Born Again Mormon

I've been meaning to post this link for some time, and the discussion in WorldMovers this past Sunday about Mormon political candidates made me think of it.

Shawn McCraney was a typical LDS young man...served a mission at nineteen, came back home to California to hold several offices in his local Ward and Stake, married a Mormon girl, etc. But he was empty inside spiritually and knew it. One day he heard a sermon on the radio by Dr. Charles Stanley, pulled off the freeway, bowed his head, and surrendered to Christ.

Eventually Shawn attened Calvary Chapel Bible College, and currently is planting a Calvary Chapel at the Unviersity of Utah. But he is best known for his weekly television program, "Heart of the Matter,"which you can see here. While you are on his web site, take a look at his books. His first, I Was a Born Again Mormon, is interesting because of its account of his efforts to say within the Mormon church after becoming a believer. As you could expect, it didn't work.

Since WorldMovers emphasize prayer as our "first response," let me encourage you to pray for Shawn and his family. It will come as no surprise that they are under constant attack from the Mormon faithful.  Father, have mercy!
