Hi, I'm Jon

I'm a husband, dad of three, insurance broker, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

My life consists of three roles; family, career, and service to God. Family relationships develops the happiness I want. Professional life supports us. Serving God in the community makes the world a better place.

Why I am a Mormon

I believe the Mormon church is true and all its teachings. The more I study its doctrine the more passionate I become about it. God lives, He loves us, and we can return to Him if we choose to act on His counsels.

How I live my faith

Every morning and night I pray individually and with my family to God. I study scripture daily and attend church weekly. These consistent habits keep me close to God's spirit and His peace.

What is the Church’s position on abortion?

LauraMaery answered...

Parenting is a gift from, and a partnership with, God. There are rare circumstances where, with the approprobation of God, there might be a reason to terminate a pregnancy. But that's a decision to made only after much prayer and both medical and ecclesiastical counseling. The larger principle here is that joy comes of making God a full partner in marriage, and of bringing children into the world within the bounds of marriage.
Chaz answered...

Abortion is a serious matter which is opposed by the Church. The only cases in which abortion is acceptable is when, in the opinion of competent medical council, the life of the mother in is serious danger, or when the pregnancy was caused by rape and causes serious emotional trauma. Even when those cases are present, it is only done after counseling with the local priesthood authority, and recieveing divine confirmation through the Holy Ghost.

In any other case abortion is termination of life. In other words, Murder. Which is contrary to the commandments of God and against the will of God.

What do Mormons believe about Jesus Christ? Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

Nathan answered...

I go to college in what many people consider the "bible belt" of America. Many people assume I'm not a christian or that I don't believe in Jesus Christ as the literal Son of God. Most people don't realize just how christian our faith is and they're usually surprised at how similar many of our beliefs are. The truth is Jesus Christ is the Son of God and there is no other name by which people can be saved. Jesus Christ is my savior and the Savior of the world. His goodness is available to all and brings happiness to anyone who reaches out to Him.
