    Merry CHRISTmas

    by  • November 30, 2015 • Jesus Christ, Uncategorized • 0 Comments

    At this Christmas time the words of Martha, the sister of Mary and Lazarus, are particularly moving and heartfelt. As recorded in the Gospel of John she said, “I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” (John 11:24–27) His coming is the lynch pin, the crux,...

    But the Sparrow Still Falls

    by  • April 20, 2015 • Faith, Uncategorized, Zion • 0 Comments

    Tragedies abound. The inhumanity of men and women is broadcast continuously on the television, radio, and internet. Wars and rumors of wars (Mormon 8:30-31; D&C 45:26-27) are heard. Torture. Brutality. Violence. Horror. Pestilence. Famine. Sickness. Death. Where in all this unspeakable suffering is the presence of God? Where is any semblance of fair play...

    The Gospel of Hope

    by  • January 27, 2014 • Faith, Jesus Christ, Peace, Second Coming of Christ • 0 Comments

    The classic question, and favorite of armchair psychologists everywhere; “Is the glass half full or half empty?” The correct answer is supposed to yield insight into one’s outlook on life, one’s personality, one’s soul. The true answer is neither, none of the above. The glass is always, and precisely, 100% full. Half fluid, and...

    The Constitution of the United States

    by  • October 14, 2013 • Government • 0 Comments

    As Latter-day Christians, we believe the constitution of the United States was established by The Lord (D&C 101:77, 80). This does not, however, mean the constitution contains a fullness of the Lord’s views on government. While we believe the constitution was an inspired document, we also believe in continuing revelation. The heavens are not...

    The Sabbath Yardstick

    by  • July 1, 2013 • Uncategorized • 0 Comments

    We are commanded to remember the Sabbath day. The whole day, not just the Sabbath meeting. The Sabbath entails much more than just a few hours on Sunday. It is a day long event. How we observe and sanctify the Sabbath is a sign between the Lord and us of our sanctification by Him....

    Messengers of Peace

    by  • June 17, 2013 • Boy Scouts, Peace, Zion • 0 Comments

    The Boy Scout program is promoting a new “Messengers of Peace” initiative consisting of three dimensions of peace: personal (harmony, justice, and equality), community (opposition to violence or hostility), and peace between man and its environment (social and economic welfare, relationship with the environment). Consider these three aspects of peace. In today’s world of...

    The Names of God – I AM

    by  • May 27, 2013 • Hebrew, Jesus Christ • 0 Comments

    In Exodus 3:13-15 Moses asks The Lord / Yehovah what he should tell the sons, or children, of Israel when they ask him what the name of God is. There is great importance paid here, and elsewhere in the scriptures, to the names of God. In Ezekiel 39:7 we are told, “I make...

    Charity Never Faileth

    by  • May 13, 2013 • Greek, Uncategorized • 0 Comments

    The apostle Paul tells us of all the spiritual gifts there is one which is preeminent. One which is to be desired above all others. One which will never fail. Charity, the pure love of Christ (1 Cor 13:8, 13, Moro 7:46-48). Why is charity, this pure love of Christ, head and shoulders above...
