Bible Question (short): Explain this to me |
Question (full): Explain this someone. I just picked up a newspaper article, almost the full page. The headline reads, “PROMPTED BY THE SPIRIT” with a sub title of “Twelve young missionaries, many from the Midwest, go in pairs, knocking on doors throughout Carrollwood and declaring their beliefs.” Carrollwood is an upscale suburb of Tampa Florida. Then there is a 6x10 picture showing two young men on their knees praying. Under the picture is the caption. Elder Tyler Bigler, left and John Shields, right pray in their apartment before making rounds as missionaries for the Mormon church. The two have paid the church 10,000 dollars to serve two-year stints as missionaries in Carrollwood. The encourages all young men in the faith to serve.” What I would like explained is how the Mormon church is able to convince these young people to serve and even to pay 10,000 dollars to do so. When my wife could not convince any of the ladies in our church to go with her to a small apartment complex to invite the ladies that live there to upcoming ‘Ladies Fellowship.’ Yes I know Mormons make works part of the salvation experience and all. Why don't we see even a glimmer of this type of commitment in Christian church especially considering the last chapter of Matthew Jesus says, “GO”. |
