Personal Stories

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

The Book of Mormon saved me from "destruction". In Mormon 6:17-22 Mormon is crying over the people of Nephi that did not repent. I was one that followed the gosple and then fell away. The Book of Mormon saved me and brought me back to the church.

How I live my faith

The way I should. Respect, Honer, Love, and a good sence of what to do. Day by day and hour by hour. This is not just a "go to church" church. It's a life. "Never give up, never give in".

The money received from members in the form of tithing goes directly to the headquarters of the church where a council decides what will be done with the money. Here are some ways in which the tithing funds are used:
1. Build, maintain, and operate temples, meetinghouses, and other buildings.
2. Provide operating funds for stakes, wards, and other units of the Church. (These units use the funds to carry out the ecclesiastical programs of the Church, which include teaching the gospel and conducting social activities.)
3. Help the missionary program.
4. Educate young people in Church schools, seminaries, and institutes.
5. Print and distribute lesson materials.
6. Help in family history and temple work.

*It is important to note that tithing funds are not used to pay leaders of the church. All leaders of the church are volunteers and receive no form of pay.

How can faith in Jesus Christ influence us in our marriages and family relationships? in our friendships?

Brennan answered...

Jesus of Nazareth was, and still is, the great healer. It is our faith in Him which enables Him to perform miracles in our lives. Often that miracle is a change of heart which allows us to forgive, see others in a new light, or feel an increased measure of love. Having faith in Jesus as our divine redeemer enables Him to bless our marriage and family relationships with an increased measure of unity and love.
