    On the morning of Friday 2nd of March, i was invited to perform for a group of students at the Institute of Religion at Utah Valley University in Orem Utah. It will be a day that will not easy be forgotten. Before i got up to give my presentation, a choir filed neatly into position behind me and began to sing. From the first note, all my senses was grabbed hold upon by a heavenly sound that left me breathless. I had to do a 360 turn to see who it was singing. I didn't take my eyes off them until they had finished. By the end, i was overcome with tears. It's lucky i don't wear mascara
    During the musical presentation, i felt a strong witness of the spirit, telling me i needed to take this choir to the studio and record the song they sang with them.
    Thanks to Utah valley University Institute of Religion for allowing me to hijack 70 choir members who all boarded the bus at 3.15am and travelled over 150 miles to arrive in time to shoot at first light.

      Sadly, there is no such belief. Almighty God has given us the witness of our conscience and the witness of his majesty in creation as confirmation that he abides ever watching the affairs of man.
      The truth of God as revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ defeating sin in the flesh and waiting for the appointed time in which he shall judge the works of man according to the will of his father.
      But, except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.
      Jesus said I am come that they might have life.
      Nothing in this perishing world can compare with the love of God as revealed in Christ Jesus.

    i wanted to know why i am here and where i am going
    I showed god how much Desire i had by reading the book of mormon, praying, providing service, and repenting of my sins
    I have felt the spirit and have had so many amazing experiences since i have had the desire to know and i owe it all to god for never leaving me

    Always though that you were just another talented person, until i came across this song. And i request, that you can make more worship songs. Use this opportunity to spread the gospel, and let His Spirit intervene into the lives of those who hear this song,

    First, let me just say; PROUD To Be a Mormon, Even More PROUD to be a CHILD OF GOD. Very Inspirational VID -Will NEVER be ashamed to acknowledge and serve GOD in my life. May I just humbly share; that Whatever our religious preferences or differences, in faith, may we All come to know that in GOD's KINGDOM there is room enough for ALL OF US, for even Christ let us know that "WHOSOEVER Will, May Come." I testify that come what may, your decision to serve Christ, and let God be first in your life, is one you will Never Regret. Other things maybe, but never that....

    • @markjohnson1978
      @markjohnson1978 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Is it true that Mormons believe you can not reach the celestial kingdom without being baptized, receiving the gift, getting endowments, and getting married? If so, how could a person of a different religious preference still be allowed in? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just want to know if my understanding is correct. Also, if you have free agency, how do you opt out of the afterlife altogether? Is it freedom if you only have two choices? Is it freedom if we never had the choice to be created? If we have free agency, then why don't we have the choice to stop our own existence? These are things I don't understand about Mormonism. I'm proud to have been raised Mormon, given the fantastic family values, ethics, and emphasis on reading. However, never fully agreed with the beliefs of the after life. Thanks.

