Mercy through Oneness with Christ
The Lord’s saving mercy is not dependent on lineage, education, economic status, or race. It is based on being one with Christ and His commandments. – Quentin L. Cook, “Be One with Christ,” Liahona (CR) May 2024

The Fickle World
This fickle world often feels tempest tossed, uncertain, sometimes fortunate, and—too often—unfortunate. Yet, in this world of tribulation,1 “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God.”2 Indeed, as we walk uprightly and remember our covenants, “all things shall work together for your good.”3 All things for our good. – Gerrit W. […]
Finding Answers
The profound questions of the soul, those that surface in our darkest hours and highest trials, are addressed through the unwavering love of Jesus Christ.5 In Him, and through the promised blessings of His restored gospel,6 we find the answers we seek. It is through His infinite Atonement that we are offered a gift beyond measure—one of […]
Don’t Stop Looking
My friends at FamilySearch have taught me that over one million new names are added to FamilySearch each day. If you didn’t find your ancestor yesterday, I invite you to look again tomorrow. When it comes to gathering Israel on the other side of the veil, there has never been a better time to be […]
Spiritual Sight

Patterns of Devotion
Frequent participation in the ordinances of the temple can create a pattern of devotion to the Lord. When you keep your temple covenants and remember them, you invite the companionship of the Holy Ghost to both strengthen and purify you. – Henry B. Eyring, “All Will Be Well Because of Temple Covenants,” Liahona (CR) May […]
Integrity Means…
Jesus Christ is our Exemplar. Living a life of integrity requires us to be true to God, to each other, and to our divine identity. Integrity flows from the first great commandment to love God. Because you love God, you are true to Him at all times. You understand that there is right and wrong […]
Confidence in Covenants
As we make covenants in holiness before God and commit to follow the Savior, we receive the power to change our hearts, renew our spirits, and deepen our relationship with Him. Such an endeavor brings sanctification to our souls and forms a sacred bond with God and Jesus Christ, who promise that we can inherit […]
Personal Constant Revelation
One of the great truths of the Restoration is that the heavens are open—that we too can receive light and knowledge from on high. I testify that is true. But we must be wary of a spiritual trap. Sometimes faithful Church members become discouraged and even drift away because they haven’t had overwhelming spiritual experiences—because […]
