ITS EASY TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LOVE!
Posted On 09/01/2008 16:04:37
ITS EASY TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LOVE!
 
You love your children, you even keep pictures of them in your wallet, so that you can show them off to strangers, people you dont know, or just met.
Movies, you find were an excellent watch, worth seeing, or books worth reading.
You want to share your favorite resteraunt with your friends, or even people who may ask you if you know of any good resteraunts that you would recommend.
ITS EASY TO TALK ABOUT ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LOVE!
 
You dont need to be "reminded" to do these things, it just comes NATURALLY!
No need to put such topics on a "to do" list, it just comes NATURALLY!
 
AND WHY IS IT EASY TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS WE LOVE??
 
Because it is a "natural" feeling to want to "share" with other people those things in your life that make you "feel good"
We want other people to have that same "goodness" that we experience,  from that of a good resteraunt, movie, book, etc.
Your love with your children, and the joy that they bring. 
 
You want to share those feelings with other people right? 
 
well what about GOD!
DONT YOU LOVE GOD!
 
How much of a desire to want to share things that are temperal, all the more to want to share things that are ETERNAL!!
 
When you see new faces in your ward, dont you friendship them? 
Do you have a LIMIT in friendshipping people?
If there were 5 new faces in your ward, would you only frienship 2?
 
And our reason to friendship is.... to share the love of Christ, to keep the tension....to keep a stronghold
To have a friend!  Someone we can talk to , share our life with... well...
 
How many nonmembers are in this world who NEED YOUR FRIENDSHIP!  Do you have a limit to spreading the love you possess inside you to other people only because they dont belong to our church?
 
I didnt always belong to this church, I am now,  THANK GOD  (baptised June 24, 2007)
I am forever grateful to be a part of this family, because i know what i have!
I have the constant companion of the Holy Ghost dwelling inside of me, testifying the truth of all things unto me, giving me great desire to share this love of GOD with THE WORLD !  We are ALL his children!
 
How can you feel good about yourself , keeping all of GODs goodness within you and not sharing it with the world,? Sometimes it only takes being a "friend" to someone ,  Because you dont know how strong of an effect you have on people just by the way you live your life!  People notice that, you can become a great influence on others just by being an example by how you live your life, with family prayer, blessing your food,  family home evenning.  My GOD,  most people in this world dont hold these values, but thrive on them.  Its also contageous, but just like a cold is contageous , how can anyone catch what you have if they arent close to you?
Let people in your lives, people who need your friendship,  just knowing you, put your faith in GOD let him show you how, its not hard,  you dont have to have a stranger move in your home, just simply know other people, let them know you, dont be afraid of who you are!  People long for such a life, believe me i know!
Dont preach to people, let people grow a desire to want to know more about our church by them wanting to know more about your friendship to them.
 
It is my prayer, sisters and brothers, that this deep desire i have may touch your hearts, so that you have this same desire that i do,  i hope my words will become your acts.
I say this with all of my faith , and knowlege, and heart, thru thy son Jesus Christ.
Amen,    Rhonda Chantell Ferranti     (Dessert View Ward, Las vegas , nevada)

I HAVE ONE QUESTION TO ASK EVERY MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST...
Posted On 08/21/2008 18:39:13

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS,

I HAVE ONE QUESTION TO ASK YOU: (OK, MORE THAN ONE)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE?

I SPEAK MAINLY TO THOSE BORN INTO THIS FAMILY.  COULD YOU IMAGINE WHAT LIFE WOULD BE WITHOUT GOD?

WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT IF YOU DIDNT KNOW JESUS CHRIST?

BECAUSE YOU WOULDNT BE HERE RIGHT NOW, ON THIS WEB SITE, FOR WITHOUT GOD IT WOULDNT EXIST.

COULD YOU EVEN IMAGINE WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE WITHOUT GOD?  DOES THE ANSWER NOTHING COME TO MIND?

BECCAUSE LIFE WITHOUT GOD, IS NOTHING.

NOW LOOK AROUND YOU, IN THIS WORLD, HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THIS CHURCH, WHAT DO THEY HAVE?

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF, ATTENDING YOUR WARD EVERY SUNDAY, PARTAKING OF THE SACRAMENT, FILLING UP WITH GODS BLESSINGS HE POURS UPON YOU, AND NOT SHARE IT WITH THOSE AROUND YOU!!

WHY MUST YOU BE REMINDED, TO SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY WITH OTHERS, AND NOT ASSUME THAT MISSIONARY WORK IS JUST FOR THE ELDERS OF OUR CHURCH.  DEAR BROTHER AND SISTER, THE ELDERS NEED "US" TO BRING THEM SOULS!  THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE  THIRSTY TO KNOW OF THE TRUTH.  I ASK YOU, IF YOU HAVE BEEN A MEMBER ALL YOUR LIFE, THAT LONG, HOW MANY "PASS A LONG" CARDS HAVE YOU PASSED OUT?  LET ME ASSURE YOU, PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW!  I RIDE THE BUS EVERYDAY, I KEEP MY BOOK OF MORMON ON MY LAP, PEOPLE ASK WHAT I AM READING, THERE I BEGIN TO SHARE MY TESTIMONY WITH EVERYONE AROUND.  PEOPLE CAN ARGUE ABOUT DOCTRINE, BUT THEY CANNOT ARGUE ABOUT YOUR TESTIMONY! THEY CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE YOU OR NOT, BUT THEY CANNOT ARGUE WITH IT. 

SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY!

PASS OUT THOSE CARDS TO EVERYONE AROUND YOU, NO EXCUSE, YOUR IN THE WORLD, YOU HAVE MANY CHANCES TO DO THIS WORK, AND YOU WILL BE SO SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT TO LISTEN! 

GOD IS CONTAGOUS.  ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MENTION JESUS CHRIST.

IN YOUR EVERYDAY, SMALL CHATS WITH PEOPLE:  "HI, HOW ARE YOU, NICE WEATHER," ADD THIS ONE TO BECOME YOUR OTHER CASUAL QUESTION:  SO , DO YOU GO TO CHURCH?  WATCH PEOPLES EYES LIGHT UP!  FOR ONE THING, THAT QUESTION IS UNEXPECTED, AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO, THAT THEIR SOUL IS THIRSTY FOR THE TRUTH!

HOW DARE YOU, KEEP ALL THAT GOODNESS TO YOURSELF, AND MUST BE REMINDED TO DO GODS WORK!

AS YOU WALK IN PUBLIC ON THIS WORLD KNOWING THAT PEOPLE ALL AROUNJD YOU, ARE WANTING TO KNOW THEIR PURPOSE IN LIFE, AND YOU HAVE GODS NUMBER, BUT NOT GIVE IT TO THEM?

WHEN YOU DISCOVER AN EXCELLENT RESTRAUNT , DONT YOU BRAG ABOUT IT TO YOUR FRIENDS!  "OH YOU HAVE TO GO HERE! THEY HAVE THE BEST FOOD IN TOWN!  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT,!   OR OH! THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE ! YOU MUST GO AND SEE "WHATEVER")

DO TELL ME, 

DO YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED WHEN YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT GREAT PLACES TO EAT, OR MOVIES TO WATCH?

NO!  YOU HAVE THAT DESIRE TO SHARE WHAT MADE YOU FEEL SO GOOD WITH OTHERS, SO THAT THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING YOU HAVE RIGHT!

WELL???  WHAT MORE THAN SO TO SHARE THE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS OF GOD! 

LIFE WITHOUT GOD IS NOTHING!  SHARE , SHARE , WHAT YOU HAVE , WITH OTHER PEOPLE!

AND IF YOU DONT HAVE THAT , WHAT SHOULD BE YOUR NATURAL FEELING (DESIRE) TO SHARE  YOUR TESTIMONY WITH OTHERS, PERHAPS YOU NEED TO RE-EVALUATE YOUR TESTIMONY,  PRAY AND ASK GOD TO REVIVE YOUR TESTIMONY SO THAT YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING IN THIS WORLD!  DONT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR BLESSINGS,  THE MORE YOU DO SUCH A SIMPLE ACT AS PASSING OUT CARDS, THE MORE GOD WILL APPOINT PEOPLE YOUR WAY TO HEAR HIS TRUTH.

PRAY, AND ASK GOD FOR THIS DESIRE.

THAT IS ALL I WANT TO DO IN THIS LIFE, IS TELL THE WORLD WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR ME,! HE SAVED MY LIFE!  GOD IS AWESOM!

YOU KNOW WHY I DESIRE TO SHARE MY TESTIMONY?  BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!!  I HAVE THE GIFT  AND CONSTANT COMPANION OF THE HOLY GHOST, BACKING ME UP ALWAYS, AND ALL WAYS. (SEE MY TESTIMONY : MIRACLE)

I PRAY THAT THIS MESSAGE GETS THROUGH TO ALL THOSE WHO ASSUME THAT MISSIONARY WORK IS FOR ELDERS ONLY, 

YOU CANT HAVE A GOOD TEAM IF ONLY 2 ARE PLAYING THE FIELD.  LET YOUR COMMUNITY KNOW THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 MORMONS IN THEIR AREA THAT KNOCK ON DOORS,  PASS OUT CARDS TO ALL THOSE YOU COME ACROSS IN YOUR LIFE, AND MEET BY CASUSAL AQUAINTANCE, FOR THERE ARE REASONS WHY WE KNOW ONE ANOTHER,

I SAY THIS THROUGH THY SON JESUS CHRIST, AMEN            rhondavow

COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF MORMON
Posted On 03/03/2008 11:47:15

Dear Reader:
     In the Book of Mormon is the Gospel in its fulness.  You belong to a church.  You prabably have a confession of faith.  If there is the least shadow of doubt in your mind as to the truth of what you believe, the origin of your odinances, or the divine approbation of your worship, you would do well if you compare your faith and practices with the teachings of our Lord, as recorded in this Sacred Record.  If they do not correspond with these teachings, they are not his and remember the promise is given:___
     "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost." (Moroni 10:4) (Signed) Janne M. Sjodahl.
