To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I might have to come back to this lesson regularly to review what I’ve learned about peace. We live in a world that makes a special point to remove peace from our lives, so I must consciously seek to bring it back. We live in a fast-paced, violent-loving, action-packed environment and often brag about how […]
While serving as a docent, at the Church History Museum, we used to say that the Museum was the best-kept secret in Salt Lake City. I always enjoyed sharing the stories of our Church History. The Church History Museum has been closed all of this past year redesigning the entire main floor and I […]
I decided that I wanted to study the gospel more in depth this year. I will thoroughly enjoy reading the Book of Mormon again, in its entirety, but I also wanted to add gospel topic study, so this year I am going to take the Relief Society lessons and study them in depth. These […]
Everyone seems to be talking about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their recent stand on same-sex family policies. I wasn’t going to add to the conversation until someone took a post I wrote to malign the church. Right here and now, I want to state clearly that I support the LDS […]
The daily pursuit of seeking the Spirit helps us focus on spiritual things where we are able to subdue the natural man, live worthy lives, and enter into the House of the Lord where we are spiritually and eternally healed. If Pres. Benson said the following phrase four times alone in this lesson, he must […]
Is it really true that there are members of our LDS faith, who are active and in good standing, who struggle with what prophets, both past and present, say? I just find that very difficult to understand. Because the prophets have always been God’s mouthpiece, isn’t it obvious they say what He wants His […]
Five talks, during the October 2014 General Conference, were given that specifically stated we must keep our eyes on the living prophet. We have to ask why that message was given to us over and over again that weekend and in this lesson–and always. I believe the answer is that by listening and obeying the prophet, […]
From everyone I’ve talked to, the afternoon block of meetings on Sunday is highly undesirable. Being right smack in the middle of the day gives me no time to really do anything! We used to belong to a ward that had its own building, so we set the block of meetings, year after year, at […]
Joseph Smith said that the Book of Mormon would bring a man “nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book” (141). That is a pretty powerful statement. In the lesson, one member, taking seriously the challenge to read the Book of Mormon said, “While the bible helped me know […]
Out of all our scriptures, we are under condemnation to “give heed to” the Book of Mormon (pg. 125). If we don’t give heed, D&C 84 warns: “And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant…” (D&C 84:57). We have to address some very serious questions here. Why […]
