The Miracle of The Restoration For the better part of 2000 years, Christianity has had the most fundamental of doctrines wrong. I don’t want you to think that the Catholics or Protestants are not doing a tremendous amount of good in the world because they are. I don’t really blame them for the errors in […]

Am I Closer To Christ At Christmastime? The magic of Christmas is real for most people. It is made real for children by parents who build anticipation by decorating our homes, playing Christmas music, and telling stories of magical characters like Santa. As we grow older, we share good-will greetings and smiles with strangers. We

The Power of Ordinances Moroni 1-6 explains procedurally how the authority was given to the Nephite disciples and how it is used to perform ordinances in basic church operations. The fact that Moroni took the time to engrave these things on the plates as part of his final message should cause us to take special

Humility, Weakness, and Strength Today’s message will be short and hopefully sweet. My regular schedule was interrupted by an extra meeting. This past week, I watched Jordan B.

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

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,

Tying It All Together In preparing for today’s message, I inadvertently tapped on the wrong link in my scriptures and ended up in the last chapter of the Book of Revelation. When I started reading, the verses jumped out at me with several different but connected themes from the recent General Conference and Christ’s teachings

Fire and Light Throughout scripture, especially in the account of the Savior’s visit to the Book of Mormon people, the imagery of fire and light describes spiritual manifestations. In Joseph Smith’s first vision, “a pillar of light” appears exactly over his head, above the brightness of the sun. In the light are the Father and

The Dimensions of Jesus A few months ago, I watched a video that featured an Evangelical Protestant pastor who was in the process of reading the Book of Mormon. He was reading 3 Nephi about the destruction of the more wicked cities during the time that Jesus was crucified. He was puzzled that the loving
