I have a broken pelvis from a bike accident when I was in my early 20’s. I have increasingly been less and less active over the last five years as a result of increase pain and lack of mobility with that leg. After consulting with a few doctors, I have determined I need total hip replacement. Not a big deal these days. But I need to lose some weight and get myself healthier to do this.
Tad Callister’s Argument for the Book of Mormon
Tad Callister, author of the Infinite Atonement, recently spoke at Ensign College about facts that support the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. This talk was fascinating. Some of his arguments were absolutely amazing. This thoughtful and well-constructed talk argues in favor of the Book of Mormon. We will be looking at some of these arguments.
Hello Saints Review by Stand Firm Saints
I recently came across a video by Stand Firm Saints with a pretty solid stance against Hello Saints. If you have read any of my posts you will know I really like Hello Saints, but I am also critical of some of the content. His teachings and perspective confirm to me that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church.
Bible Truths
Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

This is the lady we were never able to teach long ago. 3 months ago. Anyhow, she’s interesting. She couldn’t have children and drank a lot, smoked a lot, and did a lot of cocaine. One day she prayed to God and told him if she could have a child, she would quit all that stuff. 2 weeks later she was pregnant. We happened to come by the first time just after she had the baby. Now she is a lot more comfortable with it. This is a very good time for her to get baptized.
Fanatics
I watched a program by Cwic Media on YouTube where Greg Matsen was talking about a woman who had become an end of the world fanatic. The basis of the discussion was this:
“Active Latter-day Saint Mother and daughter take unsuspecting son, Blaze Thibaudeau, to an unknown wintery gathering in the north. They leave without the father’s knowledge. The Mother, her brother, and the adult daughter appear to have gotten involved with an end-times cult. The Davidic Servant is supposed to be someone who is to prepare the way for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.”
RESPONSE – Pastor’s HONEST Response to Latter-day Saints: Baptism
OK, here is my response to Pastor Jeff’s response. That sounds link of funny. Let me start by saying I really like Pastor Jeff. I also really enjoy how he breaks down and articulates he beliefs in comparison to LDS beliefs. He has done this enough now that he is really gaining a strong understanding of LDS theology and I think does well articulating the differences. Even though I will be somewhat critical of him, I really do love him and what he is doing. I just think he is wrong.
ZION IS A STATE OF BEING
I was reading in the book “The Triumph of Zion” and came across a section in chapter 3 where John illustrates three simple facts about Zion. I’m going to break these parts down.

So, a few things. I didn’t write about it, but I remember the baptism at Rockaway Beach. It was the only baptism I went to at the beach. I remember there being a dozen missionaries there and the beach was loaded with hundreds of people if not more, all in their swimming attire. After the person was baptized, everyone on the beach started clapping. Yes, we did have pagers. I had one. I thought I was cool beans.
