The Mark DeMoss Interview on Romney

Check it out.  The interview plugs in a little bit of Mohler’s thinking on the issue of Mitt’s candidacy.  Though I have not known of Mohler’s thoughts on this till today, I tend to agree with him in the sense that if Mitt becomes President of the United States, Mormonism will increase overseas.  But on the home front in America, the armies of the extreme cultural left will mount.  Of course, I am sure that Romney is no stranger to such an experience on a smaller scale as governor of Massachusetts.

The Baptist Preacher’s Take on The Mormons, Part 2

In continuation from yesterday, let me conclude with a few thoughts about Helen’s final episode of The Mormons on PBS.

For two hours, the film takes you on a jolting ride through five acts:  The Great Accommodation, The Mission, Dissenters and Exile, The Family, and The Temple.  Here are the highlights.

This particular presentation is dramatically different than the DVD, Road to Zion: Travels in Church History (copyright 2005, BYU Broadcasting), I examined last week. In hosting the show, Shaunna Thompson, attractive, vibrant, upbeat, even tearful at times in her sincere, public reflections, didn’t even touch some of the stuff that Helen Whitney now enticingly invites the national public to be aware of and explore.

In displaying a cautious curiosity, perhaps you might be interested in some of my initial heart responses. Being up front with you, I tossed, turned, and prayed on my bed till 3:00 this morning. Helen’s documentary, more than the whole dramatic Work & Glory series, has my mind churning over past historical events and current religious tensions in the Intermountain West. (more…)
