Hi, I'm Bevan

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a Dad, a Husband and a Nurse Practitioner. I work occasionally as a nursing instructor. I like to cook with my wife and kids.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I have a deep conviction that Jesus died for my sins. When I serve others and do things that strengthen my family, I have a feeling of peace and well-being that comes from the Holy Ghost. I have this same feeling when I worship and serve in the church.

Personal Stories

How has attending Church services helped you?

Attending Church services helps me to focus on the Savior and to feel the influence of the Holy Ghost. It allows me to see and worship with other people who have the same convictions that I do. There is a sense of family in our church services that helps me feel loved and cared for. People with whom I attend church services are the first people I contact when my own family is in difficult circumstances.

How I live my faith

I try to apply the gospel of Jesus Christ to my work and family life. I try to treat patients based upon the understanding that they are children of Our Father in Heaven and that each person has a divine destiny. I serve in the church by teaching lessons on Sunday and visiting and helping mature men and their families. I am humbled because most of these guys have much more life experience and wisdom than I do.

What do Mormons believe about “eternal life?”

Bevan answered...

Mormons believe that Jesus made it possible for everyone to be resurrected and live forever with a perfect body. Because of His resurrection all who are born on the earth will receive this blessing. Another meaning of eternal life is being able to return to the presence of God the Father. Jesus also made it possible for all people to return to the presence of God and live with their families in a state of perfect joy. In order to be worthy of this blessing of eternal life we must have faith in Jesus Christ, repent of our sins, be baptized by one with authority from God, and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. If we live our lives in harmony with the teachings of the Saviour, repenting of our sins and trying to be like Him, we will be able to return and live with our Heavenly Father and share in his joy. Romans 8:16-17 "The Spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if it so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.

What is the Law of Chastity?

Joseph answered...

The power to create children is very sacred. Our Father in Heaven has commanded that the sacred power and privilege of sexual relations be exercised only between a man and woman who are legally married. This is the law of chastity. It means that we must not have sexual relations before we are married, and after we are married we should have sexual relations only with our husband or wife.

Keeping the law of chastity brings safety, happiness, peace, and self-respect. It also deepens married love and protects families. Breaking this law is serious. But those who have broken it can gain forgiveness and peace through repentance and obedience.

God wants the best for you and for all of His children. Following God’s plan of reserving intimacy for marriage will help you and your family be happy.
