According to Brent

"Does God really want to speak to you? Yes!" -Russell M. Nelson, living prophet and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints  "Pillar of Light" by Brent Borup  God speaks to mankind today, He still has prophets that he speaks to, He still calls representatives to witness and testify of Christ, and ... He also wants to talk to YOU. We can all receive personal revelation.  I think that there is a lot of confusion and ignorance about our ability to receive counsel directly from our Father in Heaven.

His sons influenced my life in a very positive way... they are a few of my many heroes. His son Matt was a few years older than me. I remember once at school, a fight broke out. A circle quickly formed around the two boys, with the crowd egging them on, chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight". It was like something right out out the movies. Then, something interesting happened. Matt walked into the middle of the circle with a big smile on his face. He walked up to the boys ...

I am pleased to present my newest original oil painting available for sale. "Rabboni" by Brent Borup "The Aramaic word  Rabboni,  used by Mary to address the resurrected Savior, is used only twice in the New Testament. In  John 20:16 , the King James translators retained the Aramaic word and John’s translation for his readers, which is “Master.” In  Mark 10:51 , the word is translated as “Lord.” The title  Rabbi  was used for respected teachers among first-century Jews.  Rabboni,  a more lofty form of the title  Rabbi,  was a title that was rarely used and was usually reserved for highly esteemed teachers who had both divine knowledge and authority to teach others." text from LDS.org Many of you may know that it is very rare for me to actually sell one of my original oil paintings. I want to explain to you the reason that I am choosing to make this new painting available now. Elder Borup Mexico, Mexico City Chalco Mission ...
