My husband and I are an LDS couple; a return to active member, & a convert from the Lutheran church. Started a podcast to share what we learn in the scriptures.

"Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ—that is the first principle of the gospel. We must go forward. God expects you to have enough faith, determination, and trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. He expects you not simply to face the future; He expects you to embrace and shape the future—to love it, rejoice in it, and delight in your opportunities." -Elder Jeffery R. Holland

The Family Proclamation is inspired doctrine from Jesus Christ, and following it brings me so much happiness. Knowing I will be with my family forever is so comforting.

Went to the Temple this morning. As we were walking in I had a moment where this felt surreal. Two years ago I wouldn’t have ever thought I’d be walking into the Temple, it wasn’t even something I had thought about. I’m so thankful and blessed we followed the promptings. It has changed our lives.

@TruthHolder2023 This is great! Thank you!

This is cool! Reminds me a little of when Tyndale was getting his pocket bible printed in the 1500’s. Takes courage to do something like this.

E. B. Grandin never joined the Church. I wonder if any of his descendants ever did. If so, they have every reason to be proud.

Before the Book of Mormon changed millions of lives, one man had to decide whether he was willing to print it.

Egbert Bratt Grandin initially refused. Like others, he worried about the controversy surrounding Joseph Smith and didn’t want his print shop tied to such a polarizing project.

Other printers turned Joseph away.

But Grandin eventually agreed. It wasn’t a small decision. Printing 5,000 copies in 1830 was a massive undertaking, and his own reputation was on the line. The project was secured by Martin Harris mortgaging part of his farm to pay the cost.

History remembers Joseph Smith, but it’s worth remembering E. B. Grandin too. Without his press and his willingness to take the risk, the first copies of the Book of Mormon wouldn’t have rolled off the press in Palmyra.

What a remarkable service he rendered to the Restoration.

@TheProjectUnity Awesome!

"First, we must never let fear and the father of fear (Satan himself) divert us from our faith and faithful living. Every person in every era has had to walk by faith into what has always been some uncertainty. This is the plan. Just be faithful. God is in charge. He knows your name and He knows your need."

Another courageous Englishman named John Wycliffe (c. 1328–1384). Often called the 'Morning Star of the Reformation,' Wycliffe was an Oxford scholar and priest who boldly criticized corruption in the medieval Church and taught that the Bible should be available to all people in their own language.

Around 1380–1382, Wycliffe and his associates produced the first complete English translation of the Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate. Because the printing press had not yet been invented, every copy had to be painstakingly handwritten by scribes.

@IllariaDiMar @LatterDayCool Yay! That’s so exciting!

[Nikki @fearless_saints]

Before William Tyndale and John Wycliffe there was St. Jerome of the late 4th century. He translated the bible into latin, the common language then. This translation was called the Latin Vulgate.

The term Vulgate comes from the Latin vulgata, meaning "common", as Jerome intended to provide a clear, standardized text in the everyday language of the Roman Empire.

“And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost” (Moro. 10:4).
