Does it meet the Test part 2!!!!

Ok so for part 2 today the topic is....... drum roll........

2. The True church must bear the name of Christ!

Bear the name of Christ. What do you think that means? I asked a few people if they would answer this question.

My Mission President and His wife answered- "It means EVERYTHING! It is not Monson's church. It is Christ's church He is the one I follow. The restoration means putting things the way they were previous it is not man made and it was established when Christ was here."

My companion Sister Ang-"Christ lead the Church back then. And only through Christ can we go back to him. It would make sense that His Church, would have His name and do what we can, to be like Him and rely on Him. Because through Him, we all return to Heavenly Father."

Dale Roberts- "Christ told us (according to the New Testament) that his church would bear HIS name. Therefore, if you were trying to find HIS church, wouldn't it make sense to look for one that Bore his name? Jesus Christ...not the church of (insert some man's name here), or the church of (insert some sect's name here), or even Christ's Church or the Church of Christ, but the Church of Jesus Christ."

A fellow missionary Elder Hatch- "I was talking to an individual the other day who said he was a part of the people's church. I was confused and said our church has people in it as well. He says its called "The people's Church" I was taken aback. You see I am thankful for a loving Heavenly Father that wants me to improve. If my church said your fine how you are, don't worry about growth, well that would let me know that was a false church. The church I am a part of is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. It is Christ's church and as such has the authority to ask things of its members. We cannot be complacent. I am a saint of the latter days. Christ is coming again, and I have a moral obligation to do my best to mold the world around me, into a place He would like to be."

Ephesians 5:23 Christ is the head of the Church!

Ephesians 1:22-23 Christ is head over all things to the church!

1 Corinthians 1:10-13

Colossians 1:18

All these things say the same thing! It is so important that Christ be the Head of the Church! It really does mean EVERYTHING that the true church Bear the name of Jesus Christ.

The Challenge the "Book of Mormon" makes to the world

I have a strong testimony that the Book Of Mormon is true! I love it and I read it everyday. I constantly pray to have a reassurance that it is true. I know with all of my heart, might, mind and soul that it is TRUE! The reason I pray constantly to know that it is true is to have an unwavering testimony of it. I know Joseph Smith translated it for the world to read. I don't want to hide the principles and teachings it has of Jesus Christ in it from the world. I know it is ANOTHER Testament of Jesus Christ that HE LIVES! And that He loves ALL nations kindred, tongue and people. If our Heavenly Father wants to give us more scriptures to know that He and His son live how dare we say they can't! This wonderful book does NOT replace the Bible! It builds upon the truths that are in it! I love it and I invite you to read it and find out for yourself that it is true. I found this challenge and I want to share it.

Planning and executing my trip to Europe!

On February 1st I decided I would take a trip to Europe! I was sitting at work at H&R Block and talking with a coworker and just randomly decided that I would go visit a friend in Spain. As time went on I didn't know if it would be possible but I was determined. I decided I would go donate plasma to help earn money. I donated once and it was an interesting experience. The following week on Feb 9 I got a letter from them telling me I couldn't donate plasma anymore because I got a false positive for a test, so they couldn't trust my blood. I was super bummed about it, but I was still determined. I was constantly looking at flights and playing around with dates, departure cities, and arriving cities. On February 11 I found a great flight to Paris on April 24 and coming back on May 25, so round trip for only 420$! For that price I can fly to my family in GA round trip! So I pulled the money together that day and I bought it! I just made a life long dream a reality. ...

Book of Mormon

There is a power to the Book of Mormon that you can't find in any other book. Everyone feels that Mormons replace the Bible with the Book of Mormon which is NOT true! The Book of Mormon is ANOTHER testament or witness of Jesus Christ and it expands, confirms and builds upon the truths in the Bible. Every principle in this book is focused on Jesus Christ and how we as a people can come closer to him. One passage says that the Book of Mormon "shall establish the truth" of the Bible "and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved" 1 Nephi 13:40 My testimony of the Book of Mormon is what I strive to share! I KNOW it is true with all of my heart! Everything that the Book of Mormon states helps you draw closer to Christ.
