I was a member 30 years ago and i been watching so o many things UA-cam and I realized my life is better.One day i realized i was so happy and life was 100 percent godly and the church was beautiful.every church i joined was missing the family and guidance that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and heavenly father did for me in Jesus name amen
As an older person just recently this year 2024 becoming a new member to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . . . I must agree with Elder A. Bedner's comments. Since my Baptism on June 29, 2024, I have been experiencing the gradual learning process of the simple personal growth and improvements to my life with reference to certain guidance found in the Book of Mormon. I cannot emphasize enough the special influence and guidance that the Brothers and Sisters of my Tieton Drive Ward have been for me as I learn simply and naturally as Elder A. Bedner explains so well. I am so happy to have become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I feel Blessed by the Spirit of God and Jesus.
@Rexodus014 Welcome to Christ’s fold! What a blessing it is to have you. You have family all around the world now that love you like the Tieton Drive ward! 🤍
Elder Bednar is teaching us to act and not be acted upon. We don’t need to be commanded in all things. Elder Bednar is one of my hero’s in life. He is amazing. He speaks to my soul.
Back over 29 years ago I wrote elder bed at a letter. I spoke of doing “all the right things and still feeling like I am drowning”. He actually wrote back and basicly gave me the message to start recording our lives and then when ever possible go back and see the lords hands in your life journey. I took that council to heart but with 3 tiny autistic kids I could only hit record on my phone to capture it all. I created a UA-cam channel and shared our journey as Latter-day Saints with a chronicle I’ll Mom and 4 special kids and an ADHD husband and STILL be believers. It has changed everything for me.
I have always loved the way Elder Bednar teaches the gospel, both the doctrine and principles, and also the everyday aspects of life. Thank you for your faith and life, for blessing all of us!
I was baptized in the year 1979 and I was not able to serve as full time missionary but l serve as a bishop for almost 10 years, l Love Jesus Christ God is a God of miracle, impossible things be made possible to God 🙏💗
We can't live constantly looking back at what we would do differently, but do it that way next time, is probably the biggest thing I needed to hear for all aspects of life today.
Great wisdom! We are so blessed to have the Gospel and Church of Jesus Christ restored to the earth today! Remember that God loves you & I very much, and wants to have a great relationship with you!
I'm so grateful for this message of calm, restorative and peaceful truth. It's such a blessing to have Prophet's and Apostles to lead us in these increasingly turbulent times.
Outstanding message and explanation. I have a New and correct vison coming from one Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. My behaviour in social media Will be as should né before. Rich warnings has been given by the Elder Bednar.
I always found that coming from the love I feel for the person and respecting their right to their own opinions and listening more than talking, people are much more receptive. Also, patients is the key also. Some people are receptive very quickly and others may require years and many other interactions.
I've been telling everybody Elder Bednar is going to be prophet one day. He's pretty high up in seniority and everybody more senior than him is significantly older.
Great message. There's a lot we can learn about it when dealing with other people through social media. I would recommend anyone. dealing with this problem that the best way of approaching it, it is by following the promptings of the Holy Ghost, and of course, by following all the advices elder Bednar provides here. As a general rule, anything that leads to ANY truthful principle and to Jesus Christ is the good post we can share.
Concordo plenamente com elder Bednar de que não há obrigatoriedade de saber falar toda a doutrina mas há a preocupação e necessidade de mantê-la pura,para o Espírito confirmar a verdade. Isso é o principal.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much for helping me to know that it is okay to not have perfect things to say, but just focus on how you live your life. I have several people in my family who have left the church, and the gospel means so much to me, but I have not felt to talk a lot about the gospel around them, but to focus on how I am living my own life and trying to live the best version of myself. But I have felt guilty in not proclaiming to them more, and have been hard on myself, telling myself I am ashamed of the gospel. But the truth is that I do not believe it would actually do good to proclaim the gospel to them that are angry with it. Watching this has made me feel so much better.
