We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Does Christ Live? Is he here among us?

Some say, Yes, Christ established his own Church, but he is no longer here. Maybe I should not even approach this subject because in the end it comes down to the fact that for those who believe he is not here, he isn't. For them it is as if he were never born, never sacrificed for them, never paid the price, never died for them. And they will have to go through their own atonement.We are each and every one of us responsible for out own actions.And we have that right to believe what ever we want and live our life accordingly. However, there are blessings and consequences to all things, such a.going through our own atonement, or accepting Christ's atonement.

 It is not all a matter of what I believe is true for me and what you believe is true for you? There are laws upon which all things rest. Just because I don't believe in gravity does not mean it doesn't exist. Why do some trees drop their leaves and others don't. It is based on some law or formula or something that governs that particular situation. Just because I don't know that law is does not mean that it doesn't happen or that it doesn't exist.
I see the results. I know that the maple tree in my front yard is going to turn red and drop it's leaves. By the same token I have seen miracles, I have felt the Spirit, I have read the scriptures, I have witnessed many things that testify of Christ. I know that he lives, I know that he died on the cross and rose again on the third day. Not because the scriptures say so, not because someone else said so but because of my own experiences. I know that Christ lives and that he has appeared to many even in these modern days. Of this I bear witness.
