Conference Quote: God’s Will is Acknowledging Joseph Smith

Posted in Conference Quotes, General Conference April 2022, tagged , , , , on 06/02/2022| 1 Comment »

‘For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.’ 1 Peter 3:17

 General Conference, ‘Conversion to the Will of God’, April 2022 “A personal conversion includes the responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world. Conversion comes by understanding and accepting the will of God.

A testimony will be strengthened with the knowledge that Joseph Smith was an instrument in the Lord’s hands. The Doctrine and Covenants provides the keys, ordinances and covenants necessary for salvation. But many are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it.” — Quentin L. Cook (more…)

  March 20 – Hosanna – Oh Save Us!  John 11:55-57, 12:1, 12-15 “And the Jews’ Passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.”

LDS Leaders Admit Past Behavior Wasn’t Christlike

Posted in General Conference October 2020, tagged , , , , , on 11/07/2020| 2 Comments »

‘But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.’ Acts 10:35

General Conference, ‘Hearts Knit in Righteousness and Unity’, October 2020 “Unity is enhanced when people are treated with dignity and respect, even though they are different in outward characteristics.

As leaders, we are not under the illusion that in the past all relationships were perfect, all conduct was Christlike, or all decisions were just. …

Our desire is that our hearts and minds will be knit in righteousness and unity and that we will be one with Them. …

We are all aware that we can do better, and that is our challenge in this day. … At this 200-year hinge point in our Church history, let us commit ourselves as members of the Lord’s Church to live righteously and be united as never before. …” — Quentin L. Cook (more…)

Self Certifying Your Worthiness

Posted in Ensign, tagged , , , on 06/24/2018| Leave a Comment »

Today we’re looking at an article in the upcoming July 2018 edition of the Church’s Ensign magazine. Hold on to your Bibles, because this time around it’ll be needed. Sigh…

Ensign, ‘You Can Be Temple Worthy,’ July 2018 “It is our great desire that members of the Church will live to be worthy of a temple recommend. Please don’t see the temple as some distant and perhaps unachievable goal. Working with their bishop, most members can achieve all righteous requirements in a relatively short period of time if they have a determination to qualify and fully repent of transgressions.

God doesn’t reside in buildings man has made. God dwells in the hearts of those who believe in Him!

Acts 17:24 “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands”. (more…)

Mormonism’s Hypocritical Racism Gives False Sense of Equality

Posted in General Conference April 2018, tagged , , on 04/16/2018| 1 Comment »

General Conference, ‘Prepare to Meet God,’ April 2018; “As we look at the primary purposes of the Church, they are all based on equality before the Lord and following the culture of the gospel of Jesus Christ. With respect to missionary work, the principal qualifications for baptism are humbling oneself before God and coming forth with a broken heart and contrite spirit. Education, wealth, race, or national origin are not even considered. …The Savior additionally explained that everyone is our neighbor. The Book of Mormon makes it clear …We must be united and equal before God.” – Quentin L. Cook

Posted in Visiting Teaching, tagged , , , on 09/01/2016| Leave a Comment »

flowers-cartoon-8In this month’s Ensign the Visiting Teaching Message is titled Parenthood Is a Sacred Duty. Despite the title chosen for the message, the message offers very little guidance as to why they believe family is so important.

The article pulls a quote by Quentin L. Cook, from the May 2015 issue of the Ensign where he says: “If we faithfully have family prayer, scripture study, family home evening, priesthood blessings, and Sabbath day observance,” …….” our children will … be prepared for an eternal home in heaven, regardless of what befalls them in a difficult world.
