Idolatry is the action of demeaning God’s character by redefining who He is, and then passing the bogus information on to those around you. The title for this month’s Visiting Teaching Message is ‘Temple Ordinances and Covenants’, making the subject matter self-explanatory. However, before we dig in, let’s take a look at their subject matter […]
Soon after the General Conference in early April, we posted a Visiting Teaching Message on April 14th, and used Thomas Monson’s speech ‘Choices’. When I checked back two weeks later (April 29th) to retrieve the message for May, I saw they had listed another Visiting Teaching Message for April. Sooo…here is another VT Message for […]
Isaiah 35:8 “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.” With the advent of each General Conference, Visiting Teachers are instructed to choose […]
This month’s Visiting Teaching Message was a recipe for confusion. The title for this lesson was ‘Created in the Image of God’, and it looks like their goal was for teachers to promote the idea all of mankind was created in the exact image of the Mormon god. The article from which this lesson came […]
The title of this month’s Visiting Teaching Message is ‘Marriage is Ordained of God’. As most of you know, each month I find myself on my knees praying to sweet Jesus the next month’s message won’t be as bad, and much to my chagrin, somehow it’s the same, or even worse. Ugh. Although this month’s […]
Liahona, ‘The Family: A Proclamation to the World,’ January 2016 This month the LDS’ Visiting Teaching Message was a rededication of their beloved ‘Family Proclamation’, originally given by Gordon B. Hinckley in 1995. The message was one of the shortest I’ve seen yet, as far as VT Messages go, but unfortunately, that didn’t mean their […]
Keeping with the theme for 2015, the Visiting Teaching Message for December is on one of the divine attributes of Jesus. This time around they focused on ‘Compassionate and Kind’. As we all know, Mormons will discredit the Bible stating it hasn’t been translated correctly, and use bits and pieces of it anyway. This month’s […]
General Conference, ‘Worthy of Our Promised Blessings,’ October 2015 As many of you know, when the Church holds General Conference twice a year, they instruct Visiting Teachers to use a talk from the conference as their lesson the following month. In light of that, I chose to use the talk ‘Worthy of Our Promised Blessings’ […]
The Visiting Teaching Message for October focused on Jesus’ divine attributes of charity and love. At least that’s what the headlines said, but as is always the case in Mormonism, now for the rest of the story! This month’s lesson told women that by understanding the Savior’s attributes, they’ll be able to increase their faith […]
This month’s messages focuses on the divine attributes of being meek and humble. It goes without saying that all followers of Jesus Christ should strive to develop these attributes and pursue His example, as we cultivate meekness in our lives and learn to be humble. However, I can’t help but feel based on my own […]
