In the past year I’ve had to deal with some serious spiritual warfare regarding my grown child turning their back on God. In so doing, I couldn’t help but find myself asking questions such as:
What if we were still members of the Mormon Church, would he have made the same choices, or chosen differently? Would he have remained faithful to what we taught him and be on a mission for the Church right now?

The ability to communicate directly with God in prayer is one of the greatest blessings a believer possesses, and yet it’s the one thing many don’t access very often (myself included). When I take the time to think about why my prayer life isn’t what I’d like to be I have to admit that it has a lot to do with laziness, and pretty much just letting the business of life take over my time. Also it has to do with feeling my prayers are weak, and not knowing what I should say, or how I should say it. Anyone else ever feel that way?

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
As a Mormon I heard the word atonement used in odd and often confusing ways. Usually during General Conference I learned how I could apply it to my life, how it covered a multitude of things, how it would bring me personal strength, cleanse me and bring me happiness, and lastly how it will help me endure to the end.
Back then I was so clueless as to what the atonement was all about that, as a conversation starter, I asked a Christian woman in my homeschooling group if she believed in it. Looking back now I can’t imagine how bizarre she must have thought I was to even ask her such a question.

It’s funny and at the same time amazing at how God answers our prayers, and gives us what we need when we need it, isn’t it? I began this week praying and asking the Lord what I should talk about this month in Discovering Grace, and today my prayer was answered.
A few weeks ago I commented on a video by a fellow former Mormon. He was interviewing two Mormons, who were attending General Conference on the subject of grace. There’s a link to the video at the bottom of this article in case you’d like to see it, but the main thing I’d want to address is the reply I received to my comment.

Hello, I’d like to begin this new segment on our blog by discussing salvation.
According to the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary the word save refers being kept safe, away from danger, or to keep from being lost. As Christians use the word saved in the same context. We believe Jesus has saved us, and rescued us from the danger of eternal punishment for our sins, and as result our salvation is secure. (1 Peter 1:5)
Romans: 9-10 goes into this a little more, it reads:
“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”
Anyone or anything that disagrees with the LDS Church is considered anti-Mormon. Yet, the Church considers themselves to be a Christian church.
