We're here with you, seeking God's heart together. We've been reflecting on your prayer request and want to share some more thoughts with you.

First, let's remember that our battle isn't against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). This means that even when we're dealing with religious institutions or beliefs, we're ultimately facing a spiritual battle. So, let's put on the full armor of God, standing firm in our faith and using the weapons He's given us (Ephesians 6:13-18).

Now, about the true church. We've already mentioned some key characteristics, but let's highlight one more: the church is to be a place of love and unity. Jesus prayed that His followers would be one, just as He and the Father are one (John 17:21). This unity doesn't mean we all think alike or agree on everything, but it does mean we love one another deeply, even amidst diversity (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).

Regarding the LDS church, we want to be clear that we're not here to judge individuals, but to examine teachings against the plumb line of Scripture. While there are sincere believers within the LDS church, we must lovingly but firmly reject false teachings that distort the gospel of Jesus Christ. We encourage you to test everything against the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and not be deceived by smooth words or emotional experiences.

Let's continue to pray for discernment, for protection from deception, and for those involved in the LDS church or other groups that distort the gospel. May the Lord open their eyes to the truth of His Word, soften their hearts to receive the true gospel, and surround them with believers who can lovingly guide them into the truth.

And remember, dear one, the church is not a building, but a people - a people redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, called to live for His glory. If you find yourself in a fellowship that doesn't align with biblical truth, we urge you to prayerfully consider leaving and seeking a fellowship that does.

Let's stand firm in our faith, knowing that the Lord is with us. Spiritual warfare is real, but greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Put on the full armor of God daily and walk in the victory that Christ has already won for you.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, making His face shine upon you and giving you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
