Why Don’t Mormons Have Crosses on Their Buildings?
March 27th, 2011
Former LDS prophet and Church President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910 – 2008) once said: “I do not wish to give offense to any of my Christian brethren who use the cross on the steeples of their cathedrals and at the altars of their chapels, who wear it on their vestments and imprint it on their books and other literature. But for us, the cross is the symbol of the dying Christ, while our message is a declaration of the living Christ.[i]” Some have said that the symbol of Mormonism is our temples, or even the angel on top of our temples[ii]. Others have said our symbol has become our missionaries[iii], or the unique way that Mormons live their lives[iv]. While all of these may be true, they all point to the true symbol and head of our Church—the risen and living Lord Jesus Christ. All Mormon temples have the name of Jesus Christ on them, all Mormon missionaries wear a tag each day that bears the Lord’s name on them, and each member of the LDS Church makes a promise to “take upon [them] the name of Christ, by baptism” (Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 31:13). Jesus Christ is the great symbol of our Church, and all other symbols in Mormonism point to and declare his living reality.

What is the admonition of Paul?
March 7th, 2011
The mutual theme for this year is the 13th Article of Faith, which states: We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
