Our words can be supportive or angry, joyful or mean, compassionate or tossed aside. In the heat of the moment, words can sting and sink painfully deep into the soul—and stay there. Our words on the internet, texting, social media, or tweets take on a life of their own. So be careful what you say […]
The gospel of Jesus Christ is truly the “good news of great joy”!12 It is a message of matchless hope! A message of yoke-bearing and burden-lifting.13 Of light-gathering. Of heavenly favor, higher understanding, holier covenants, eternal security, and everlasting glory! – Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “A Higher Joy,” Liahona (CR) May 2024
Christ directed us to “go and bring forth fruit, … that your fruit should remain.”1 But He wasn’t speaking about peaches. He was talking about God’s blessings to His children.

It is through His infinite Atonement that we are offered a gift beyond measure—one of […]
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 […]
