@Mormonger Don Hinckley and the Monson gang has a nice ring to it.

@Zizaran I too have found that introductions are not necessary when you are holding a whip.

@ExMosPostingLs If we needed an non-American prophet, we would have a non-American prophet. Clearly, Christ is saying we don't yet.

@Manhattva @rogerecoff Why do the guys that are constantly telling me what my beliefs are always look like they abduct children from playgrounds?

Happy Father’s Day!

Today, we honor the dedicated fathers of the U.S. Border Patrol who stand watch over our nation’s borders with unwavering commitment while guiding their families with strength and resilience. Their sacrifice, courage, and selfless dedication to our mission and their families reflect the very best of the Honor First ethos. Whether protecting our homeland or providing for their loved ones, they answer the call with integrity and purpose.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for being protectors both on and off duty.

@Mormonger Heroin is an opioid and has the opposite effect of coffee. Cocaine or meth are more suitable substitutes.

@JimmyParker87 But you don't. When are you going to live up to his example and leave them alone?

[Clark G. Gilbert @ClarkG_Gilbert]

To those who doubt: Justin and Kenna Valdez moved away from family so they could more easily walk away from their faith. But their eight-year-old son still wanted to be baptized.

Sensing a door opening, a wise stake president scheduled us for a ministering visit to their home. Kenna eventually confided that she still had faith in the Savior, and even a testimony of the Book of Mormon, but faced a few triggering issues that held her back.

We promised them that as they anchored on the things they believed, the Lord would help with the things they didn’t. Overcoming their concerns was not an issue of resolving every faith question but of helping them recognize the Holy Ghost.

As President Dallin H. Oaks recently taught, “You live in a season where the adversary has become so effective at disguising truth that if you don’t have the Holy Ghost, you will be deceived.”

Justin and Kenna began to make the changes necessary to come back to church. Six months after our visit, Kenna texted me: “Hi Elder Gilbert! We are ready to be sealed as a family.”

This is a photo from the day they were sealed at the temple.

Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling all of us home.

In recognition of the 250-year anniversary of the founding of the United States of America as a free and independent nation, Elder Quentin L. Cook and I discussed the importance of religious liberty and its underlying significance for the restored Church of Jesus Christ.

We believe in religious liberty.

As the Eleventh Article of Faith reminds us, “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.”

@j_divis @Apologetics941 And Christ said, " I shall send my servant @Apologetics941 to judge on my behalf who is and isn't following my gospel, for my grace is not sufficient for those he declares false or silly. Only he can decide this, as I cannot speak, for it might be seen as a different gospel."

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

The Savior has commanded each of us to love God and to love our neighbor. We are grateful for the faithful efforts of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who strive to fulfill this divine commandment. Their service is a witness of discipleship. 

My counselors in the First Presidency and I recently visited the Church’s new humanitarian center in Salt Lake City. This facility will serve an important role in preparing and distributing emergency supplies to meet global needs. 

I express appreciation for members of the Church and for all who minister in quiet and consistent ways. I testify of Jesus Christ, whose light and Spirit guide the children of God in caring for the poor and the distressed throughout the world.  

May we each accept and act upon this sacred responsibility to bless the lives of all of our Father’s children.

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

People often inquire about the exact time of the Second Coming.

While we cannot know that (see Matthew 24:36), what if the day of His coming were tomorrow? If you knew that you would meet the Lord tomorrow—through premature death or through His unexpected coming—what would you do today?

As Jesus taught in His prophecy of the Second Coming, blessed is the “faithful and wise servant” who is attending to his duty when the Lord comes (see Matthew 24:45–46).

“Wherefore,” the Savior tells us, “be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom—For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I come quickly” (Doctrine and Covenants 33:17–18).

Jesus Christ lives. I testify that He shall come, as He has promised.

@Mormonger To quote the prophet Escanor, "Who decided that?"

@ErnieBernie__ @Manhattva @CapturingChrist He is though. And in 100 years when you and I, Joseph Smith, and anyone else that cared enough to read this post are working side by side to further establish Christ's kingdom, I promise not to hit you with an "I told you so."
