Galatians 1:6-8 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
For the past several days the Church has gone overboard on promoting the upcoming birthday of their prophet, Russell Nelson.
Earlier today (9/6/19), the top half of their site had a picture of him, along with a live countdown until the official celebration. Tomorrow we’re looking at some other items on their front page that should cause members great concern about what their leaders are doing in Salt Lake City.
Today we’re simply asking why.
Why would a so-called Christian church place so much emphasis on one man, who by the way, is not Jesus? With all the needless work of changing URL’s this past year to emphasize the name of Jesus, it’s puzzling they’d go to such extremes with a simple birthday.
What purpose does all the hoopla serve?
Who is glorified in this? God, or man?
Who’s footing the bill for this ‘gala’?
Where is the direction of their adoration focused?
When did God ever tell us to celebrate man in this manner?
And finally beloved, how does all this benefit the average Mormon like my mother?
As always, remember to pray for all Mormons to see the futility in this, and celebrate Jesus and what He did in life!
With Love in Christ;
