A banger of a display, gotta say.

Looks like it was a way for the Church of Jesus Christ (I believe they may work with other churches on the giving machines) to announce the Giving Machines.
Regardless of how one feels about this church, they often bear good fruits & the majority of that fruit comes from unpaid service.
As a child raised in a godless home, it was the Mormons' tv commercials on Saturday morning cartoons that taught me about the love of Jesus and made me want to read the Bible that prepared me to receive salvation. I don't believe in anything the Mormons teach that is not in the Bible, but God is using their resources to draw people to Himself.
Jesus said if you are not against me then you are for me. Basically, anything positive about Him, He will use to get His gospel to the people.
I like putting it this way - "God can use a crooked stick to strike a straight blow"
Any tool our Father in Heaven can use to bring us closer to him is a win as far as I am concerned. I am so grateful that you were able to find a path towards him & our Savior.
Merry Christmas my friend & I hope your year is filled with joy & accomplishment of your goals.
They are particularly keen on making the Birth of Jesus known at Christmastime; they used to host an amazing display of nativity scenes from all over the world at their local church near where we live every December and it was really magical to go and visit. I brought my son when he was little. One more beautiful memory stored away.
Those sound like awesome memories.
Moved by the Spirit, they are.... ❤️
Their extra book is as wrong as every other extra book, but their hearts are in the right place and they do good service.
It may be even more unpopular, but so do the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I never understood that mindset in the Catholic religion, and offshoots , Baptist, Protestant, etc. They knock each other like enemies. It's ridiculous. Everyone believes that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Nobody asked them to all start holding joint services but no need to bash each other. The important part is agreed upon by all. Uniting in Christ would spread so much more love and light in the world. Off the soapbox, sorry for the rant.
That’s pretty much the reason I’ve been going after denominationalism.
It’s one thing to have a different outlook on things, and there can even be error in how the scriptures are interpreted (within reason), but ONE BODY, people!
Philippians 2:12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Mormons are arguably a completely different religion, and I’m still inclined to shrug and mumble, “close enough.” They’re definitely doing at least some of it right.
Nobody is going to hit the path perfectly, but there’s an awful lot of room for unity. Just try to not step on toes and find peace where possible, so long as disagreements don’t slide into worldly evil - like trying to normalize sodomy and pedophilia as an effort to “love” those sinners. Sorry, NO. (that means you, “Methodists”)
Double soapbox closed.
You can’t be united if you don’t agree on who God is, and the groups you name have mutually incompatible teachings. Time for a church history dig, you may be surprised at what you find and which of the same enemies we’re fighting together here pop up over the last 2000 years of history. —Orthodox Christian anon
This is the way.
Gotta call out the clowns entertaining the goats, and the wolves in sheep’s clothing waiting to devour.
Fair enough. After reading it myself, I found it testifies of Jesus Christ & speaks about "Secret Combinations" as an evil that over runs governments as a pact with the Devil IIRC.
Oddly I haven't found that anywhere else as a warning, and the other time I saw that phrase was the FBI lovers (Page & Strozk) where Lisa asks Peter if they were forming their own little secret combination.
I also have heard from native American tribes that they are descendants of tribes claimed in his book, though this should not be confused with all Native tribes.
Ultimately I encourage every single person to simply follow Jesus Christ to the best of the ability & to allow God to sort it out in the end.
Merry Christmas friend & I hope this next year treats you & your family well.
