For the Strength of Youth Part 2

Posted in For the Strength of the Youth, tagged , , on 05/21/2026| 1 Comment »

 

Jesus Will Help You (pages 6-9)

 This section begins by saying,

“Jesus Christ is your strength. He has done everything necessary for you to have joy in this life and forever.”

This statement sounds very contradictory to me. If Jesus “has done everything necessary” for them to have joy forever, why do they also encourage the youth to do baptisms for the dead? Having joy for eternity, at least to Christians, is knowing He is the reason we have eternal life and can be in the presence of God. How can you have joy in this life and the next if you believe your salvation is based on what you can do?

This section goes on to say,

“Because God loves you, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who took upon Himself your sins so you can repent and keep progressing.”

The New For the Strength of Youth Booklet Part 1

Posted in For the Strength of the Youth, tagged , , , on 05/13/2026| 1 Comment »

 May 13 — The Church will begin a new curriculum starting in September for the youth. They have also updated the booklet For the Strength of Youth as well and it will go along with their new program. In preparation for the new curriculum the youth are encouraged to start reading one chapter of the guide a week beginning May 6th. This is going to be a huge change for the youth, there will be an app they can download, a magazine, and special music that will go along with the new program.

As Michelle and I began going through the new For the Strength of Youth booklet we found many things that broke our hearts for the young people who will participate in this new curriculum.

It begins with a message from the First Presidency it says (page 2)–

“We love you and we have confidence in you. You are truly among Heavenly Father’s choice spirits, sent to earth at this time to do important things.”

 October 27 — Today we’re using short quotes from two GC talks.

1.The first one comes from a talk by Elder Gary E. Stevenson: ‘Blessed Are the Peacemakers’. This man told people that in order to be true peacemakers they should temper anything they say online or otherwise with love. Long story short treat others as a child of God. (more…)

 September 11 — The Church News is celebrating Quentin L. Cook’s 85th birthday by highlighting some of his memorable quotes from the past year. Here is one that caught my attention.

“He is our Exemplar — our Advocate with the Father — and He accomplished everything necessary for us to return to the Father’s and the Son’s presence. We would be wise to follow Jesus Christ and receive the gifts that He has provided.”

 June 18 — Discourses of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 28 “…Notwithstanding my weaknesses, I am under the necessity of bearing the infirmities of others, who when they get into difficulty, hang on to me tenaciously to get them out, and wish me to cover their faults. (HC 5:516.)” (more…)

4 Lies the Mormon Church Tell about Israel

Posted in false teachers, November, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , on 11/11/2024| 2 Comments »

November 11 —4 Lies the Mormon Church Tell about Israel. When I left Mormonism, I had little to no knowledge about the kingdom of Israel’s history. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I knew Israel was in the Middle East and that was about the sum of it.

Making matters worse, what I thought I did know was wrong. All of it; i.e. Jesus being born in Jerusalem v. Bethlehem (Alma 7:10). (more…)

Conference Quotes: Follow the Prophet, pt.1

Posted in General Conference October 2024, October, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , , on 10/24/2024| 1 Comment »

‘Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.’ Isaiah 29:13

 October 24 — Conference Quotes: Follow the Prophet, pt.1. Today we’re looking at three comments made by leaders of the Church. Each of the speakers reminded people to obey and follow the prophet. What is probably most telling was how their talks told people to return.

Tomorrow we’re looking at two other talks that mimicked those seen today.

 September 26 – The Greatest Commandment Is To… Matthew 22:36-40 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Conference Quote 2023: Criticizing Prophets is Dangerous

Posted in General Conference April 2023, tagged , , , , on 04/16/2023| 4 Comments »

 General Conference, ‘A Living Prophet for the Latter Days,’ April 2023 “The doctrine and principles that we must follow to survive spiritually and endure physically are found in the words of a living prophet.

…prophetic teachings do not become more valuable with age. That is why we should not seek to use the words of past prophets to dismiss the teachings of living prophets. … Our seemingly small deviations, quiet neglect, or whispered criticisms in response to prophetic counsel may result in our only walking dangerously near the edge of the covenant path.” — Allen D. Haynie (more…)

Yoga Symbol Used for LDS Youth Theme

Posted in yoga, tagged , , , on 11/10/2022| 5 Comments »

‘Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.’ Colossians 2:8

 Today we’re looking at a topic we’ve discussed before — yoga.

The reason we’re discussing this again is because of what I found on the LDS Youth homepage. See LDS Youth Theme 2023 for more info.

In their utter contempt for the Lord and His word the Church decided to use Philippians 4:13 as a segue to introduce the theme for 2023 along with an image of stacking stones used in Yoga.

Their tactics are a brazen exposition of how they pretend to be a spiritually safe place for kids. Shame on them! (more…)

 ChurchNews.com “One simple way to get to know someone is by learning their name. … “Jesus wants for us to know Him because His is the only name under heaven whereby we can be saved. … My earnest desire is that you will come to know Jesus Christ by His many names and that you will become like Him as you exemplify His divine attributes in your life.”” Jonathan Schmitt (more…)

 General Conference, ‘For God So Loved Us’, April 2022  “God sent Jesus Christ because He loves His children and designed a plan for each of them to return home to Him. This plan is personal and was set forth by a loving Heavenly Father, “who knows our hearts, our names and what He needs us to do.” …

Conference Quote: Humbly Repent for Doubting

Posted in General Conference April 2022, tagged , , , , on 06/26/2022| 5 Comments »

 General Conference, ‘Is the Plan Working?’, April 2022 “All of us face boisterous winds that can shake our faith and cause us to sink. When we struggle—for any reason—that does not mean the plan isn’t working. That is when we need the plan the most!

In those moments, follow the example of Peter. Turn to the Savior right away.

“Now is the time and the day of your salvation. … Do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.”8

…Humble yourself before the Lord… Peter had shown faith, both in walking on the water and in reaching out to the Savior when he needed help. Even so, the Savior saw in Peter the potential for so much more. “O thou of little faith,” He said, “wherefore didst thou doubt?”10 (more…)

April 2021 General Conference Talk Summaries Point to Members’ Strength

Posted in General Conference April 2021, tagged , , , on 04/08/2021| 2 Comments »

The three talk summaries we’re looking at today are enough to show the fallacies in LDS theology. Pray for those who watched this conference, and bought into the lies! You can read the Church’s PDF which is where we originally retrieved them, and/or see their talks in the links we provided below.

One thing is certain. The Church continues to point inward to avoid pointing to Jesus.

LDS Tells Kids to Read the Bible

Posted in Friend Magazine, tagged , , on 09/20/2020| 1 Comment »

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2

The September issue of Liahona included the September issue of the kid’s magazine, Friend.

In that portion, the Church wanted kids to count the number of times the word ‘fowl’, appears in the first chapter of Genesis.

Their article should give everyone pause, and for a few reasons! (more…)
