Come listen to living prophets Oct 5 & 6

"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7).

What if Moses, Noah, Abraham, or Peter were on the earth, today?  How much would I want to hear what they have to say?  God, our Heavenly Father, has called prophets and apostles to lead and guide His children on the earth, today.

I invite you to, "Come and see" (John 1:38-42) what God's living prophets are teaching.

You can watch live on

Sat, Oct 5 at 9am, 1pm, and 5pm (Pacific) and

Sun, Oct 6 at 9am and 1pm (Pacific).

How will I measure my life?

People who value influential business theories almost by definition value what Prof. Clayton Christensen has to say.  Ever heard of "disruptive innovation"?  The man essentially invented the theory:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation

In short, the take away from his message (and I strongly suggest investing the whole 19 minutes and 31 seconds) is essentially that, as finite human beings, we often want to achieve profitability here and now, yet that's frequently how great companies fall - they fail to plan long term.  See Lucent, Xerox (re: GUI), AOL, IBM (as a computer maker), etc.  Next, he points out that, as finite humans, we necessarily measure success in aggregate terms (profitability, ROI, how many people someone manages, his "net worth," etc.), yet God, who knows and comprehends all things, measures success in individual terms.  Thus, how we interact with and impact individuals will matter most to God and, consequently (if we accept God as perfectly good), ourselves.

Prof. Christensen's theory is in perfect harmony with what the religious leaders, prophets and apostles, of his church, +The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  (or +Mormon.org) have declared for generations (since Adam, really):

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home" and "the most important . . . work that you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home."

Of all the titles God enjoys and exemplifies, He asks us to call Him Father

This is now one of my favorite Mormon Messages, probably because, as a father, it hits so close to home for me:  I feel like I understand my relationship with our Heavenly Father so much better, now I have an opportunity to raise "children of my own."

Although I'm often oblivious to video-graphic elements, I loved the angles, effects, and symbolism running throughout this video and really hope you watch it.  I'm confident you'll love it.

Today's Spiritual Message: Our Eternal Life

Who am I?  Why am I here on earth?  Where did I come from?  Where will I go when I die?

If you've ever asked these questions, I invite you to find answers in the video, below.

Today's Spiritual Message: Prophets and Apostles

There are prophets and apostles, again, on the earth, today.  Think of it:  Men like Moses, Noah, and Abraham.

I invite you to learn what they taught last Saturday and Sunday at the semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Read, watch, listen to, or download their messages at gc.lds.org.

Here is what the chief prophet and apostle, President of the Church Thomas S. Monson had to say, during his principal message (almost like a keynote):



"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7).

Memo to MSM and other liberals: Harry Reid is (also) a Mormon(!)

Cross-posted from my Google+ account:

Occasionally, I see headlines like the one below (The Mormon factor won't go away for Romney), and, over the next few months, as the MSM rolls out a vigorous defense of its liberal-in-chief, I'm certain we'll see plenty of whispers and silent gasps that Mitt Romney is a Mormon (and he was even a Mormon Bishop before he became a politician!): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/29/mitt-romney-mormon-bishop_n_1386592.html

What's this man's religion?

On the other hand, how often do we hear that the, arguably, second-most-powerful man in the world, Harry Reid, is also a Mormon? Hmm.

Maybe the MSM and its liberal friends would bluster, "Well, Harry Reid's not really a Mormon!" Excuse me? In 2007, I physically sat in attendance when Senator Reid declared, "I am a Democrat because I am a Mormon, not in spite of it" (italics mine). http://byudemocrats.org/?p=32

Wait, so why attack Mitt Romney for his odious beliefs and, let's face it, weird lifestyle, when Senator Reid says they're the very reason he's a Democrat?

As I shared this past December, 76% of Republicans said they were comfortable with having a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a Mormon) as President of the US. Democrats? Only 46% said the same:

WHY?

Dare I be so recklessly bold as to submit the survey results were likely contextual to Mitt Romney's presidential run and merely represent liberal opposition to a conservative president? Are Democrats simply ignorant of Senator Reid's declaration of faith or do they brush it under the rug, so long as he supports abortion and ballooning the size of government and the welfare state?

So, tell me, my liberal friends and MSM, when are we going to start gasping and whispering that, horror of horrors, SENATOR MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID IS A MORMON!?
