To change, to convert? Why bother?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
To be converted you have to destroy your past, destroy your history. You have to stamp on it, you have to say 'my ancestral culture does not exist, it doesn't matter.'
Conversion brings a drive to learn.
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Conversion is an offering of self, of love, and of loyalty we give to God in gratitude for the gift of testimony.
Conversion is an enlarging, a deepening, and a broadening of the undergirding base of testimony. It is the result of revelation from God, accompanied by individual repentance, obedience, and diligence.
Conversion is a very, very important part of what you are doing. We will have a responsibility to report to Heavenly Father regarding those we bring into the Church.
In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.
I wish there were more true conversion, and then there would not be so much backsliding, and, for fear of suffering, living at ease, when there are so few to contend for Christ and His cause.
Conversion is a daily thing.
