Bryan Whiting - Christianity

Christianity is life. It’s a way of living. It’s an aspiration to follow the beattitudes, to be kind when others are harsh, to be calm when the storm is raging. These posts reflect my desire to reflect His light in every day living, through both study and application.

I’m a Christian, which means I believe in a Savior and Messiah who was born miraculously, lived perfectly, gave His life selflessly, and resurrected divinely so that there’s hope in this life for all of us. He was the perfect example of how to treat everyone with kindness, respect, and decency. He also taught his students how to think deeply, lead unconventionally, and live life with selfless purpose. His life is filled with a richness worth studying.

I don’t deserve this Seat

Every week I have a great spot at church. One that I don’t deserve.

Sunday April 14, 2024

Memorial Service

I thought of a funeral today while taking the sacrament. Everyone here is attending a funeral: in memory of our Savior.
