make an evil use of it, it will make devils of you.” (more…)

Cavemen are Result of Sin

Posted in January, Mormon Dilemmas, Racism in the Mormon Church, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 01/06/2026| 5 Comments »

 January 6 — Moses: Man of Miracles, p. 8 “When did civilization start? It began with Adam, the first man, unusually well educated because the Lord was his teacher. (Moses 6.) It is admitted that there was retrogression among some of his family who apostatized and then left his well-ordered society…

Thus they became the cavemen and other early degenerates who some scholars now mistakenly believe were the first men. All of this differs but little from situations found among certain aborigines who live today in some parts of the world. (more…)
