I am becoming less and less surprised when I overhear someone in a public place discussing our faith. For example, just yesterday when I was in Barnes & Noble I overheard a woman conversing with her friend about the Mormons. And this in the middle of Missouri, with a Mormon presence of probably around 1%, give or take. It almost seems like it's becoming cool to talk about Mormons.Eric M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12742590518318188861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-55498189080377011092011-07-30T11:49:46.960-05:002011-07-30T11:49:46.960-05:00Marketing, sales, advertising, when done honestly,...Marketing, sales, advertising, when done honestly, can be legitimate tools used to spread the message of Christ to those who don't already follow Him, or are trying to learn more about Him. <br /><br />There's no rule in scripture that puts limitations on techniques used to encourage people to investigate the doctrine of Christ and prayerfully consider which of the many churches that profess His name actually have His approval or authority.Bookslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077778974473538408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-63945236606228143482011-07-24T09:48:12.941-05:002011-07-24T09:48:12.941-05:00I agree with anonymous.

True followers of Christ, whose lives have been transformed by the knowledge that they have been forgiven of their sins, are all you need to "market" the good news of Jesus Christ.<br /><br />The LDS church has created an organization that does much good and many Mormon people (including you Jeff!) are wonderful, if the motivation for this goodness is anything other than gratitude for forgiveness the glory could easily go to the church/people and not to Christ. To whom does the glory go?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483013394635750710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-8452124764185061062011-07-23T19:30:19.929-05:002011-07-23T19:30:19.929-05:00Excellent.
