The Kind Of Church I Want Mine To Be

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

The only institution which Christ founded upon this earth is His Church. He established it more than 1900 years ago. The Church began with just a handful of believers, but through the years many have felt the power of the Gospel message as it was brought to them through the churches.

Men may curse the Church today, but few, I know would want to live in a community where there is no Christian influence, no church. They ...read more

I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002

The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more
