37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the nameContinue reading “O Jerusalem!”

Cleansing
The House of the Lord is a place of spiritual reflection. It is a place where those who seek God can find Him in worship. Covenants are made in the Temple and Heaven’s blessings are given. As a place of worship, the Temple is a sacred space and separate from the world. Unfortunately, the priestsContinue reading “Cleansing”
Holy Week
Today is Palm Sunday! The beginning of the week that celebrates the life and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. It was at this time, the ancient Passover week, that so many amazing and awe-inspiring things happened in the history of the world for the benefit of all mankind.

The Whole Earth
Many people in Africa are accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ whole-heartedly. In a recent visit to West Africa, Elder D.

Baptism is a necessary step on the path of discipleship. After baptism and confirmation many questions arise, such as, how do I know IContinue reading “An Informed Mind”
Hope Of Youth
Sometimes only young people have the courage to choose what is right. Helmuth Hubener was only 16 years old when he discovered that his government was lying to him and all of their citizens. In spite of great personal danger, he decided to oppose the Nazi party rule. In 1941 he printed out leaflets containingContinue reading “Hope Of Youth”
Light & Dark
Ever since our first parents ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the world has been divided into light and dark, left and right, good and evil. All things have two sides, all roads lead off into at least two directions. Indeed, every instance of life requires choice. As weContinue reading “Light & Dark”
Ask, Seek, Knock
The Lord was very clear in His teachings. If we really want to know something, we need to search for the best answer, study it out in our minds, and then ask Him in prayer if our conclusions are right. In D&C 9, Jesus explains – 8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study itContinue reading “Ask, Seek, Knock”
