Scoreboard - Blog about that Buddy!

For all you doubters of Mormonism check this out: http://www.mormonconverts.com/



This site recounts the amazing way that Mormonism has changed peoples lives. Marriages have been save, homes restored, and faith renewed. People are being saved, marriages are being restored, kids are getting their fathers back. That is why Joseph Smith gave us the Book of Mormon so more people could get to know God. So how dare you criticize what God is doing here. The result speak for themselves. So to all you doubters and nay-sayers I have on thing to say: SCOREBOARD.


I use the following example to illustrate the natural tendency to see the 'fruit' of a work as proof from the 'truth' of a work. At a recent service of NewSpring Church, the Pastor Perry Noble, chided those who would speak harsely about his church. He said, "I'll look right in the camera a say Scoreboard, (the auidence breaks into applause) lives are being changed." This kind of attitude exhibits the typical American preference for Pragmatism. Pragmatism is the philosophy that says 'Do whatever work.' The problem with pragmatism is that it does not work. For example of how a marriage was saved by God, you can find an example of how a marriage was destroyed because one spouse turned to God. Try telling Christians in Iraq to have their "Best Life Now." This is the same reason why Tony Robbins or Oprah can also help people change their lives. Islam, Mormonism, Buddism, Secular Humanism, and many other 'ism's' can help people change their lives. The question is not the changed life but rather has the gospel of forgiveness, repentenence, freedom from the wrath of God been proclaimed. Self-help systems are a dime a dozen. It is unfortunate that NewSpring may help people with personal issues but they fail to help people the the ultimate issue.
