“Belief in a counterfeit Jesus”

Posted by On March - 4 - 2011

Let us not focus on the Book of Mormon, modern day Prophets and Apostles, or even the necessary ordinances of the gospel. The foundation we must build upon is that of Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith stated this: The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that [...]  Read More →

When it hits home

Posted by On January - 5 - 2011

The father looks up wistfully from his reading; another argument and another angry outburst of frustration. It had been only a couple of years yesterday when his youngest son announced that he and his young family had left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And when his son came to visit with his [...]  Read More →

A Mormon looks at the Trinity

Posted by On December - 25 - 2010

Another Christmas comes to a close.  Today has turned out to be a perfect day to sit back and feel joy from focusing on the Savior deep in my heart.   Along with pondering how I relate to Him, what He means to me, and how we both fit into the big picture – our respective places in the Universe. For sure, this is not a lecture on what “we” should be thinking about during the Christmas season.  Different Christmases have had different focuses for me.  When my home was filled with younger children, the focus was filling their day with surprises and delight, which takes lots of energy and planning.  Other Christmases have been about travel and visiting.  And it typically has been about finding a creative way to fit the Christmas story into the day somehow by reading or acting it out. This happens to be the quiet Christmas when I’m filled with love and wonder while sitting in front of a cozy, burning fireplace. Ironically, what started this... Read the rest of this entry »

A question to anybody out there

Posted by On November - 30 - 2010

My roommates and I spoke for two hours last night about the Holy Ghost and ended on one last question we could not answer. So I offer it to anyone who maybe has heard the insight we are missing: What is the true purpose of the Holy Ghost within the Godhead? Why can’t Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ fill all the needs the Holy Ghost has?  Read More →

Particular doctrines, specific beliefs, and sacred rites of passages of most religions set forth, in what James Talmage refers to as, “formulated creeds” (Talmage, 1976). One of the very first of these creeds ever to have established did not come out of the First Century of the Common Era but came out of the third [...]  Read More →

The other day, I happened to post on Mormon Apologetics Discussion Board a brief and quick topic on the parallelism that exists between some of those on the Liberal side of politic’s and those who are critic’s of the Mormon faith. In full context, here is the original posting. Recently, I started listening to AM [...]  Read More →

Portrait of Mormon Women: Becky

Posted by On July - 14 - 2010

A Mormons Woman’s story of conversion ~by Becky I sat staring at the surf as I listened to the hypnotic rush of the waves.  My feet were going deeper into the wet sand as it disappeared and then covered them again.  It was one of those quiet moments, when, like it or not, my thoughts ran deep. It had happened before many times as I climbed the trees and sat up high staring at the sunset. Sometimes, it happened as I stared at the clouds as they formed into thunderheads or just floated into funny shapes as I gazed at them.  It was in those quiet moments that eternity seeped into my consciousness. What I didn’t understand was the strange feelings that always accompanied these thoughts. It was a combination of a longing, a deep questioning, a yearning for something unidentified. Strong, sure beliefs of my own had formed in these meditative moments. I was absolutely sure that I did not just become me when I was born.  Any other idea seemed absurd. I felt it in every fiber of my... Read the rest of this entry »