Reading your comment brought to mind a talk that has helped me so much in what to do with your loved ones who left the church. I’d like to recommend to your pondering, “Seeing God’s Family Through the Overview Lens,” by Tamara W. Runia. Just copy and paste this into Google and her talk will appear at the top of the results. May it bring you peace and light 🧡🧡
Gracias Elder Bednar por recibirnos y conversar con nosotros, su sabiduría e inteligencia son una prueba tacita de que ustes es un verdadero apostol del Señor.
I like the "don't make it harder than it is". "Pull, not a push" "Proclaim, not Defend" "Just share what you do in a natural way". If I were to try to boil down his advice into one principle, it would be: - I can't force someone to accept the gospel, and.... - Be transparent: don't hide the spiritual parts of your life; be *open* about what you do and the joy you feel
One member"s podcast is designed for members but does have none members too. Recently he challenged his followers to follow Elder Rasband's renarks to flood the earth with the Book of Mormons. He challenged us to send 10 each. His goal was a totoal of 10 tbousand. He kept track of how many and people meeting with the missionaries, baptisms and temple. He reached the 10,000 goal Sept 2024. He has helped members set up their own podcasts for things they are good at ie family history, musi c, etc.
3rd nephi 5:13 slightly edited, Behold, we are disciples of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We have been called of him to declare his word among his people that they might have everlasting life.
I think that the Holy Spirit can put into our minds and hearts in a general sort of way, about maybe in what we can share about anything. I think he does that just to illustrate a principle. I have had that happen…I think just now, that truth in the scriptures came to my mind. Again, like he indicates, example is the best teacher. We all need to strive to be better. I almost ALWAYS like to share truths I have learned from leaders, like apply one to something. That happens to me a lot, too, when I read the Book of Mormon. I begin to see how the principles apply in real life situations, not only to those in the scriptures, but to us. I have been in classes where the teachers are very good at getting you to see things, and open the way for more inspiration. But short and sweet as possible is the best.
My stake president helped me to nip something in the bud. I have tried to be kind for a long time, but lately,I have been a bit too forthright….but instead of being outspoken, I can still be honest, but kind. I have tried to make things that way most of the time…like almost all of the time, but I got too overbearing last night about a critical issue, and possibly a few times lately. In this world of polar opposites, that’s kind of tricky to do, but I think it can be done. I can be honest, and still tell in a kind way…or like he says, just tell more about what we do in our lives, and I think how we cope in a general sort of way. And let people know that we are no better than they are, that we all have to work at it.
Thank you Apostle .. but sometime we are too scared to offend our friends on Facebook when we shared the gospel on Facebook pages, especially in Indonesia.
God has proven that he doesn’t need an institution, or people telling us how to do things. Jesus Christ has an individual relationship with each of his sons! And salvation and the relationship with Christ is personal , he wants us to have a relationship with him every day not once a week or at a certain building or religion
@@melissabodily3675completely incorrect, people who had gone through NDE’s and met Jesus had asked this very same Question about which church to go to or join? And Jesus replied… I don’t care about a religion that’s not important to me, I want you to have a relationship with me every day not once a day but 365 days a year, and Be kind to the poor. End of quote by Jesus. Read the book my encounter with Jesus in the gates of heaven. Is all there ! Written by an Indian man. none Christian believer at the time of his passing. who met Jesus at the time of his passing. He was dead for 3 days. His name is Santosh Acharjee, yet he described Jesus the same way as the apostles of the old times! And after he came back to life he was a full believer of Jesus Christ and even Jesus told him to bare testimony of his experience in heaven and commanded him to write 3 books. With all due respect but the Mormon apostles they have never seen Jesus face to face.
I think that’s just a difference in understanding. You say God has given proof for no need of religion. The LDS faith has scripture with God saying differently. It makes complete sense you would think differently.
