Some people ask why, If we are indeed saved by grace and can't earn our salvation, can't we live a life of sin and still be saved. There are a lot of reasons why we must live for God in order to be saved and in this episode I discuss a few of those reasons.

We often ignore the obvious warning signs of danger and do things that we know are not good, and as a natural result, we pay the price. I recently had some groundhogs in my yard that I gave every opportunity to leave and left no doubt that they were not welcome and were in danger if they stayed, and that story gives a good illustration of the positions we put ourselves into.

When we allow small things to cause us to question our faith, if we don’t take care, they will cause us to loose or faith.

With all of the episodes I have posted on the Mormon Church I thought I should make an episode dedicated to the culture in the church so that those who have never been in the church will have a little better understanding of those who are in the church.

Sometimes we apologize with a self-serving or empty aplogy, and sometimes our apologies blame the one we wronged instead of conveying our sorrow at having hurt them by our poor actions. Through the examples of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Saul and David we are shown some Biblical examples of poor apologies and of some good ones as well.

The entire structure of the LDS Church depends on their claim that the Church that Jesus founded when he was alive fell into complete apostasy after the death of the apostles and that it had to be restored by Joseph Smith. The problem with that claim is that Jesus said the gates of hell would never prevail against his church, so that means that it did not fall away. Another problem is that the LDS Church claims to be a restoration of the original church that Jesus Christ founded, yet it looks nothing like what the Bible teaches of Jesus’ church.

What does our movie and book collection say about our faith? A lot more then we would like to think actually. What we spend the most time on and what we fill our minds with is what is truly important to us, regardless of what we say is important to us. A hard look at my movie collection made me realize I needed to live more intentionally for Christ.

The LDS Church (Mormons) teach that Jesus and the devil are literal brothers, and that all humans are also the literal siblings of Jesus, born through spiritual intercourse by a heavenly father in a natural mother, born just as our bodies were born on earth through parents through natural means. Mormons don’t believe God can create matter, that he used to be a man, and that he is the same species as the devil and sinful humans, just better. This is not Christianity. True Christianity is that Jesus is God and was always God and was not created, nor are humans the same as God and never will be. God is good and we are not.

Humans, by their very nature are sinful creatures and we are so far removed from God that we can never do anything to make up for our failures and be saved, but Jesus died for all that they may be saved if they have faith in Him and accept his grace and mercy.
We are saved by grace alone through faith alone and trying to earn our salvation is like trying to drain the ocean with a sponge, but luckily our salvation is not based on our merits but on Christ’s.

A while back I saw a church sign that said, “You are the only Bible some people will ever read,” and I thought about the implications of that statement and wondered how well or how poorly I am representing Christianity to those around me. A lot of people judge Christianity on the merits of Christians instead of the merits of Christ, and let's face it, it us usually out poor actions that Christianity is being judged by and not our good actions.

The LDS or Mormon Church carefully controls what members of the Church learn about the Church and tells them that getting a good feeling or burning in the bosom is more important than any evidence. Members are also encouraged to ignore any history of the Church that does not faith promoting. For many, many reasons, the LDS Church is NOT a Christian organization.

People are never satisfied with what they have while they have it and they often look at other people as a means to an end, someone to make them happy etc. People also look to Jesus as the means to an end and not the end in and of itself.

Though a lot of members of the church either don't know the doctrine or deny that the church believes it, the LDS Church has as doctrine that God was not always God and had to work out his salvation as a man and eventually became a god and that through obedience to the rules faithful Mormons can become gods.

We, often look at other people, and sometimes ourselves, as damaged goods; something no worth accepting or spending any time or effort of, a lot cause. However, that is not how God looks at us and He loves us and views us as precious.

With the name of Christ put so prominently in the name of the church, many people, including those in the church, mistakenly think The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a Christian church, but the god they serve is night and day different from the God of the Bible and they teach that salvation is earned by works and not given by grace.
