There’s some good in this world, … and it’s worth fighting for. — Sam Gamgee Once you learn to read, you will be free forever. F. Douglas @Ch_JesusChrist
@XCOMLJ@glennbeck I am a primary teacher with my wife in another state. A primary program is when all the children 3-11 put on a program for the congregation consisting of singing and reading scriptures. So yes, all of the children would have been behind the podium up front.
Allow me to break character for a second and not talk about business ideas.
I actually had to step out of church to get this thought out of my head.
I go to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We used to be called Mormons.
And this morning our dear prophet died. This same morning, one of our churches came under attack. There was a gunman situation and a church of ours is still on fire.
One viral tweet said “Christianity is under attack.” And I don't know if I agree with that statement, and that's not what this post is about.
But the top comment on that post was, “Mormons aren't Christian.” And I just wanted to dispel that myth real quick.
I understand why many evangelicals think this. It's because we have differing views of the Godhead. We believe that the Godhead is three distinct personages, and they believe it's one person.
But just imagine living your life as a Christian, serving others as Christ would, getting to the pearly gates and hearing, “Oh, sorry, you didn't quite understand those four verses in the New Testament quite right. So, you're not allowed in here.”
I just don't believe it works that way.
So, fellow Christians all around the world, know that we're all in this together.
We're on the same side of the table. We're on the same team. And we need each other.
So, if a member of my faith has ever positively impacted you in any way, and then you hear someone say that we're not Christians, please, stand up for us, just like I'll stand up for you.
Abraham Lincoln once said, “I do not like that man. I must get to know him better.”
So, let's get to know each other a little better, and you'll soon see that we are all Christians.
And not only because of what we say, but because of what we do and what we believe.
“As one of the special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world, I testify that He is the Son of the living God. Jesus is the Christ—our atoning Savior and Redeemer. This is His Church, restored to bless God’s children and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.” —Russell M. Nelson (1924–2025).
