I had this same discussion with another Catholic Freeper. There is no Catholic presence in many of the rural counties of Utah. NONE, nil. There are also almost no Protestant or Evangelical presence in those same rural counties. What a great opportunity for Christian outreach!
Catholics have already heard this call.
The bible-believing Christians here in Utah are taking this very seriously. Here are some of the on-going programs:
Tapestry Against Polygamy
Mormom Mission Midwest Outreach
Women’s Home Mission Society
Global Christian Outreach
“The Truth” radio, KUTR 820 AM
Berean Christian Ministry
Utah Christian Publications
Utah Partnership for Christ
The last is the dearest to my heart.
In addition, most evangelical churches have less organized and far-reaching (but still focused and determined) local programs. The church where I worship and fellowship has classes that contrast the teachings of biblical christianity and LDS doctrine. They are on-going and quite heavily attended.
Our food bank also brings in many LDS who are not able or willing to comply with the conditions of aid from their local ward.
Yes, there is a Catholic diocese in Salt Lake. And...?
And Glenn Beck is one of them. Pray for him.
Great ministries there. Especially in taking food to them. You will convert some of the to Christianity.
You can really feel the Spirit of God present on distribution days. Some amazing things have happened there.
But the word “convert” isn’t really in our vocabulary. That’s a denominational thing. We hope to bring them to Jesus Christ, so they know Him as their personal Savior. We care not if they decide to attend our church (or its denomination) or not, and in fact often steer people to a good, solid biblical church in their own neighborhood.
It’s all about Jesus.
My radio is always tuned to “the Truth” KUTR. It is a real blessing.
I also know several pastors and Church leader from different denominations and congregations, that meet together on Thursday Ministers’ Group for prayer and continued guidance with Pastor Terry Long of Calvary Chapel.
It makes me so mad when I read Mormons tell me how the different denominations war and spar against one another. This has not been my experience at all. We are one body, comprised of different parts in Christ!
I switch between K-LOVE and KUTR :-) K-LOVE is like praying all day long to me. I can’t even bear to listen to secular music any more - it seems so pointless.
OK, I sneak in some Dr. Laura too, LOL!
That's what they are taught. When I was a Catholic I was taught that too.

Sometimes I listen to K-Love, when I’m in the mood for music, but I have really enjoyed the solid teaching on KUTR. It inspires me each and every single day to renew my love and reliance on Christ!
Once in a while I’ll still listen to Glenn Beck on my way home from work since he’s delayed here in Utah on KNRS. The biggest problem I have is when I turn my car on in the mornings for the drive in to work, that Bob Lonsberry is on. I’m really not a fan of his and so I quickly change it back to KUTR and listen to Chip Ingraham, Greg Laurie and John MacArthur. I am well fed when I get to work!
Oh,
Like the SLC brand of LDS vs. the fLDS and other Mormon denominations?
I do still listen to Glenn Beck too sometimes. I pray for him. What a phenomenal Christian influence he could be!
I used to like Don Lonsberry but I got better :-)
I just caught that about Calvary Chapel. We went to see Todd Agnew there last fall. Wow! He is so humble and overflowing with love for God. And Man is he talented. He started out with that one acapella note just hanging in the air and the place went dead still.
His concerts are like being preached the gospel, punctuated with glorious songs. You never forget where your adulation belongs, and it’s not on Todd.
Don = Bob
So provide a link to something more current.
So far all we have here is your assertions.
Not me - I didn't assert anything, mostly because I don't think such statics have any real meaning.
i would not mind blaming him for anything , i would feel a little better if i had any information about him before accusing , with all this talk of hell going around . Unless someone was actually on a mission , there was no deferment . The college defermenta along with the clergy exception or what it was called were unjust in my opinion. Unless you have a conscientious objection , which are pretty well established .I think all should be subject to conscription . OOOPs let me back up 40 years no women should be drafted . I just don't want it , I could make up a rationale , but it wouldn't be consistent with law or custom . I just don't want it . I will go twice again for each daughter , happily , but they ain't going no where .
Todd Agnew - I love his “Grace Like Rain.”
Calvary Salt Lake sponsors a lot of concerts by Christian artists that draw in Christians from every denomination and attracts interest from those who are not yet Christian. It’s awesome.
My church is having its 5th anniversary party during the first week of February. Jason Houser will be performing. I’m looking forward to it, but I truly enjoy the worship music we have every week too, it’s inspirational.
