6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 9:6-7 NKJV
Luke 2:1-20 NKJV - 2 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made [f]widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. Luke 2:1-20 NKJV

'7 Gospel Conversations to Have with Mormons This Christmas'
Truth in Love Ministries Blog
Article Content:
Christmas is such a powerful time to witness. The Themes of the season match the truth of the gospel. The conversations are already starting. You simply get to guide them toward grace.
When Christmas Feels Heavy
Christmas is one of the easiest times of the year to talk about Jesus. People are already thinking about light, gifts, joy, peace, and the child in the manger. Conversations naturally go deeper. Hearts are more open. And for many Christians, this season brings a unique desire to share the good news with the people they care about most.
That includes our Latter-day Saint friends.
They are often surrounded by church programs and Christmas challenges that encourage them to serve more, shine more, and do more. The LDS Light the World campaign fills social media feeds with reminders to be better and give more. On the surface, it looks joyful. But for many, it creates a quiet pressure that feels familiar to us, too. Christmas becomes another season where worthiness feels out of reach. And right there, in that shared heaviness, God opens a door.
Christmas gives us a natural, gentle way to point our LDS friends to the real hope of the season. Christmas is not about producing light. It is about the Light coming to us. It is not about proving ourselves to God. It is about receiving what God has freely given in Jesus.
Christmas is such a powerful time to witness. The themes of the season match the truth of the gospel. The conversations are already starting. You simply get to guide them toward grace.
Here are seven simple gospel conversations you can have this Christmas. They are warm, honest, and centered on the One who came to give rest to the weary.
The cradle leads to the cross.
The cross leads to the empty tomb.
And the empty tomb leads to peace.
The cross leads to the empty tomb.
And the empty tomb leads to peace.
God Bless you ALL and have a Very Merry Christmas!!
A former NFL quarterback keeps defending the Christianity of Latter-day Saints
By Jacob Hess, 5 days ago
His commentary became a social media magnet for naysayers ready to recap their theological reasons for objecting to the label. But Robert Griffin III (often called RG3 for short), has heard this pushback before.
‘The battle of the Christians’
One year ago, on the day of the BYU Baylor football game in Waco, Texas, on Sep 28, 2024, Griffin posted on social media afterward, “BYU won the battle of the Christians.” In another attempt to correct him, Cameron Kemp posted the same day, “BYU is Mormon bro, not Christian.”
To that, Griffin responded, “Mormons are Christian.”
With that, the floodgates opened up, starting with Latter-day Saints expressing appreciation for the gesture:
Commentary by Admin: Mr Griffin would be wrong, Mormons and Christians do NOT have the same Jesus, therefore Mormons cannot be Christians!! See the link highlighting many differences by Mormon Elders themselves, in Apologetics.
