Helping Mormons See

 

Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guiltyof sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains” (John 9:41).

We all know people who claim they can see but who are, in fact,blind. Their guilt remains. You may not know this but here in the United Statesthere is a geographical area in which the entire culture (social, religious,political, and business) claims to see. It is the Mormon culture that controls Utahand the contiguous areas of Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada.Backslidden Mormons are more willing to admit that they cannot see.

We have one mission station in this area: Oasis Books inLogan, Utah, the location of Utah State University. Please pray for our staffas they work with people who do not know that they are guilty of Romans1:22-23: “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged theglory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man…” Their ideaof God is one that is physical and looks like man. They deny the efficacy ofthe cross, saying that the atonement did not take place on the cross. They denygrace by saying, “We are saved by grace after all that we can do.” Theyhave many biblical words in their vocabulary. Almost all of them have adefinition different from the ones in the Bible.

We do not wish to win arguments with these blind people who thinkthey can see. We wish to help them see.
