WELCOME

This site contains articles primarily directed towards members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (often referred to as Mormons) but everyone who is interested in broadening their outlook on what the Bible, Book of Mormon and other scriptures teach is welcome here. For a better understanding of the purpose for this site please read my Introduction.

New articles are added frequently so please visit regularly. Here are the latest:

Self Esteem

In today's modern society we hear a lot about teaching children to have "self esteem" and since parents want what is best for their children, they strive to instill within them a feeling of self-worth. There is one school of thought that says that parents should never criticize or say "no" to their children because doing so conveys the idea that the child has failed or is incapable of making a right decision.

A second school of thought says that children should be taught to strive for excellence and to never be satisfied with their performance while a third school of thought seeks to take the middle road where parents praise their children for the good they do, criticize them for the things they do wrong, and encourage them to do better. There has been much debate concerning which method is better. This month's article seeks to answer that question by looking at what self-esteem is and what really causes it. Read more...


Love at Home

Marriage is more than just two people living together as husband and wife. It is a close, personal relationship where two people act together as one. What most people don't stop to think about is that there are eternal laws that apply to marriage. Since marriage is about relationships, then it is clear that there must also be eternal laws that apply to the way people relate to one another.

Although these laws work equally well for any kind of relationship, the potential for both positive and adverse consequences are much greater in a marriage than anywhere else. This past article examines one of these laws and how partners can use it to have a better marriage. Read more...

Converted to the Lord

Jesus declared, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). For this reason the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints places great emphasis on doing missionary work through the use of sending forth an army of young missionaries to convince people to become members of our Church.

We further teach that unless a person is baptized by someone having the proper authority they cannot enter into the kingdom of God. The fact that members of the LDS Church commonly refer to newly baptized people as "converts" seems indicate that the word "conversion" means being baptized. But is this what Jesus mean by saying a man must be born again? This former article seeks to answer that question. Read more...