Psalm 111:1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembly of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. ---------- From the Word of God, church is important for strengthening His children, and taking the sacrament (remembering His flesh and blood shed for our sins) 🙏🏼💜
@@cinnimini404 read or watch the NDE of Archajee santosh pay vey close attention to what Jesus respond to him when he asked which church to go to? You’ll understand that you have been lied to all your life
Many read where Christ walked on water and stepped into the ship wherein His disciples labored in a storm on sea of Galilee. Yet miss an thing also Christ performed. Remember when the Arch of the Covenant was born in travel. That when they came to a stream or river. That as the foremost was about to STEP into the water. The water was, transported to another place, so that the ground was dry. Even so as Christ STEPPED into the ship, the ship also wad transported to another place, for the ship was moved at once to where they would dock.
Do members of this church believe in Christ? Do they read the bible. I know little about this church but the statement by the elder touched the depth of my heart. What is the stand of the church on LGBT. Do they promote or sanction gay union
We believe in Christ, he is the head of our church. We read the Bible along with the Book of Mormon we believe that they are both scripture for the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not support the LGBTQ+ community, we do preach kindness towards everyone, and teach that we should love all regardless of their beliefs.
Thanks for your comment @fidelisattah5761 and for your questions. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christian, and we believe the greatest happiness in life comes from following the Savior, Jesus Christ. We revere the Bible as the word of God and we believe the Book of Mormon to be another testament of Jesus Christ. You and others interested can learn more about our beliefs here: www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs?cid=42001274 The Church teaches that God loves all of us, and that people who experience same-sex attraction or identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual are welcome and needed in the Church, and should be treated with love and respect. We also believe that sexual relations between a man and woman who are not married or between people of the same sex violate the law of chastity, one of our Father in Heaven’s most important laws. People of any sexual orientation who violate the law of chastity can be reconciled with God through repentance. You or others interested can learn more about our teachings on the subject here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/gay/individuals?lang=eng
@@churchofjesuschrist Thank you for this wonderful and eye-opening insights . I had oftentimes in the past seen Latter day saints as a belief outside christ. Your teaching about gay union also agrees with my faith. I really appreciate this feedback. Moreso, your hymns lift me to heaven .
Do me a favor to those watching the guy talking with the green tie, make your screen bigger and tell me what you see in his eyes and neck area. Freeze the picture and look.
What do you mean? The man with the green tie is elder Bednar, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is filled with light and love. I would hope that all people can personally meet an Apostle to look him in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul.
Keep it simple... share a CONSECRATED copy of the BOOK of MORMON with your WRITTEN TESTIMONY on it... HIGHLIGHT many passages to help the individuals find the spirit of PROPHECY AND REVELATION Within the precepts taught in the Book of Mormon ... Do not be a respecter of people give them powerful testimony not diluted gospel.. The Book of Mormon teaches 3,925 *times or more of Jesus Christ there's nothing more powerful that you can give anyone for their CONVERSION to a SERIOUS CONSECRATION and CELESTIALISATION 😊😊 I so testify of THESE TRUTH in the name of JESUS CHRIST amen..
"What we do is more important than what we may write or say"...thank you for clarifying this. Unfortunately, that is not in the church's favor- there are many examples of this dissonance between what the church says and actually does.
It's great to hear from the leadership of the church. I wish that what he was saying was true. Ask the people who live in the towns that have been threatened by the church with lawsuits because the town won't let them build a temple? Ask them how Christ like the church's lawyers are when threatening to sue the town into bankruptcy because the church won't abide by the zoning laws? Be a good neighbor is what we are supposed to be. Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act is the weapon of the church.
LDS friends, you do NOT teach the true Christ of the New Testament and the authentic tradition of the of the Christian faith passed on by the Bishops in the Catholic, Orthodox, and the Ancient Churches of the East - all who have true Apostolic Succession from the very beginning.
