STATE OF CONCERNED CHRISTIANS MINISTRY

JANUARY 2023

It is that time of the year when politicians like to deliver messages taking credit for all that happened under their leadership. Usually, the message has hopes of impressing you for an approaching re-election. That is not what this message is. Here is information about God and what He has accomplished in 2022 and where He appears to be leading us in 2023 with this ministry.

Those of us leading at Concerned Christians have had an exciting 2022. We have discovered several books whose authors were eyewitnesses and contemporary with the Mormon movement. Some were biased as they wrote, and others were objective. Regardless, both types of eyewitnesses have given us many facts about the growth of the LDS Corporation. This information has helped the development of classes that are now offered by the ministry. The ministry was able to share these classes several times with various congregations.

These classes will cover the historic development of Mormonism from 1805-1844. After Joseph Smith’s death in 1844, Brigham Young became their new leader, 1844-1877. The Mormon organization has seen 15 more president/prophets including the current leader, Russell Nelson. Development of Mormon theology is also presented. The classes are presented four or five meetings, 90 minutes each including Q and A. If this will be of assistance to your congregation, Sunday school class, or Bible study, contact us at [email protected] or 480.833.2537. We already have requests for teaching this year. The schedule is beginning to fill for 2023.

Also, if you have never read thru the Bible, we offer this on Facebook. Contact me as listed above. I will help you begin. It is not too late! You may ‘Friend’ me. I am Gary Keating standing beside a Studebaker car.

We have been receiving much credible information about rank-and-file defection of Mormon members. We all need to be prepared to introduce them to God’s Son. Their understanding of Him is quite different than the Scriptural accounts.

We are grateful to our generous supporters. You have provided funds allowing us to supply books to those with limited means. Your gifts are also allowing us to consider underwriting radio podcasts for certain selected areas of Arizona.

Please pray for this ministry. Also, please pray for those leaving the LDS Corporation.

We pray for opportunities to speak with Christians because we firmly believe “It is easier to keep them out than to get them out.”

If you would be interested in sharing your testimony of being delivered from the LDS Corporation into the family of the triune God, please send it to [email protected]. Please include contact information.

Where Does It Say That? In Abraham 4:1And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the “Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth. …”
