Part 1 - How to Get Your Own Plan of Salvation

Description:
The following biograpical sketch is adapted from: "In Memoriam: Elder Bruce R. McConkie, Advocate for Truth," published in the New Era for June 1985, page 8 following Elder McConkie's death. ================================================ At six feet, five inches, Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve was an impressive figure. His physical stature in some ways matched his striving for eternal truth. A friend and fellow member of the First Council of the Seventy, Elder S. Dilworth Young, once wrote of Elder McConkie: "He is impatient with half truth and intolerant of untruth. The way to righteousness is a clearly marked road of scriptural and revealed truth. He will have nothing else" (Ensign, Jan. 1973, p. 11). On April 19, 1985, Elder Bruce R. McConkie passed away in Salt Lake City. He was 69 years old. He had battled against cancer for more than a year, undergoing surgery for colon cancer in January 1984. He subsequently returned full-time to his apostolic duties while continuing chemotherapy treatment. His last public appearance was on April 6, when he addressed the Church's general conference. Elder Bruce R. McConkie had served in the Quorum of the Twelve since 1972. He had also served in the First Council of the Seventy for 26 years prior to his calling to the Quorum of the Twelve. Elder McConkie was the first child born to Oscar W. McConkie and Margaret Vivian Redd. His father practiced law in Monticello, Utah, until Bruce was 12. The family then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where his father studied law for a year. Even though just a deacon, Bruce taught the Book of Mormon in the family Sunday School. Following his father's year of law study, Bruce and his four brothers and a sister returned from Ann Arbor to Salt Lake City with their parents. As youngsters they enjoyed working on the farm in Monticello every summer. Their home life encouraged Bruce to think seriously about the gospel. Mealtime conversations centered on gospel subjects. As the children grew older, their father held weekly family gatherings just to talk. At age 19, Bruce served a two-year mission in the Eastern States Mission. After returning home he attended school at the University of Utah, earning his B.A. degree, and later his juris doctor degree. It was while walking to and from school at the university that he developed a habit of study that was of great value to him. He would think of a subject in the gospel such as repentance and would then, in his mind, make up an outline for a sermon on the subject, adding the appropriate scriptures and supporting material. Doing this daily as he walked gave him practice in analysis of doctrinal subjects. This careful organization and logical progression was evident in his sermons.

FREEMASONRY 2
In tonight's broadcast Pastor Peters will be interviewing Larry Kunk concerning freemasonry and its anti-Christian core. You can view Mr. Kunk's website at ephesians5-11.org. Ephesians 5:11 provides a variety of tracts which are written for several target audiences. The core theme in all of our Masonic tracts is that Freemasonry is incompatible with Christianity. Freemasonry is incompatible with Christianity for two major reasons: * The god of Freemasonry is not the God of the Bible. The Masonic concept of God is directly refuted by scripture. * Freemasonry has a false plan of salvation which is based on a savior other than Jesus Christ. Jesus made it very clear. He is the only way to salvation: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6) There are other areas where Masonic teaching and practice are incompatible with Christianity, but they pale by comparison. Teaching a false gospel and worshiping a false god both result in condemnation. Gal 1:8-9 and Ephesians 5:5 establish these facts. If a man will not renounce Freemasonry when the truth about the Masonic plan of salvation is staring him in the face, he simply is not sealed by the Holy Spirit.
A Bible Question False Ministers Run From?
A false minister always runs away from this question! You've got to see this! Their opinion doesn't hold a candle to the Word of God.

They Are Not Forgotten
I love doing family history work because the compassion of Jesus Christ is extended unto both the living and the dead!! "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." - 3 Nephi 22:10. Of this truth I also bear personal witness, both to my children and to the world. This gospel of Jesus Christ - this sweetest song of redeeming love - is the source of my peace and of my joy. There is enough and to spare of this love to succor every child of God who has, does, or ever will live upon this earth. God lives and God is good!! www.familysearch.org new.familysearch.org www.familysearchindexing.org www.mormon.org www.lds.org

Jesus Is Our Refuge
God knows some of us are struggling with doubt, especially those who deny his existence. But deep inside our hearts and spirit, God has given us faith to move mountains. Let God's precious promises wash your doubts away. He will never leave you, fail you or forsake you. He is always with you. You are never alone. When you feel like giving up, cast your care and burdens upon Him. Rest in His arms and trust Him to take care of all that concerns you. He loves you and loves us all. May we Lift our eyes to the heavens for God is our hope. Call on Him and he will restore you. Hope in Him for he is near!... All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right... "In the depth of every human soul there is a hole having the form of God" (Pascal) "Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God." (Francis Bacon)
The Book of Mormon - Fallen
The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fullness of the everlasting gospel. The crowning event recorded in the Book of Mormon is the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Nephites soon after his resurrection. It puts forth the doctrines of the gospel outlines the plan of salvation, and tells men what they must do to gain peace in this life and eternal salvation in the life to come. After the author, Mormon, completed his writings, he delivered the account to his son Moroni, who added a few words of his own and hid up the plates in the hill Cumorah. On September 21, 1823, the same Moroni, then a glorified, resurrected being, appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him relative to the ancient record and its destined translation into the English language. We invite all people everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost. Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the second coming of the Messiah. "The Book of Mormon is true, just what it purports to be, and for this testimony I expect to give an account in the day of judgment." (Encyclopedia, 86-87) -Joseph Smith, Jr. "I did translate the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God, and it is before the world; and all the powers of earth and hell cannot rob me of it." (Encyclopedia, 92) - Joseph Smith, Jr. Various ways that The Book of Mormon typifies or alludes to Jesus Christ: The Book of Mormon's coming forth was declared by an angel named Moroni. Christ's coming forth was declared by an angel named Gabriel. The Book of Mormon came forth in a time of apostasy to declare truth. Jesus Christ came to an apostate Israel, in the meridian of time to restore truth. The Book of Mormon was laid away in a stone receptacle. Jesus Christ was laid away in a stone receptacle. The Book of Mormon was taken from the stone receptacle by a man named Joseph. Jesus Christ was put into a stone receptacle by a man named Joseph. The Book of Mormon came forth after the stone was moved away. Jesus Christ came forth after the stone was moved away. An angel was there to oversee the coming forth of The Book of Mormon. An angel was there to oversee the coming forth of Jesus Christ. The first one to see the plates---Joseph Smith---was forbidden to touch them. The first one to see Jesus Christ---Mary---was forbidden to touch Him. The Book of Mormon was attested to by twelve witnesses, the three, the eight and Joseph Smith. Jesus Christ had twelve special witnesses. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. Jesus Christ "in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." The Book of Mormon teaches the fullness; Jesus Christ teaches the fullness. The Book of Mormon is the keystone; Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone. And through studying the keystone we can be led to the cornerstone. The music featured in this video clip is from Sam Cardon's album "By The Hand of Mormon".