    • @beccag.341
      @beccag.341 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Mark, your questions are great ones and should and ought to be answered. First of all above all, let me say I believe in a merciful loving God, who is gathering His children unto Himself and has sent out Christ and all who will help Him to gather His children unto Him. In the scriptures it says that God's Greatest quality is love. For He God, so loved the world that he sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him would not perish but have everlasting life. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, I would hope that the message is consistent across the board. But based on my experience being an LDS member we're taught that the plan of salvation revolves around, Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving of the gift of the Holy Ghost/ Holy Spirit ('baptism by fire') by the laying on of Hands, and Enduring to the end. To the LDS member enduring to end means / represents being obedient to the teachings of Christ, keeping of the commandments, partaking in the sacrament (on the principle where Christ said as often as you this you remember me) choosing daily to live the life that is Christ-like, or would represent Him. Doing the things that God and Christ has asked of you. These things represent the door and path to making it into the kingdom. I'm not going to pretend that there aren't times when I too have questions. But I trust in Christ as my compass and believe that God will direct me through His Holy Spirit when I put Him first and seek Him out. I also understand that the church does believe that one of the prerequisites to attain celestial Kingdom glory (or to get to that kingdom,) it requires the making and keeping of sacred covenants with God (sealings and endowments), and being married in the temple also, however based on previous responses to my questions, you can make it to the celestial kingdom without having been married based on having been married based on how one lived their life like Hyrum or Alvin (one of the brothers of Joseph Smith.) But God is the ultimate judge on that one. According to what the church teaches, even if you do not get a chance to marry in this life, you may get the opportunity to do so in eternity where you have that option. I am not currently married. LDS believes that everyone who did not get a chance to follow God correctly but had the desire will get eventually get to at some point. Eternity is a pretty long time. All Men/male and female, on earth will get an opportunity to inherit a kingdom glory based on how well they followed after Christ in this life. -Those who were valiant in faith towards God and Christ (inherit the celestial kingdom), those who were not so valiant but otherwise good beings (inherit the telestial), and those who didn't try as much inherit terrestrial. Those who utterly reject God and Christ after all the work is done or all opportunity is exhausted would be sent out in outer darkness. It's almost like imagining a person going to university on a spiritual level and graduating, with the difference between a Bachelor's, Master's or PHD degree almost, or flunking out (-kind of). But how well we do depends on how well we were personally willing to do knowing what the criteria was. We all get saved through Christ because that is the free gift from God, but what we enjoy at the end of it is up to how much of it we desired and worked toward it (as much or as little). They will each be great places to be but each one greater than the other. Someone of a different faith but who eventually trusts in Christ at one point or the other in this life or the afterlife will be allowed in one of these 'worlds' or 'glories' in the kingdom. Just like we are taught and see that there are different stages of growth for the human being in their lifecycle; first you are a fertilized egg and embryo and develop from baby to boy to man/ adult, there is a spiritual growth process where we grow into a state of perfection and eventually inherit the kingdom where God is when we fully achieve being Christ-like. But it is a process that encompasses our entire existence not simply in terms of earthly time but time in the sense of eternity. According to LDS teachings; we did exercise our free agency in the pre-mortal existence and chose to come to earth to have human body and endure the tests that we do /have in this life we just don't remember it, but will when Christ returns and reveals all things to us. We all accepted to be here in the beginning, we just have to endure to the end in this life; we'll be smiling in the end....

      Becca G. I am not Momon, but i did grow up in a Christian home. I believe we all need to look at where our beliefs are the same, then learn and grow from each other where we differ from. all the mainstream denominations belief and teach the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Plus Repentance, Baptism of water and of the Holy Spirit. We all also teach the importance of living a Holy life that is pleasing to God, But those who reject Christ will not enter into Heaven.

      Becca G.
      Thank you for your reply to Mark's questions. However, the process for salvation you laid out, "Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving of the gift of the Holy Ghost/ Holy Spirit ('baptism by fire') by the laying on of Hands, and Enduring to the end," seems more focused on what YOU did, which in the theological circles I'm in (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod), is often referred to as "works-righteousness." May I remind you that: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast."-Ephesians 2:8-9. We do not to anything to achieve salvation; rather, it is what Christ has done, for us, on Calvary's cross, "For God so loved the whole world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16.

      The same verses you mention state that "faith without works is dead..."and it goes on to expound. As a Christian/ child of God, I do not argue over the parts that are written. Rather I look at it as a whole and I know that in the big picture of things (whether you only wish to look at just the biblical scriptures or not,) you need both to stand on solid ground. But Christ did not direct none of these things that are all of God to be a burden or yoke around our necks as some portray I, but rather; according to his own words or that of his servants they are all for the perfecting of the saints unto that great and perfect work. That His Father commissioned Him to do, to shape us unto His Image. In the Image of God the Father Himself. So when you see us, you won't simply see just us but the image of God the Father himself, and so that we may be able to dwell in His presence -Holy and acceptable before the Lord (Romans 12:1 "-we ought to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable before the Lord." -Living the life unto which we are called. In order to live that life we have to take certain steps /action. Walk towards Him as countless scriptures admonish and as we walk He draws us unto Himself. Now whether you disagree or not, it is undeniable that that walking requires from us some action on our part. God will not force us to do anything that we do not desire. We must choose Him and "follow" Him. Whether we debate over it or not. Those first couple of steps require some 'effort' from our part and as such does in fact constitute part of the 'work' that 'we' must first fulfill. When we take action from our part, He takes over and puts everything that is supposed to, in order.) We debate over what it is, what it means, etc. But we simply must just do it; read, understand and act. Christ himself said that it is not just he who hears the word that will be saved; but He that DOES it. But in order to do it you must first HEAR it. So yes you are right and yet you are in part, wrong. And perhaps depending on how you want to look at it you could tell me the same. But either way, the truth is, we need both. Both sides are correct, but not in and of themselves. The two are equally important and necessary. Praise God, Serve God and as the Word says simply strive towards the mark; not as though we have already won it, but as though we strive unto it (-knowing though that we are already his.) Faith by itself on its own is only half of it. Acting on our faith in Christ moves the mountains -and demonstrates 'work' on our part. Not because of our own merit but because we love him we follow him and do what he asks of us. Live free and be free in Christ. He is more than that (the sum of our arguments,) and he understands and knows the length and breadth of all of us. Anything He brings you to, he is able strengthen you from on high, and to see you through.

