Isaiah 35:8 “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.”
With the advent of each General Conference, Visiting Teachers are instructed to choose a talk from the conference to use as a lesson for that month’s Visiting Teaching Message. With no pun intended, I’ve chosen to use Mr. Monson’s talk on ‘Choices’. You can read his talk in full at the link below.
Which Mormon Prophet is Telling You the Truth?

Topic: Qualifications to Become Sons of God
10th LDS Prophet/President Joseph Fielding Smith
Doctrines of Salvation 3:250; “Now they who enter into the terrestrial kingdom, and they who enter into the telestial kingdom will not be sons of God in the sense in which this term is used here. Of course we are all the children of God, every soul on the earth; we are His offspring, but in the great kingdom that shall be established in exaltation, all who receive exaltation will become sons of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ and entitled to all the privileges and all the blessings of the Fathers kingdom. What a wonderful privilege that is! This blessing will not come to the inhabitants of the telestial and the terrestrial worlds. (Conference Report, April 1942, p. 28; emphasis added) We are taught that we are the offspring of God, yet only those who obey will be called the sons of God and the children of God.” – Joseph Fielding Smith

We gathered a few quotes from the General Conference the LDS Church held this past weekend and wanted to share what we thought were the most newsworthy with you!
Later this week I’ll be publishing an article on an e-mail I received from a dear Christian friend who actually watched the Saturday morning session. She wrote to give me her insights on the main points she picked out. I highly value the insight of those who’ve never been Mormon and like to include their biblical wisdom with Mormons to provide a different perspective.
Baptismal Interview Questions Part 2
Posted in Baptism into the Mormon Church, tagged Jesus, joseph smith, Mormon, prophet, Thomas S. Monson on 11/20/2013| Leave a Comment »
This will be part 2 in my series on the questions asked of people before they become baptized members of the Mormon Church. This second set of questions is focused on the individuals “testimony” of church leaders who’ve been called to be prophets of this organization.
Question #2-
Do you believe the Church and gospel of Jesus Christ have been restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith?
Mormon doctrine teaches that a Great Apostasy occurred after Jesus was crucified and the apostles died, and with it came the loss of all gospel ordinances and priesthood authority. And because these things need to be restored God choose Joseph Smith to be his prophet and restorer of their faith.
