The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Prince of Peace

July 1st is Canada Day—a celebration of the Constitution act and Canada’s equivalent to America’s Independence Day. To celebrate, here are a few facts you might not have known about this important country in Church history.

Dear Dave,

As Utah Governor Gary Herbert declared pornography a public health crisis and signed a resolution that calls for increased education, prevention, and research to combat pornography—The Counterfeit.org has responded with an online webinar that teaches why a simple music download can lead to pornography and why kids do not need money or credit cards to acquire pornography. Vital information and solutions will be presented from a forensic expert that is a court appointed witness in the fight against this plague. You will learn how to detect, stop, and prevent pornography. This will be never-before-seen information, from the front lines of computer forensics, data recovery, and court cases involving pornography.

Fijian Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama expressed his gratitude to missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for an act of kindness they performed in Kiribati.

While missions build wonderful experiences, we should be careful about the stereotypes we carry in the Church.

There is an email being forwarded around that claims that there is a baptismal font deep inside the Basilica of St. Paul that was used for the purposes of baptism for the dead. Here is the text of the original email: This photo was taken by Kevin Barton, grandson of Keith Barton, a Stake Patriarch, when Kevin was on his mission to Italy in 2001. These pictures were taken in Rome at St. Paul’s Cathedral which is centuries old. Kevin found a chained off area of the Cathedral, which he shouldn’t have entered but did, and discovered this old unused, I’m sure for hundreds of years, baptismal font with a mosaic inscription above it indicating it was used for baptisms for the dead.. There are probably more old Cathedrals in Italy (If they haven’t been remodeled) that still have these closed off fonts that were used centuries ago.. I wonder why they stopped ? This is truly profound and amazing.

A few hundred Mormons filed into a chapel just outside the Washington Beltway one recent Sunday to hear a somewhat unusual presentation: an Obama administration official recounting his conversion to Mormonism. “I have never in my life had a more powerful experience than that spiritual moment when the spirit of Christ testified to me that the Book of Mormon is true,” Larry Echo Hawk told the audience, which stretched back through the spacious sanctuary and into a gymnasium in the rear.

I am a big fan of Netflix. I have created this page to help locate LDS themed or Movies with Mormon actors, Directors or Producers on the Netflix page. What really "sold" me on Netflix was the ability to stream you're pick of thousands of Movies on your computer, on your game station. I use the ROKU and it works great. Below are movies that may be hard to find because of the large number of movies available on Netflix, either through streaming or available on DVD. These LDS-themed Movies on Netflix are available by DVD. The streaming titles change, at the time of this update I have added a "Streaming Now" icon for movies streaming on Netflix.