    I was Catholic since birth and a lay Carmelite as well. After a recovery from a life threatening case of lupus in 2000. While very ill, I had a distinct impression to return to the Old Testament to read of the 12 tribes of Israel from the confounding of languages when Babel's tower fell. Two years later, my daughter brought a new friend from school. The family was Provo, Utah. Her mother showed me the forward in the Book of Mormon, that's where it starts. Joined in 2003, no regrets.

    The Ensign isn't to detract from the past, it is current messages of current prophet and leaders of the church, as well as women leaders and children's articles. Stories to uplift, inspire, comfort, etc. Speaking as an LDS member, the church LOVES the founding fathers! The people LOVE the Founding fathers. More than you might be aware. If you do research, you might be surprised to learn something about that too!

    And rise, I will rise

    When this darkness breaks to light
    And the shadows disappear
    And my faith shall be my eyes
    Jesus has overcome
    And the grave is overwhelmed
    The victory is won
    He is risen from the dead
    And I will rise when He calls my name
    No more sorrow, no more pain
    I will rise on eagle's wings
    Before my God fall on my knees
    And rise, I will rise
    And I hear the voice of many angels sing
    Worthy is the Lamb
    And I hear the cry of every longing heart
    Worthy is the Lamb
    And I hear the voice of many angels sing
    Worthy is the Lamb
    And I hear the cry of every longing heart
    Worthy is the Lamb
    (You are worthy, You are worthy)
    Worthy is the Lamb
    I will rise when He calls my name
    No more sorrow, no more pain
    I will rise on eagle's wings
    Before my God fall on my knees
    And rise, I will rise, I will rise

But if you do keep doing what you're doing, God gave you the talents and the means for a reason. I don't know if the choir members check this one. I hope they keep singing for the rest of their lives. Absolutely Beautiful voices!

    The deepest of this peace is found admits the brokenness of sin in our lives. This anchor altho the chastisement of the Lord can feel too much to bare is his hand over us. God knows what he is doing, he stops right before it could over bare us knowing he has brought us to let go and to draw near to him. He brings us to the brink of ourselves and then catches us when we let go and fall, then he mend's us and fills us. Gods constant and consistent faithfulness and Love for us is real Power, Real Love.
    This delicate process, that only The most Gracious, only the most merciful and LOVING God could ever do, is able to let us go and then Hold us close in an instant.
    How he cuts and he heals. how he tends to us in the most perfect way. What power. He is all knowing, he is all powerful. there is NONE like him.
    When he took himself in the form of a man, when he walked on earth as a servant, when he took the rejection and the lashings and the denial of his bride from him. When he was forsaken by the Father when he entered Death. Lord help us to love as you have Loved us and help us to love others how you in our salvation continue to Love us. deeper than the universe, worth more than all creation is your Love, is your power is your name.

    The people I have met that were Mormon were some of the most moral and likeable people I know. I do not share their belief but deeply respect their belief for bringing forth such people to share the world with me. I also respect the history of Mormonism; that it survived despite the attempt of the American government to destroy it. I do see God in the works and words of the Mormons. May all people hear the calling of God and follow it.

    Beautiful song.
    Reading the comments either praising Jesus or flame wars about Christianity, I can't help but be amazed. We all believe something, some are on a spiritual journey, others are encroached in their truth. I might think it's baffling that others don't believe as I do, but so do they. Ultimately, I think true happiness will only be found when we are enough at peace with our beliefs that we don't feel the urge to pull everyone towards it. I am the first one to want to try to make people see "my truth", but a spiritual truth is a very personal journey, that even people from the same family will not necessarily share.

I have followed him since 1965 or so. Alex is the same and since he is usually singing praises to God, even better. All talent is a gift of God and it is up to the holder to develop and share, as it is here done with power and grace.
