Where Two or Three Are Gathered
Where and if we feel the Spirit depends upon us. Two different converts wrote to President Eyring worried that if their faith wasn’t shored up they might succumb to their challenges and lose their faith. Those who recognize the withering of their faith are the blessed ones because they recognize their loss which is better…

Shipshape and Bristol Fashion: Be Temple Worthy—in Good Times and Bad Times
The adversary and his emissaries assert that we have a choice between happiness in this life and happiness in a future life which they suggest may not exist.

Why Marriage and Family Matter—Everywhere in the World
At the Vatican colloquium on marriage a Muslim scholar from Iran quoted two paragraphs verbatim from the family proclamation. The older I get, the more I realize that family is the center of life. (My nine decades on earth fully qualify me to say this.)

Choose to Believe
Perceiving spiritual light is different from seeing physical light. We will not accidentally come to believe in Christ anymore than we would accidentally pray or pay tithing. Sometimes we can’t see the light, such as if we are down in a ravine, but when we can see the light it confirms that we are in…
