Brian Brumfield is a friend of mine with a very twisted sense of humor. We get along really well. He owns a web site titled, “SmithBusters” (DANG, I wish I would have thought of that!) and puts some really great material up on the web. Here is one of my favorites.
I just read excerpts of Joel Osteen’s interview on Larry King Live. The showed aired October 16, 2007. About three quarters of the way down the page, the conversation turns towards Romney.
KING: How do you feel about Mitt Romney and being a Mormon? Would that
affect whether you vote for him or not?J. OSTEEN: Well, you know what? I look at people, their character, their values, what they stand for. And I know only Mitt from watching him on your program and reading a couple of articles about him. And I don’t think that that would affect me. I’ve heard him say that he believes Jesus is his savior, just like I do. I’ve studied it deeply, and maybe people don’t agree with me, but I like to look at a person’s value and what they stand for.
I received news today of the passing of James E. Faust. He was the second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His funeral will be held in the tabernacle on temple square at noon on Tuesday, August the 14th. Please join me in prayer that this incident will somehow move members of the Faust family to come to Jesus alone for forgiveness of sins.
To read more about the story, go to the official newsroom of the Mormon Church.
At last the waiting is over! ABC World News finally did the story they filmed back in early June. Becky is shown and there is a short clip of me telling the world that I love Mormons. Our good friend Bill McKeever of Mormonism Research Ministry was interviewed as well. The whole story is only about two and a half minutes, but at least they didn’t make us look like crack pots.
You can see the video by going to the ABC World News web site.
Here is a great interview of Mitt Romney with Jan Mickelson! As I watched it, I could not believe how defensive Romney got when the subject turned to Mormonism. In my opinion, Mitt was way too defensive to hear exactly what he was being asked of him. Mickelson was trying to give Romney some advice on how Mitt can overcome some of his potential problems with Evangelical voters and Ronmey kept missing the point. I think this video is a classic example of why God gave us only one mouth, but TWO ears. For more background information on this interview, check out Jonathan Martin’s blog.
