Not long ago I stumbled across a 2010 address given to a university entitled “Education, A Religious Responsibility” by Russell M. Nelson, MD. In his talk, he points out that when we die we leave all material wealth behind. The only thing we will take with us is the knowledge we’ve acquired. Thus, our continuingContinue reading “WISDOM”

An Informed Mind 2
How does the Holy Ghost speak to me? After baptism, a person is confirmed and told in that blessing to “receive the Holy Ghost”. This – receiving the Holy Ghost is a choice we make each day as we strive to live worthy of His companionship and then choose to listen to His soft impressions.(2) Elder David A.Continue reading “An Informed Mind 2”
An Informed Mind
As a parent and grandparent I want to teach my family what matters most. Understanding that each person is a Child of God who has divine potential is an important concept. 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”
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.

He loved the humble and the meek and walked among them, ministering to them and offering hope and salvation. That is what He did during His mortal life; it is what He would beContinue reading “Your Hands, His Hands”

Priesthood power was sought by the great prophets of old. Abraham said he sought diligently for priesthood authority that he might administer the ordinances to others (Abraham 1:2). He had a testimony of the work of God and he wanted to be an instrument in the hands of God in bringing many people to salvation throughContinue reading “Secret vs Sacred”
Temples!
Temples have always been a part of Heavenly Father’s church on the earth. In fact, the Garden of Eden is considered to be a type of temple, and was the first dwelling place of Adam and Eve – Heavenly Father’s first children. As Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden, He taught themContinue reading “Temples!”
Christmas
Even non-Christian nations celebrate Santa and Christmas without the Christ. When I lived in China, and Indonesia I was surprised by all the Christmas decorations merchants used to entice shoppers to their stores. Merchants, whether they are muslim or buddhist, love Santa and use his jolly figure to sell just about everything. Merchants and advertisementsContinue reading “Christmas”
