A testimony is a priceless gift from God. But even though a person may receive a witness through the Holy Ghost, there is no guarantee that this testimony will remain steadfast unless the person exerts constant effort to keep that testimony alive. Testimonies gained may be lost through carelessness, indifference, and/or neglect. – Henry D. […]
Moroni has left us in the Book of Mormon itself the recorded promise that if anyone will read it “. . . with real intent, having faith in Christ, . . .” and will ask “. . . God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, . . .” whether it is true, he […]
The story of the Book of Mormon which our missionaries are carrying to the people of the world and of which they bear testimony as to its divinity, is accompanied with that clear and unfailing guide like unto that which the Savior presented when he said, “If any man will do his will, he shall […]

He, with His Heavenly Father, appeared in person to Joseph Smith in a grove of trees in New York. The gospel of Jesus Christ and His priesthood were restored through heavenly messengers.16 By the […]

When my great-grandfather and his fellow pioneers built the Heber fort, they put up one log at a time until the fort was “fitly framed together”28 and they were protected. So it is with testimony. One by one we gain a […]
