Light in the dark: about weeds, wheat and the love of Christ
22December
Let's use this Christmas not to be too hard on ourselves or on others. Among wheat, weeds sometimes grow that we can only prune away thanks to Christ and practicing celestial thinking.

Miracles, doubt and faith: lessons from Messiah
14December
What if the Messiah were to appear today, not with grand heavenly signs, but in all simplicity? The Messiah series prompts reflection on faith, miracles, and how we as humans react to the unknown. In a world where faith is increasingly questioned, this series raises questions that challenge us to re-examine our own beliefs. How would you react?

Light in the Darkness: The Deeper Meaning of Christmas
16December
It is often seen as a cliché, but during the Christmas period it is essential to pause and reflect on the deeper meaning of this celebration. We are inundated with images of family gatherings and exchanging gifts, and while these traditions have their own value, they represent only part of the Christmas story. The true spirit of Christmas goes beyond...

Mormon Advent Calendar #LightTheWorld
02December
I already wrote about our Christmas campaign 2016 #LightTheWorld. Now I have found a nice addition to it. As a kind of advent calendar, counting down to Christmas, we have a daily small task for all Mormons worldwide. Each of these things is a small form of service with the aim of illuminating the world a bit, to be the light of the world ourselves...

Light the world
25November
Christmas is the moment when we commemorate the birth of Jesus, even though we realize that Christ was not born in December and that it is actually based on a pagan festival. Mormons even know by revelation that the Savior was actually born on April 6. Let that not stop us, however, from making it a true festival of Light.

May it still be Christmas?
31December
Today I was confronted with that question twice. The first was in response to a column by Cathérine Ongenae, in which she states that she prefers fairy tales with monsters or even TV series like Game of Thrones because they contain more sex than good stories instead of the lie about Jesus. Her argument is that the story of Jesus has no substantive added value...

Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to people of good will
25December
Today is Christmas. A day on which we reflect on the Great Gift of our Heavenly Father: He gave us His Only Son, to suffer and die for our sins; to reconcile us with Him. For Mormons, Christmas is a fantastic time. Traditionally, everyone reflects on family and the happiness close to us. For Mormons, Christmas is therefore the ultimate celebration where...

De betekenis van Kerstmis
18December
Als Mormoon en als christen breekt nu een speciale tijd van het jaar aan. Volgende week gedenken miljarden mensen op onze aarde de geboorte van onze Heiland. Zelfs wie niet gelooft, voelt iets speciaal met Kerstmis. Kerstmis is spijtig genoeg voor velen een commercieel iets geworden. Krijgen wordt belangrijker dan geven. Ik heb twee filmpjes gevonden die hier even bij stilstaan en zo veel...
