'BibleStick' device provides spiritual support to military

A Christian software developer that creates "BibleStick" pocket-sized digital audio devices that can play the entire New Testament is reporting that requests for its product have spiked higher than ever before as the July 4 holiday approaches. Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) said in a statement that since 2008, more than 218,000 units have been freely distributed to more than 1,000 chaplains who have used them during pre-deployment briefings, counseling sessions, chapel services, Bible studies and upon direct request of service members. The organization was established in 1972, and is celebrating its 40th year of ministry.

10 Memorable Quotes from C.S. Lewis on the 50th Anniversary of His Death

On Nov. 22, much of the world will remember and celebrate President John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination. Little noticed in 1963 was the death that same day of another extraordinary man, C.S. Lewis. His writings on Christianity and his Chronicles of Narnia novels have had a profound effect on Christians, especially in the United States. Because of this, it is worth remembering his life, his faith and the remarkably enduring gift of his writings.

CNN: LDS scholar dishes on 'Mormon' musical

Prof. Bushman, the character of Elder Price, an American Mormon missionary in modern-day Uganda, questions his faith, but regains it while performing the song, “I Believe.” He sings, “I believe that God has a plan for all of us. / I believe that plan involves me getting my own planet.” Is that lyric based in Mormon belief?

Is it open season on Mormonism?

The BuzzFeed piece is misleadingly titled,”Why Ann stayed home.” In fact the reporter, McKay Coppins (who has identified himself as a Mormon), reveals nothing about her motivations. That, rather, appears to be the “hook” for a discourse asserting the Mormon faith is discriminatory and oppressive toward women. Ann wasn’t interviewed. The Romney campaign didn’t comment for his report. And the reporter doesn’t indicate he tried to reach either. The piece foreshadows, I fear, of what is to come — effort to portray Mormons as weirdly out of step and unmodern, and by implication, Romney as being unfit for the presidency.

Latter-day Saint Life

Why the Phrase 'I am a Child of God' is So Important to My Testimony

One major difference my friends and I found between our faiths lay in our beliefs about our identities: While they held that we are simply God’s creations, I felt a match strike in my chest with the knowledge that I am more than that. And while it’s an idea any five-year-old could tell you without hesitation or confusion, in my moment on the porch of a small homestay on Gili Trawangan, as I heard myself say it, I learned it again: I am a daughter of God.

Mormonism in the News: Getting It Right | 8 May 2013

Intermountain Catholic: Mormons Honor Benedictine Sisters' Legacy Reaching out to those of other faiths and recognizing their important contributions to society is an important part of Mormonism. This happened in late April when, as Intermountain Catholic reports, Latter-day Saint leaders held a farewell luncheon for the Sisters of Saint Benedict in Ogden. Last year, the sisters decided to merge with their founding monastery in Minnesota. They had been in Ogden, Utah, since 1946.

Moral Stength of Women Praised in Conference

SALT LAKE CITY — The afternoon session of the 183rd Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints featured remarks from four members of the Quorum of the Twelve on topics ranging from the power of the scriptures, to the need for member involvement in missionary work, to the need for compassion for those who suffer from depression, to the moral force of women. The second of the four apostles to speak during the session, Elder D. Todd Christofferson, told the women of the church that "we rely on the moral force you bring to the world, to marriage, to family, to the church. We rely on blessings you bring down from heaven by your prayers and faith."

LDS general conference sure to have impact

If members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints learned anything during last October's general conference, it is the way conference can change their lives. Granted, there is rarely the kind of far-reaching social and cultural impact Latter-day Saints have experienced during the six months that have elapsed since church President Thomas S. Monson sent shock waves through Mormonism with his Saturday morning announcement lowering the minimum age for full-time missionary service for both young men and young women. Still, as LDS faithful gather this weekend at the church's downtown Conference Center and in front of television sets, radios and computer screens all around the world, they do so fully anticipating to be impacted again individually and collectively by the 183rd Annual General Conference of the church.
