What’s The Point? As we continue with the story of the restoration of truth to the earth through Joseph Smith, we read about the visits of Moroni, a messenger from God, to young Joseph. One of the main points of Moroni’s message was the following; “Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the […]

Your Personal Encounter With God One of the single most significant events in modern history is the appearance of the Father and the Son to Joseph Smith in 1820. It is import is not that Joseph had the encounter with God, it was the beginning of what followed that changed the entire landscape of religion.

Thy Kingdom Come When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, among other things, he said, “…thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” The scope of the kingdom of heaven encompasses a vast number of elements that involve hierarchical structures of authority, harmony and unity, peace and joy, covenantal

Peterson host a discussion on the Gospels. He was surrounded by eight or nine intellectuals, theologians, and philosophers who discussed the meaning of John 1:1. It reads,

Faith To Know All Things The brother of Jared’s encounter with the Savior in the third chapter of Ether deserves more attention than I gave it in my last message. Many of us consider a personal vision or visitation of the Lord beyond our reach. However, I think it is more probable that most of

Faith, Seeing, and Knowing The Book of Ether contains a story of extreme faith. The brother of Jared’s faith opened the veil between heaven and earth, and he saw everything from beginning to end. He did not go to the Lord with the intention of being enlightened; he was simply trying to solve a problem.

Finding Hope In The Face of Sorrow During the last couple of weeks, I have been thinking about the doctrine of hope. The thoughts came as I contemplated the conditions we face in mortality. The state of the world is in chaos. Two extremes exist simultaneously: inconceivable wickedness, marked by the denial of objective reality,
