June 18 – Heb. 9:11-2; “But Christ being come and high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us”.

May 31 – Hosea 11:9; “…for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in your midst of thee…”

_____

Mormons cannot refute the Bible tells us God is not man.  He has never been a man, nor will He ever be a man.  Ask a Mormon to memorize this Hosea passage and give you their opinion about it and the contradictory passage found in the Pearl of Great Price listed below.  This verse contradicts Joseph Smith’s teachings that God was once a man.

Boy Scouts, Mormonism and Altar Moments with God

Part 1

Scouts logoThe first part of our look at the Boy Scouts and Mormonism will be focused on our relationship with the Lord during these things. In the second part we’ll be taking a look at what happened to the Scouts and the influence Mormonism has had upon this Christian organization.  With the intro out of the way let’s get started!

Each time we see a major shift in the moral decline of mankind the Lord takes me to the place I know I belong – to Him.

May 27 – John 16:7-8; “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

This week started off with a bang, if you will.

I woke this morning to find another barrage of angry posts on the blog from a very disgruntled Mormon.

Now he’s been posting every day, several times a day, and because of his vocabulary I’ve banned his notes from showing up on the blog. Today I downloaded info from this blog and discovered this Mormon gentleman has gone to the trouble of acquiring an e-mail address with our ministry name.

I’d like to ask everyone to pray for this man as he seems to be obsessed with e-mailing spam to us multiple times each day. I won’t go into the number of times he’s tried to post comments since I banned him or how incredibly rude he’s been.

stickman thinking 3I know it’s odd to read anything from me in this type of format!  Yikes!  I thought it was needed to explain the postings for the past few days.

Typically I have my postings written up to a month in advance and then post them automatically to the date I need/want them to be read.

About ten days ago I came down with a cold and while battling that I had a severe reaction to seasonal allergies.  While I love all the gorgeous pink blossoms on flowering cherry and plum trees in my area, they cause me and my sinuses a great deal of grief.  To complicate matters I have MS – no boring days in my life!  Without going into ad nausea detail I need to be well for my treatments and this is where you come in!

Pride in Being a Mormon

Mormon Decisions 10Discourses of Brigham Young, pg 30; “Take a pride in acknowledging the Savior. Train and educate yourselves until you will take a pride in acknowledging God, the Author of all. Take a pride in the religion that makes you pure and holy, and that produces in the heart of every individual who embraces it a feeling to be truthful in every word he speaks, to be honest in every act he performs, in all his dealings with his neighbors. Take a pride in this and fear not the wicked. 12:326”

 Matthew 6:21; “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

The ABC’s of Utah Vital Stats 2012

Utah9,780

That’s how many people in Utah have committed suicide since 1980. In those 32 years the size of a small town took their own lives. It’s sobering news when thought upon in that light and even more sobering when you realize that today someone in Utah will take their own life again.

Every 131 minutes someone in  Utah will attempt suicide.

The potential these people had to make us a better society or to contribute their time and talents is gone – forever.

While compiling the stats this time around I didn’t see any significant changes in the way Utah does life, except for the continuous rise of suicides. As I mentioned in the status of Utah schools I carry a hope inside me things will change, and for some people that’s true. Fortunately God can and will intervene when we open  our hearts.  While I understand and know that as the world keeps drawing further away from the Lord things will continue to worsen, there’s an eternal optimist living in me that doesn’t think it needs to be so.

God is Louder

This past week my family and I enjoyed a few days together over on the coast.  I fell in love with oceans as a young child while visiting an uncle who lived in Jersey and from that time on I’ve been in awe.

While visiting Pacific Beach, WA this past week I stood out on the back porch of the house we rented and just listened to the waves rolling in. One after another they came as I made a mental note of their consistency and how their strong rumbling noise kept going even with other noises around me.

Their sound reminds me that God is always present, always on time and always bigger and louder than man-made noises.

When we allow God into our lives His comfort is greater than our most self-degrading thoughts and His Holy Spirit stronger than any self mustered willpower we’ll ever know.
