Become a Witness.

Now, I would hope that all of us have finally gotten over Lebron leaving Cleveland. I mean, playing basketball is his job! He was doing the right thing, trying to get a championship. Now, the way he left, totally not cool. I agree with that. But he is the best player to ever be in the NBA since MJ. So, Ohioans, get over it. We were "witnesses" in Cleveland, and I would hope that everyone in the world, has and will continue to be, a witness for Christ. In Mosiah 18:9 it reads: "Yea, and are willing. . .to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God. . ." In this crazy world of constant cussing, pornography, and drugs, it is hard to stand up against those things. Peer pressure is a big factor in why we sometimes do not stand as a witness for Christ. We all want to fit in. Well, you just cannot do that anymore. It is the latter days! You need to stand out among your peers. Be firm in your beliefs. Let them know your standards. And do not be shaken by the temptations of the adversary. He is weak. We are strong. The Lord is always with us. We need to exercise our agency wisely. The bad choices, are usually the easier ones to make. The path that leads back to our Heavenly Father is tough. But we cannot feel ashamed for partaking of the fruit of the Tree of Life. Ignore the constant mocking and pointing of fingers. You are making the right choices. Do not fall away from the Church because if you do, I know that life will get tougher. And no one wants that. Living in the Church is tough enough, living without it, to me, is impossible. The Church brings so much joy into my life. So study your scriptures daily, pray to your Heavenly Father, keep His commandments, and enjoy life! That's the purpose of living isn't it? "Men are, that they might have joy."(2 Nephi 2:25) I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church upon the earth today, I know that Joseph Smith restored it upon this earth. And I know that the Book of Mormon is true. And I know with every fiber in my being that Christ lives and loves us all. And I say that in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

BE A WITNESS OF CHRIST

"Live so that others will want to know Christ because they know you."
