Latter-day Liberty: A Gospel Approach to Government and Politics
Welcome to the blog of Connor Boyack: author, activist, and advocate of liberty. Email me here.
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it, that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they [...]
For some time I have heard critics of the Church talking about how it is a double standard for us to be opposed to same-sex marriage, while we fought the government many years ago when polygamy was banned. An excellent article I came across today elaborates quite well on this accusation, and explains how it [...]
For the longest time, I always pictured the judgment bar as being a nerve-racking experience, where you wait in line forever to get there, you’re biting your nails the entire time, hoping against all hope that you’ll “pass”. To me, the verdict given at the judgment bar, assigning you to a varying degree of glory, [...]
My friend Dan (his wife agrees) says I blog too much. He most recently has said: man… all this blogging puts “it is not good for man to be alone” into perspective (see Genesis 2:18) The claim is that I spend too much of my free time blogging, and not enough looking for my “help [...]
I’ve been wondering for some time how effectively democracy will erradicate terrorism and Islamic jihadism. Our nation’s leaders would like us to believe that the beacon of democracy will eventually surpress these terrorist regimes. But what happens when the terrorists are in your democracy?
Have you heard of Zelph? While doing some studying today, I came across some journal entries of Wilford Woodruff that talk about an open vision Joseph had, after the discovery of some bones in Illinois, regarding a white Lamanite named Zelph. While on our travels we visited many of the mounds which were flung up [...]
I just came across this article by Matthew Roberts that discusses gay marriage from a historical point of view. Two paragraphs I liked: The definition of marriage has always implied heterosexuality. The word ‘marriage,’ from the Latin maritare, linguistically has built into it the idea of procreation. Maritare not only means to marry but also [...]
Tonight at Institute we were given Otter Pops afterwards. The simple fact that there was a treat at the end of the class made it twice as enjoyable to attend. It sounds ridiculous, because an Otter Pop costs probably a penny to make, but there’s something about getting free food that makes an event more [...]
Wow. A lot has happened today. First, Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers and killed a few others in the border contentions during the recent week. Israel, raising the stakes, elevated the confrontation by bombing the Lebanon airport, putting craters in all three runways. Then they began a maritime blockade of all Lebanese ports. Lebanon has [...]
The other day while reading in the New Testament I came across the following passage: …thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Luke 4:8) I was intrigued by the proximity of the words “serve” and “worship” to each other. So, I did a search for the two words in [...]
I just read an interesting article over at provopulse.com about The Book of Hagoth. Hagoth is mentioned in the Book of Mormon once: And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceedingly curious man, therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by [...]
There’s an interesting post over at townhall.com about the tenacious support given by The New York Times to the homosexual cause. Noteable quote: Whatever happened to “objective” media outlets at least pretending to avoid taking sides? This is the essence of political correctness: It is better to violate openly your commitment to journalistic standards than [...]
