A few years ago Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave a talk about the aforementioned topic. I thoroughly enjoyed his talk, it has been a talk that I have read from time to time over and over. I especially enjoy the following, “To all of you who think you are lost or without hope, or who think you have done too much that was too wrong for too long, to every one of you who worry that you are stranded somewhere on the wintry plains of…
According to Islam, Jesus Christ was merely a prophet. He did miracles and prophesied but the basis upon which Christianity is founded they dispute. What it really boils down to is, did Jesus Christ atone for the sins of the world and was he crucified and resurrected? Islam would have you believe that it didn’t happen and that the Koran was sent to Mohammed by the angel Gabriel to correct Christianity. So the question I have is this, which one is correct? Who is right? I mean after all you have two different sacred texts in direct contradiction with each…
Today I am thirty-two years old, it is kind of weird because honestly I don’t feel any different than when I was in my twenty’s. Sure my body isn’t what it used to be but that’s just the way things go. Here are just a few things I’ve learned over the years.
While on my mission I had a very unique opportunity to meet a woman who although I don’t remember her name taught me a very valuable lesson. I had been serving for a little over a year when my companion and I received a phone call. A woman had been admitted for alcoholism to a rehabilitation facility in the city where I served. While going through rehab she requested that we could come and give her a priesthood blessing. We of course obliged. We went right over to the facility and promptly gave her a blessing. Now for those of…
Of course there are many other ways to improve our relationship with the Savior; however these are in my opinion the most important.
1. Daily Prayer
Just like any good relationship it takes communication to ensure a strong long lasting and enduring. Prayer should be meaningful and not trite. We should avoid our everyday language and properly address Him. We should use the proper terms for God such as Thee and Thou.
2. Daily Scripture Study
It has been said that when we want to communicate with God we should pray and when God wants to communicate to…
In one of my previous posts “They Can’t Handle the Truth” I blogged about individuals that feel the need to attack our faith, these individuals feel it is incumbent upon them to correct us of our errors. After reading a few more blogs I realized that I didn’t do some of them justice. Unfortunately the situation goes both ways, we as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sometimes come off as judgmental. When someone leaves the church although we may disagree with them for leaving, we should NEVER treat them with the same contempt and…
“Did you ever hear the story about the man who was afraid of lions? Well, he was so scared that he ran and he ran and he ran, and he kept looking behind him to see if a lion was catching up to him. And he looked over his shoulder so much,he didn’t see where he was going. And one day, guess what he ran smack dab into? A lion.”