Just curious but, is it true that joseph smith said that black people and skin is the mark of cain and that we refused to fight with God during some battle and that's why our skin is dark
Hi @Lazyofficial866, thanks for your question. Latter-day Saint scripture and teachings affirm that God loves all of His children and makes salvation available to all. The Book of Mormon teaches that all are alike unto God: "(The Lord) inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile." (2 Nephi 26:33). Church leaders today unequivocally condemn all racism, past and present, in any form. The Church disavows the theories advanced in the past that black skin is a sign of divine disfavor or curse, or that it reflects unrighteous actions in a premortal life; that mixed-race marriages are a sin; or that blacks or people of any other race or ethnicity are inferior in any way to anyone else. You or others interested can learn more here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics-essays/race-and-the-priesthood?lang=eng&_r=1
i could be wrong but it was originally Brigham Young that said that. Doesn't matter, it's a horrible teaching either way. Glad to be free of the church.
@@brb5506 Ironic, considering Mormonism teaches every member that the are part of a chosen few. Also, I never said I was an atheist. I am, so you got me. I do not worship myself -- although I do feel better about myself since leaving the church.
@@ppleberrynd Worship is inherent in being human. Worship is that which we trust the most. If a person trusts their own wisdom the most, they worship their own wisdom. If you feel better after having left the Church, there could be several reasons: 1) You were not really in it, i.e. you were not spiritually engaged so you didn't know what you were in; 2) You did something that put you deeply at odds with the Church and leaving separated you from consciousness of guilt; and/or 3) Someday did something that was deeply at odds with the Church to you. Or any combo of the above. As for being "chosen", members are chosen because they exercise faith to be among the chosen. In other words, anyone can be among the chosen if they choose to be by exercising faith in Christ. Like all exercise, it requires work. It's your choice.
Just please don't flood in the way of those spam commenters who post random scriptures in no way related to the clip, like posting on a Deadpool trailer. You're gonna get blocked, and you accomplished nothing.

"God sends his infinite love wrapped in human envelopes." Elder Bednar embodies that.

Amen. 🕊️
Proclaim truth rather than fight the lies. The Savior was never in fight mode; always in teaching and inviting mode. 🤍
Well... there was that moment with the money changers in the temple...
He used both at the right times.
Amen! Small, natural sharing makes a huge impact. We are so grateful for this invitation to share the gospel.
What great counsel. I love when the key is keeping it simple. I can do simple.

Remember when the Arch of the Covenant was born in travel. That when they came to a stream or river. That as the foremost was about to STEP into the water. The water was, transported to another place, so that the ground was dry.
Even so as Christ STEPPED into the ship, the ship also wad transported to another place, for the ship was moved at once to where they would dock.
Can someone please link the President Eyring talk about seeing God's hand in your life?
Hi I have found a couple from Pres Eyring; Remembrance and Gratitude October 1989 and a more ‘ recent ‘ one O Remember, Remember, October 2007.
@@helenajanickyj7819 Thank you so much!
Do members of this church believe in Christ? Do they read the bible.
I know little about this church but the statement by the elder touched the depth of my heart.
What is the stand of the church on LGBT. Do they promote or sanction gay union
We believe in Christ, he is the head of our church. We read the Bible along with the Book of Mormon we believe that they are both scripture for the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not support the LGBTQ+ community, we do preach kindness towards everyone, and teach that we should love all regardless of their beliefs.
Thanks for your comment @fidelisattah5761 and for your questions. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christian, and we believe the greatest happiness in life comes from following the Savior, Jesus Christ. We revere the Bible as the word of God and we believe the Book of Mormon to be another testament of Jesus Christ. You and others interested can learn more about our beliefs here: www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs?cid=42001274
The Church teaches that God loves all of us, and that people who experience same-sex attraction or identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual are welcome and needed in the Church, and should be treated with love and respect. We also believe that sexual relations between a man and woman who are not married or between people of the same sex violate the law of chastity, one of our Father in Heaven’s most important laws. People of any sexual orientation who violate the law of chastity can be reconciled with God through repentance.

100% the LGBTQ+ community is needed in the church. These are valid voices, and without them, the church would be poorer for it. In a silo.
@@churchofjesuschrist Thank you for this wonderful and eye-opening insights .
I had oftentimes in the past seen Latter day saints as a belief outside christ.
