My Fellow Christians, Where is YOUR Love for Mormons?

Here is my response to those who felt that my comments concerning Mormonism were…too harsh and unkind and ‘hitting people over the head’ and ‘scaring them away’, and best of all- ‘unloving’ and ‘un-Christian’:

I spoke with a greater love toward the Mormons than did any of you, Friends.

Sometimes love feels like anger.  Just as when a parent corrects a child, he does it in love.  But his words may seem harsh to the child.  “A father who does not discipline his son hates him”.

There are no words that would have made Mormons happy.  Saying that something is ‘of Satan’ simply can’t be couched in nice words.  Unless YOU

Being ‘Very Close to The Kingdom of God’ Just Doesn’t Cut It!

What a strange two days.  I can tell you all that I never sat at my computer with the intention to write about Mormonism.  It. Just. Happened.  And now that it has, I feel the rightness of it.  I feel the hand of God on me.  I was led to my research.  It’s so funny because I was actually curious about it due to a beautiful picture of Romney loving & celebrating a baby.    I KNEW I liked him and I knew he was a decent man.  ANYONE who loves a baby like that has much goodness in him.  Dare I say that I actually felt a love, an affinity, for the man?  So you can be sure that my curiosity was well-intentioned when it began.  I just wanted to square my Christian beliefs with this Mormon before me whom I had come to so admire.  I did not intend to find anything alarming.  I did not intend to condemn.  I did not intend anything but simple curiosity & hope.  What can I say?  I was blown away.

Part of me just wants to run away from the topic because I know it makes people uneasy.  It makes ME uneasy to write about it.  It makes me vulnerable to criticism (I’m well aware of that) from both Mormons and Christians who might feel that my words hurt Romney’s image and thus, his campaign.  I realize that everyone just wants to ‘get along’.  Me too!

But when a person finds something terribly wrong, should they not speak out?  Wouldn’t they be a coward for hiding the truth just to avoid personal condemnation?  Yes, and yes.

Listen, Friends, I serve Jesus first.  When he saved my life (literally), I promised him that I would be his servant for the rest of my life.  I meant that promise and I fully plan on keeping it.  My life is not my own.  It is his.  And it serves him to warn my friends about Mormonism.  And so, I had to write the article.  Despite any disadvantage to me personally.

Michelle Bachman Needs to Back Off Abortion For 2012

Bachmann Strategy Doesn't Add Up

By targeting Mitt Romney’s weak stance on abortion, Michelle Bachmann is setting up a short term victory, but a long term loss for Republicans in 2012.  Specifically, her call for him to sign the Susan B. Anthony Pledge:

• Only nominate to the U.S. Supreme Court and federal bench judges who are committed to restraint and applying the original meaning of the Constitution, not legislating from the bench;
• Select pro-life appointees for relevant Cabinet and Executive Branch positions, in particular the head of National Institutes of Health, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the Department of Justice;
• Advance pro-life legislation to permanently end all taxpayer funding of abortion in all domestic and international spending programs, and defund Planned Parenthood and all other contractors and recipients of federal funds with affiliates that perform or fund abortions;
• Advance and sign into law a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.

Personally, I am pro-choice but support legislation banning mid & late term abortion as well as partial birth abortions.  If I had my way, a woman would make up her mind in the first two weeks of conception.  And only once.  But that has nothing to do with my objection.
