Purpose of Blog


In December of 2007, Elder Ballard said to the graduates of BYU-Hawaii:
"Today we have a modern equivalent of the printing press in the Internet and all that it means. The Internet allows everyone to be a publisher, to have their voice heard, and it is revolutionizing society. This modern equivalent of the printing press is not reserved only for the elite. The audiences for these and other New Media tools may often be small, but the cumulative effect of thousands of such stories can be great. The combined effort is certainly worth the outcome if but a few are influenced by your words of faith and love of God and His son Jesus Christ. Do not be afraid to share with others your story, your experiences as a follower of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We all have interesting stories that have influenced our identity. Sharing those stories is a non-threatening way to talk to others."
Post your experiences as a missionary and let your light so shine, for "who can glory too much in the Lord?" (Alma 26: 16)

A faithful response

On Sunday I told drove an investigator home after church. She is getting baptized this week. When she stepped out of the car I told her, "Now comes your test of faith this week." Hoping to provide a helpful warning for possible resistance to her decision of being baptized she replied, "Oh, why do I need to watch out, I have finally found peace."

I loved her answer. It reminded me that the Gospel is nothing to be defensive about, or ashamed about, as Paul taught in Romans. It is a position of proactive faith, not reactive faith.