Your teaching about gay union also agrees with my faith.
I really appreciate this feedback.
Moreso, your hymns lift me to heaven .

Do me a favor to those watching the guy talking with the green tie, make your screen bigger and tell me what you see in his eyes and neck area. Freeze the picture and look.
What do you mean? The man with the green tie is elder Bednar, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is filled with light and love. I would hope that all people can personally meet an Apostle to look him in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul.
What’s the deal with Elder Bednar’s tie…?
Keep it simple...
share a CONSECRATED copy of the BOOK of MORMON with your WRITTEN TESTIMONY on it...
HIGHLIGHT many passages to help the individuals find the spirit of PROPHECY AND REVELATION Within the precepts taught in the Book of Mormon ...
Do not be a respecter of people give them powerful testimony not diluted gospel..
The Book of Mormon teaches 3,925 *times or more of Jesus Christ there's nothing more powerful that you can give anyone for their
CONVERSION to a
SERIOUS CONSECRATION
and CELESTIALISATION 😊😊
I so testify of THESE TRUTH in the name of JESUS CHRIST
amen..
"What we do is more important than what we may write or say"...thank you for clarifying this. Unfortunately, that is not in the church's favor- there are many examples of this dissonance between what the church says and actually does.
It's great to hear from the leadership of the church. I wish that what he was saying was true. Ask the people who live in the towns that have been threatened by the church with lawsuits because the town won't let them build a temple? Ask them how Christ like the church's lawyers are when threatening to sue the town into bankruptcy because the church won't abide by the zoning laws? Be a good neighbor is what we are supposed to be. Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act is the weapon of the church.
Just not Daniel Troen’s message heard once he was baptized 15 years ago never maintained one friend
I need some polishing😉
LDS friends, you do NOT teach the true Christ of the New Testament and the authentic tradition of the of the Christian faith passed on by the Bishops in the Catholic, Orthodox, and the Ancient Churches of the East - all who have true Apostolic Succession from the very beginning.
Just curious but, is it true that joseph smith said that black people and skin is the mark of cain and that we refused to fight with God during some battle and that's why our skin is dark
Hi @Lazyofficial866, thanks for your question. Latter-day Saint scripture and teachings affirm that God loves all of His children and makes salvation available to all. The Book of Mormon teaches that all are alike unto God: "(The Lord) inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile." (2 Nephi 26:33). Church leaders today unequivocally condemn all racism, past and present, in any form. The Church disavows the theories advanced in the past that black skin is a sign of divine disfavor or curse, or that it reflects unrighteous actions in a premortal life; that mixed-race marriages are a sin; or that blacks or people of any other race or ethnicity are inferior in any way to anyone else.

i could be wrong but it was originally Brigham Young that said that. Doesn't matter, it's a horrible teaching either way.
Glad to be free of the church.
@@ppleberryndYou are free to worship any god you want. Those who say they worship no god end up worshipping themselves.
@@brb5506 Ironic, considering Mormonism teaches every member that the are part of a chosen few.
Also, I never said I was an atheist. I am, so you got me.
I do not worship myself -- although I do feel better about myself since leaving the church.
@@ppleberrynd Worship is inherent in being human. Worship is that which we trust the most. If a person trusts their own wisdom the most, they worship their own wisdom. If you feel better after having left the Church, there could be several reasons: 1) You were not really in it, i.e. you were not spiritually engaged so you didn't know what you were in; 2) You did something that put you deeply at odds with the Church and leaving separated you from consciousness of guilt; and/or 3) Someday did something that was deeply at odds with the Church to you. Or any combo of the above. As for being "chosen", members are chosen because they exercise faith to be among the chosen. In other words, anyone can be among the chosen if they choose to be by exercising faith in Christ. Like all exercise, it requires work. It's your choice.
Just please don't flood in the way of those spam commenters who post random scriptures in no way related to the clip, like posting on a Deadpool trailer. You're gonna get blocked, and you accomplished nothing.
