A Challenge for Mormons

For the members of the LDS Church that clam I know nothing of there faith, I want to set up a Challenge.  Last night I ordered a copy of “Teachings of Thomas S. Monson” and I plan to read a chapter and then write a review on each Chapter based on what the bible says and what past LSD prophets have said. 

But as I read this book and take notes and write on them I ask for any Mormon to read a book from a Christian writer and see what we have to say.  (Below is a list of books you should pick from)

• The Mormon Mirage by Latayne C. Scott
• Mormonism Unmasked by R. Philip Roberts
• 3:16 The Number of Hope by Max Lucado
• Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe by Mark Driscoll
• Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
• Vintage Jesus by Mark Driscoll
• The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke And John) and Romans in the ether the NIV or The Holman Christian Stander Bible

All these books you can find on Amazon. Will you take this Challenge, I am

Announcing the Compassionate Boldness Conference

From: http://blog.mrm.org/

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Bill McKeever

Friends of MRM,

We are down to a mere month and a half before we hold our 2011 Compassionate Boldness Conference (Oct. 14-15, 2011). Unlike MRM’s Compassionate Boldness Symposiums, the conference features the expertise of a number of people who are actively engaged in sharing the gospel message with our Latter-day Saint friends and loved ones. We thank Pastor Terry Long of Calvary Chapel Salt Lake City for graciously hosting this event.

This year Rob Bowman will be our main plenary speaker. He will be addressing the subject of LDS exaltation. What does the Bible say about this and is this really just a another version of theosis? Our wide range of topics will be an asset both to those who are familiar with Mormonism, and those who are just getting acquainted with this fascinating religion.

We hope you will help us make this conference a great success by mentioning it to your friends, congregations, Facebook pages, web sites, etc. I have attached a variety of promotional material. This is includes flyers, post cards, and bulletin inserts. Feel free to print and distribute whatever works for you. In order to encourage early registration we are offering substantial tuition discounts.

I thank you for your past support and hope you will pray that God will use this event to encourage Christians to share their faith with compassion and boldness.

I look forward to seeing you October 14-15, 2011!

Why My Heart Breaks for Mormons

I have been living in Utah for 3 months now and my heart breaks every day. I have seen so many people who follow the Mormon faith that are really great people but will go to Hell if they do not change their ways. There are 2 people that come to my mind and I won’t give their names, but I know these 2 people that are Mormons and my heart hurts.

One of these people is very active in the Mormon Church and as one person says, “Is very Mormon.” The other is what is known as a, “Mormon by name only”. This is a person that does not follow the faith much at all but says they are Mormon because at one time they were baptized into it, and it looks good for business.

Being a Baptist Pastor and being called to Utah by God, it’s my job to show the truth to these people. I have talked with the “Mormon by name only” and have found that she is very lost. They are not Mormon or anything for that fact. She is a person that believes that Mormons are Christians and that she attends other churches when she feel like it.

Now one must understand that once you have joined the Mormon Church, you are told that all others churches are wrong and if you’re seen in another church, you can lose whatever position you hold and if you have a business, you could lose it. Now I know that this concept my sound a little out there, but it is the truth. It’s like once your Mormon, you’re Mormon or you’re dead to them.

This has put fear into a lot of people in Utah about leaving the Mormon Church. As I was talking to the “Mormon by name only”, I told her that the God of the bible and the god of the book of Mormon are two very different beings. For one, the God of the bible is real and the god of the book of Mormon is not. (Now I did not say it so blunt but for the blog this is how I will explain it.) The 2^nd time I talked to her, she once again told me how glad she was that I moved here to spread the truth, or in her words, “Another form of the truth.”

The other person I have not been able to talk with yet, but I pray for him every day. I have still not had any Mormon missionaries come to my door and I have been bumped about that one.

But I write this because my Heart is breaking everyday for them. I live among a great group of people but they are lost to this cult known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Please pray from them and me as I work with them and tell them the truth.

Until next time…
