January 7 — Mormons are Praying to a God They Don’t Know. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”

Today’s LDS reference shows one of the ways the Church has deceived people. They sound Christian, but they’re not. They’re trying to worship the God of the Bible, but they don’t know Him, nor do they desire to do so.
Furthermore, Joe Smith’s claim of going to the woods to pray was a trick to lure people into the snare of worshiping false gods.
Mr. Eyring’s talk has done the same thing Smith’s claim did. Mormons don’t study His word, nor do they have any intention of doing so. This is seen in how they incorporate other works of man.
As God’s word says, they didn’t love the truth, so they’ve become enamored by the likes of Joseph Smith and LDS Church leaders today.
Pray for Mormons to ditch the Church manuals and stick to what our Lord has said!

“Joseph Smith’s mission was unique, yet his humble prayer can be a helpful model for us. … We can and must go often and carefully to the word of God. If we become casual in our study of the scriptures, we will become casual in our prayers. We may not cease to pray, but our prayers will become more repetitive, more mechanical, lacking real intent.
Our hearts cannot be drawn out to a God we do not know, and the scriptures and the words of living prophets help us know Him. As we know Him better, we love Him more.” — Henry B. Eyring, Ensign, “Prayer,” Nov. 2001, 17
