Twice a year, I lose followers because I have the audacity to invite you to come unto Christ and tune into General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to hear prophets speak on vital Gospel topics and witness to the truth of the Lord's divinity, mission, and love. I give my own personal witness of the power and importance of this event, of the truthfulness and inspired nature of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and of my Savior Jesus Christ who is King of kings and Lord of lords. Come boldly to Conference with a prayer in your heart and sincerely asking to receive your own witness via the Holy Spirit of the truth and you will receive one. I know this for a fact because I did exactly that one year many years ago. For three days I fasted and prayed intensely and, at the end of that particular General Conference, I received a powerful, palpable, and overwhelming spiritual witness of the truth that I would rather die than deny. It is true, folks, and I know that one day I will stand before the judgement bar of God and account for that testimony that His Holy Spirit gave me. I ought to obey God rather than men, after all. That same truth imparted to my soul that glorious day has been confirmed to me again and again in the years since. I know without any hesitation or shadow of doubt that Jesus lives and is the Redeemer and Master. And I know without any inkling of error as surely as any man can know any truth through the Holy Ghost that Christ's Church is indeed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that it is led by living prophets who, starting with Joseph Smith who was appointed to restore it as even the Bible testifies from Isaiah to Revelation, have been called of God and given a divine commission to serve as His mouthpiece. They are not perfect men - nor have any of the prophets throughout history been - but they have a commission from the Lord to bear testimony of Him in all nations and to officiate in saving Priesthood ordinances as the apostles of old did under the Lord's direction. This Priesthood stamp of approval from the Almighty is what sets us apart. No other Church has it, as benevolent and good as so many of them are. So, I say, come and see. Bring the light you have and let the Lord add to it. And feel free to write to me privately and ask me questions. I will not engage in circular debates or answer hostile inquiries or mocking remarks in the comments. This is too serious for such mockery; this is about the literal salvation of the eternal souls of Heavenly Father's children. God bless you and your family today and always, and may you draw closer to His Holy Son Jesus every day. ZAS
