The title for April’s message is Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood. Just by looking at the title alone I can see how this could easily turn into a very, very long article, but for the sake of your time, and my sanity, I’ll try to keep it short. If you’d like to indulge in […]
The Visiting Teaching Message this month is titled ‘The Enabling Power of Jesus Christ and His Atonement’. The message begins with Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” It followed this quote from Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Indeed it is by the grace of God that, if we humble ourselves and […]
February’s Visiting Teaching Message is titled, “Christ’s Atonement is Evidence of God’s Love”. While Christians can agree that God showed His love for the world by sending His Son to die upon a the cross as a propitiation for our sins, that’s as far as it goes when it comes to agreeing with this article. […]
John 4:14, 24; “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in […]
Leviticus 26:11-12; “And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” Liahona, ‘Family Joy Is Found in Righteousness,’ December 2016 In this month’s Visiting Teaching Message, Mormons were reminded their happiness […]
For the month of November, I’ve chosen to center my Visiting Teaching Message around the talk Elder Gary E. Stevenson gave during last month’s General Conference. His talk as titled “Look to the Book, Look to the Lord”. In his message Elder Stevenson expresses his view of how the Book of Mormon is the keystone […]
This month’s message teaches us about the importance of eternal families, the role they will play in eternity, and touches on how The Fall made it all come together. Mormons are all about the earthly, biological family we all have, and keeping those families intact throughout eternity. “Families are Forever” is one saying they like […]
In this month’s Ensign the Visiting Teaching Message is titledParenthood Is a Sacred Duty. Despite the title chosen for the message, the message offers very little guidance as to why they believe family is so important. The article pulls a quote by Quentin L. Cook, from the May 2015 issue of the Ensign where he […]
The Visiting Teaching Message in August focuses on church members nurturing their families. Anytime I hear Mormons talk about the importance of families, or recall their old commercials that ended with the line “families it’s about time” (remember those?), I shake my head in disgust and disbelief because I know that’s not what they truly […]
Questions for Today: Which is of greater worth; giving birth, or Blood of Christ? How many babies are equivalent to Jesus’ spilt blood? Before we begin this month’s Visiting Teaching Message we wanted to address a comment we received from a visitor (presumably LDS from the tone), and let him/her know we’ve been praying for […]
