Christ-like………..
Why, if we are Christian, can’t we all get along? I see a ton of anti-Mormon blogs and web sites on the internet (but it is difficult to find one about Mormons putting down another religion, isn’t it? ;-) ). One can hardly pick up a newspaper today and not see an article about [...]

I grew up attending various churches….Baptist, Lutheran, and even attended the Catholic Church with my wife. But none of these churches could come close to answering the questions that I had. Only The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints answers my questions in a way that not only makes sense, but the Spirit has [...]

Early this morning I dropped my wife Jeannine off at the airport. She will be in Chicago for two days on business, and I already miss her.
On the drive home, I was pondering the relationship between a man and a wife. I find it amazing, in a way, that someone will be born and live [...]
FLDS…..
I’m going to segue from the original topic I was going to comment on today, that of eternal marriage, and comment instead on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Warren Jeffs made the newspaper and USATODAY online today, so I thought it would be a good time to comment on the FLDS, [...]

In the previous blog, I discussed how some great men broke away from the Roman Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation and started their own churches that were more in line to the way they interpreted the Bible.
But these men, in spite of their good intentions, lacked two things: revelation and authority. They lacked the [...]
The Restored Church of Jesus Christ
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not have, nor has ever had, any connection or relationship with any other church or religious group. This position among the Christian denominations of the world is unique. The Mormons are neither Protestant nor Catholic.
I think that this is what irks the other Christian religions, i.e.,the [...]
A Covenant Making People………….
God’s people throughout the history of the world have been a covenant making people, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are also a covenant making people. What is a covenant? In the gospel sense, a covenant is a binding compact, agreement, or promise between man and God. Both the old and [...]

There are 134 temples throughout the world either in operation, under construction or announced. The members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are a temple building people.
Temples serve as the only place where ceremonies such as baptism and eternal marriage can be performed in behalf of those who have died —a practice [...]
Do Mormons celebrate holidays?
While surfing the web, I occasionally see where someone questions whether Mormons celebrate holidays such as Christmas. They question this because many don’t think that Mormons are not Christians. This always baffles me, and I want to ask these skeptics if their church has the name of Jesus Christ in it, as does the Mormon [...]

C. S. Lewis was on my mind today, and I’m not sure why. I have read only a few quotes by him, and know of him, but I have never read anything by him. But I am going to read a book by him entitled , Mere Christianity, one of C. S. Lewis’s best known [...]
