Mark Cares is an awesome pastor, and I love this approach to the LDS.

Every LDS person I know (and even me when I was LDS) feels they are under a tremendous weight to be “perfect”. Not just from themselves, but from other LDS as well.

Many are broken and don’t know to turn to Jesus to heal them.

Also, every ex-LDS person I know (including me) that has become a Christian, have all stated that accepting Jesus’ sacrifice for their sins lifted that burden immediately.

I didn't have the particular burden of mormonism to contend with but it works for all of them.

Thing is ? there are those who look at it where God's says " be ye perfect as I am perfect " ,,,,, how can any sinner be perfect as God ????? anyone want to take a guess ? ... apart from Jesus Christ, then, no one can ever be perfect...
Perhaps ? God 's saying ? be whole as I am whole ... could that be what God is saying here ? and how can we ever be made whole ? in Christ.....

Can you imagine how much better our nation would be, if Churches would turn back to teaching responsiblity? Seriously, we have fallen a long way as a nation and a lot of it is “easy” Christianity.
