Why I am a Mormon

I am a mormon because it brings hope, purpose, and joy to my life. I have been raised in this church and have had many, many experiences with the Spirit that have confirmed to me the truthfulness of this gospel.

Personal Stories

How has the Book of Mormon brought you closer to God?

As I read the Book of Mormon, through the stories and lessons, I get a better sense of the nature of God, how He operates and how He feels about His children. The Book of Mormon teaches us God's plan for his children. Most importantly, reading the Book of Mormon invites the Spirit into my life. I feel that the Spirit, more than anything else, is what brings me closest to God. The Spirit teaches me in quiet moments in a way that is powerful and unforgetable.

How I live my faith

I'm a member of a student ward up by the university. I attend church meetings with my peers where we learn and grow and serve together. I also regularly attend institute where I can learn more about gospel doctrine and make good friends. Most importantly, I live my faith everyday in the choices I make and the way I choose to treat people.

Being a Latter Day Saint is wonderful. This gospel sets high standards but as I give my best effort to meet the expectations required of me--the blessings I receive are staggering. Being a Mormon influences every aspect of my life. Being a Mormon gives me guidance and direction that I need to have the spirit and be happy and clean. Being a Mormon gives me countless opportunities to love and serve and grow. Being a Mormon changes my nature--and makes me better person than I am.

Being a Mormon is just like being anyone else. We eat, sleep, go to work, vote, date, marry, etc. There are, of course, things that we don't do such as drink or smoke, see explicit films or pictures, but I think that helps us become better people. By avoiding temptations we're able to live happier, fuller lives while still enjoying those things that God put us on Earth to enjoy. We were placed on this Earth to be happy and, for me, that's what being a Mormon is like-being happy.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Ryan answered...

To have feelings of attraction for members of the same sex is not a sin. Acting upon those inclinations is. We all are tempted with things that will draw us away from God's plan of happiness if we act upon them. The choice is ours whether to act upon those inclinations or not.

God's plan for us involves the family unit as the primary building block of our interactions with our fellow human beings. Anything that disrupts the healthy creation of those building blocks will frustrate our happiness in this life and in the life to come.
