Salvation for the dead was revealed to Joseph Smith upon the completion of the Kirtland Temple. First came the vision of the prophet’s brother (Alvin, who had passed away in 1823) at a meeting held in the Kirtland Temple, January 21, 1836, just prior to its dedication. (This vision and revelation can be found in […]
I don’t have much to say about this month’s visiting teaching message. But I do have some questions. What did those Saints, in Nauvoo, know about the Lord that made receiving their endowment so important before crossing the Plains? Are we as anxious to go to the temple as those Saints were?

The very first aspect introduced was cleanliness. It went around the room for a while that it was SOOOO important to have a clean house. It was stated […]
There are many ways to interpret Isaiah, as seen by the many Isaiah-made-easy type books that are out there. We still struggle through, or stay clear, of that precious book.
