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 […]
Hello, I’d like to begin this new segment on our blog by discussing salvation.
