 June 2 — We’re continuing to work through the new For the Strength of Youth booklet the Church has created for its youth to use in correlation with its new curriculum this fall.

This next section, Love God, love your neighbor, focuses on teaching the youth that loving their God means following all His laws and commandments.

It begins:

“God loves you. He is your Father. His perfect love can inspire you to love Him. When your love for Heavenly Father is the most important influence in your life, many decisions become easier.” (page 11)

 January 30 — Mormons Must Conform to Earn Grace. Mormon Doctrine, p. 241 “God’s grace consists in his love, mercy, and condescension toward his children…

Mormon Terminology: Works v. Grace

Posted in Mormon Terminology, tagged , , on 06/14/2018| Leave a Comment »

Romans 4:4 “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.”

Mormon Doctrine, Grace, p. 241 “Grace is granted to men proportionately as they conform to the standards of personal righteousness that are part of the gospel plan. Thus the saints are commanded to “grow in grace” (D. & C. 50:40), until they are sanctified and justified, “though the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (D. & C. 20:30- 32.)

Grace is an attribute of perfection possessed by Deity (D. & C. 66:12; 84:102), and Christ himself “received grace for grace” until finally he gained the fulness of the Father. The same path to perfection is offered to man. “If you keep my commandments,” the Lord says, “you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace.” (D. & C. 93:6-20.)” – Bruce McConkie (more…)

Missionary Worthiness Interview and Questions

Posted in Mormon Missionaries, tagged , , on 10/27/2017| Leave a Comment »

Mormon Newsroom, pp. 8 –11; “Appendix…Honesty and Integrity. “Be honest with yourself, others, and God at all times. Being honest means choosing not to lie, steal, cheat, or deceive in any way. …“Closely associated with honesty is integrity. Integrity means thinking and doing what is right at all times, no matter what the consequences. …Choose to live so that your thoughts and behavior are always in harmony with the gospel””

For members of the LDS Church, the list of requirements to prove their worthiness to the Mormon god is arduous. In order to receive salvation in Mormonism, there are several ‘worthiness interviews’ they must go through in determining if they’re truly acceptable to their god.

Today we’re looking at yet another worthiness requirement, recently implemented for their missionary workforce. Along with that announcement, we’re also looking at the latest news regarding the Church’s missionary workforce. Let’s get started!

What is the Role of Grace in Mormonism?

Posted in grace, tagged , , , on 08/05/2016| Leave a Comment »

Ensign, ‘I Have a Question,’ July 1989 pp. 59-61 “What is the role of grace in LDS theology? …Are we saved BYUthrough Christ’s grace by merely confessing him as our Savior? Or are we saved through his grace after doing all we can…both in confessing his name and in keeping his commandments? Both reason and scripture loudly proclaim the latter….However, God’s grace will not do for us what we can do for ourselves…” – Robert E. Parsons, associate professor of ancient scripture, Brigham Young University
