In the next few days, I hope to share with you several videos about Mormons and the Mormon Church (formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) posted online. The videos that will be featured on this blog are produced by members of the Church. Most members note that they do not speak for the Church. However, they are faithful members of the Church who desire to share the message of the Gospel of Christ as they understand it with the world. For official information about the Church, please visit www.lds.org or www.mormon.org.

Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles urged all Mormons to “join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration.” Such a call to action is especially crucial today. For far too long, others who are not of our faith have been doing the talking about Mormons. Often times, such individuals and groups have distorted Mormon beliefs and teachings for their own purposes and agendas.
Once again, I plead with those of you who are sincerely seeking for information about the Mormon Church. Please allow those of us who are faithful members to share the teachings of the Church with you. Come, study our beliefs. Read the Book of Mormon. Listen to the words of our Church leaders.
My friends, I am so blessed to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I hope that you too will come to know His teachings and feel His love in your lives. I leave you tonight with this challenge from the ancient Prophet Moroni;
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. (Moroni 10:4)
