Mormon Research Ministry - Reaching Mormons for Jesus

As we have a Mormon running for president, it's very important that we understand what the Mormon "Church of Latter Day Saints" teaches.  We need to use every opportunity to share the Gospel and defend the truth, as people are looking into Mormonism because of Mitt Romney.  Mormonism Research Ministry (MRM) is an Evangelical Christian ministry reaching Mormons for Jesus.  Please read, pray, and share Jesus with someone today!  For biblical articles, responses, and facts on Mormonism:

Open the Eyes of the Muslims

John Yany of Moody Bible Institute was led by the Holy Spirit to write this song called "Ishmael," which prays for the opening of Muslim eyes to the reality of Jesus Christ:

The Unstoppable Overflow of Jesus

"The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ." Acts 5:41-42

The power and fruitfulness of the early Church came from simple people who had experienced the personal rescue of Jesus.  They learned to abide in His power, His promises, His truth and to let Him use them.  They boldly took advantage of everyday opportunities to testify to the life Jesus Christ provides, and they rejoiced when that witness demanded the sacrifice of suffering.  But their focus was on Christ, on following the promptings of the Holy Spirit, letting Him overflow from their lives.

"We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him." Acts 5:32

So today, as with everyday, rejoice in the witness of the Holy Spirit within you.  And with the Spirit’s power, embrace the unstoppable mission of Jesus. 

Because Jesus wins,

Overcoming Fear

We experience fear so often that many learn to live with it and tolerate it, as if fear is immovable. Fear is no excuse for disobeying our Lord’s clear commission to make disciples. If we have faith in Jesus the size of a mustard seed, we can overcome the mountain of fear (Matthew 17:20). 


“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Romans 14:23 explains, “…everything that does not come from faith is sin.” When we’re plagued by fear, we must confess our sin to the Lord Jesus and receive His unconditional love anew. His perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). When we ask, Jesus will increase our faith and help our unbelief (Mark 9:24). 


All the power we need is available to us as we rely on the Holy Spirit and surrender to Him. He empowers us to be witnesses for Jesus (Acts 1:8).  We can remind ourselves of God’s promises to be with us, to empower us, and to draw near to us. When we confess fear and surrender our feelings to the Lord Jesus, we can step out in faith and bold love to witness.
