John 15:13 New International Version (NIV)

With Church leaders no longer condemning birth control, many American Latter-day Saints appear to be using it.

Hey look mom --- We're like the rest of the world now!!!

While you might have seen a decrease in mainstream media reporting regarding Christian persecution, there has only been an increase in the persecution taking place against Christians around the world.

There is no Christian anymore in this town (Arbinda)," said a Barnabas Fund source, noting that all the Christians in the are had fled the town.

Don't feel left out - persecution is coming soon to a village near you soon.

“God,” “Jesus,” “church,” “Bible,” and “Jewish” were replaced by asterisks in their photos. Reportedly, Kmart’s photo printing software deemed the words as profanity.

Since, generally speaking, the church itself is discontinuing and disconnecting from the Book of Mormon as it’s standard, it’s logical to also discontinue productions based on it.  Should soon be coming out with a broadway style musical based on the current brethren.  

She’s sealed to Joseph Smith as a servant, which is a role she had played in her mortal life, since she had been a servant in his household in Nauvoo. So church leaders set her up to play that role for all of eternity.  Hmmmmmm.  

• "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you." And God has a perfect track record for keeping His promises.  Genesis 12:3

Overlayed with "Mormon" church template but highlights some great things to think about including power and authority.  Metaphorically speaking, having the recipe but not being authorized to turn on the oven and bake it doesn't make for  much of a cake in the end.  First Pharaoh had the recipe mostly right but needed more.  Changed ordinances means oven is busted.

"Christ lives! He is the One who redeemed all of us. He has a rightful claim as the Father of us all. In the resurrection we come forth out of the grave as His children, because He purchased with His blood our continued life. We symbolize that when we are baptized by going under the water and coming up again to be born again a new creature in Christ, as a preliminary, ceremonial, necessary sign that we accept Him. He is real. I bear witness of Him. I have stood in His presence. I have spoken with Him. He speaks in plain humility. I am a very poor student of His, and I don't say that to be humble, I say that to be truthful. I wish I were better, but in His infinite wisdom He chooses what He chooses, He does as He chooses, He does it how He wants. Worthy is the Lamb. He came deliberately to offer Himself up as a lamb without blemish. He had the right to live not die, and therefore He had the right to take His life up again, and it's through that medium that we in turn obtain the right to live again. I bear testimony. I bear witness of Him, and I want to express my gratitude to Him for all that He has and is doing, and for the patience that He has shown with all of us." -Denver Snuffer January 2019

"We have bent our knees in submission to the forces of evil, and they have not even fired a shot.”

"Christian persecution and genocide is worse now than it’s ever been in history …Although the media and the Church in the USA largely ignore it, “the reality is that the ground all over the globe is soaked in Christian blood.”
