What Is Behind Curtain Number 1?

by

I could be a game-show junkie. Fortunately, I don’t very often take time to watch game shows. I fear though that if I ever receive the “Game Show Network” on my TV, I’d become hooked. One recent morning, I had some extra time and so I picked up the remote control and a copy of The Book … Read more

From God’s Perspective

by

First of all, let me state clearly: I do not speak or think for God. I do not represent Him in any official capacity or calling. I’ve taken upon myself the covenant to remember Him, and to do my best to follow His commandments; but the evidence that I fail at this clearly shows that … Read more

Give Happily

by

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 9:7). It was early on a Saturday morning, and only my one-year-old and I were up  (the rest of the family was sleeping in). I gave him … Read more

And the resurrection from the dead is the redemption of the soul” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:15-16). This little piece of information throws a great perspective on the purpose of this life. Some religions believe … Read more

We live at a time in the world’s history when there are many difficult challenges but also great opportunities and reasons for rejoicing. There are, of course, those times when we experience disappointments, heartaches, and even tragedies in our lives. However, if we will put our trust in the Lord, He will help us through … Read more

The unrecorded sermon

by

It must have been an incredible sermon! I imagine the fishermen, tired from toiling all night and catching nothing, now trying to clean up and put away their nets and forget about their poor results. Along comes a crowd. The man they are following asks the fishermen if he can use their boat. If they … Read more
