@jesse_k_fox I believe it refers us messages given earlier. For example, Elder Causse's talk about the love of God. God's love will never fail! Although we may stray, His love is always there. The Lord directs His conferences beautifully🥰
@realDrTT Joseph Smith had very similar beliefs.
"If it has been demonstrated that I have been willing to die for a Mormon, I am bold to declare before Heaven that I am just as ready to die in defending the rights of a Presbyterian, a Baptist, or a good man of any other denomination..."
Missionary work is soaring to new heights. We are days away from the opening of 55 new missions. This brings the total number of missions to 506. There is a total of over 87,000 full-time missionaries. And we are currently being reinforced by the first wave of 18-year-old sisters beginning their service.
In coming weeks, we will have the largest number of full-time missionaries in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
These missionaries’ first responsibility is to testify of Jesus Christ to a world that suffers without knowledge of His divine mission. They invite people across the globe to become part of His true and living Church.
I affirm my testimony of Jesus Christ and the truth of His gospel. The Holy Ghost has given me a witness of its truthfulness, and I rejoice that I can spend my life in proclaiming it.
God Loves His Children: Every time I go somewhere, I think “Who does the Lord want me to see?”
During my recent assignment to the Europe North Area, Christine and I joined nearly 1,500 young single adults gathered in from across Europe. We could feel their strength, hope, and commitment to the gospel. More specifically, I could hear the Lord reaching through me to try to communicate just how much the He loved each one them.
Those feelings were real and profound. I know that God loves His children and one of the miracles of my calling is that I repeatedly feel that love pour through me as I teach and minister to others in His name.
True faith is focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ and is a principle of action, trust, and power.
As we act in accordance with the truths of the Savior’s gospel and trust in His promises, we are blessed with the spiritual capacity to “rise up” and press forward through the challenges of mortality while experiencing the joys His gospel makes possible in our lives.
Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity. Enduring to the end is not merely a relentless determination to grit our teeth, hold on to the limits of our physical strength and mental capacity, and push through the challenges and adversities of mortal life; it is so much more than that.
Enduring to the end is the joyous quest of a lifetime—a pressing forward with faith in Jesus Christ in a gradual process of trusting in and receiving help from our Savior to become more like Him. As our love for Him grows ever stronger and deeper, we can be blessed to receive spiritual perspective, the Lord’s empowering grace, and exceedingly great and indescribable joy.
When it comes to deepening our conversion to Jesus Christ, we can always go deeper.
We shouldn’t compare the depth of our conversion to reaching the bottom of the swimming pool. Our potential to deepen our conversion to Jesus Christ is greater than the vastness of the ocean or the expanse of outer space.
When we “launch out into the deep” (Luke 5:4), we will be amazed at the extent of our Savior’s love for us.
Our Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to relate to one another. The great commandments in the law, He taught, were to love—God and neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-39)
He died for us so that we could be redeemed. What a Good Friday indeed. There is no greater love than Christ's willing sacrifice for us! As we use Good Friday to remember Jesus Christ, how will you follow His example of love?
To all the members of Congress that voted today to continue to conceal Congress’s sexual harassment slush fund, go home and tell your daughters what you’ve done.
Easter is an invitation to begin again. Through Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, hope returns, hearts can heal, and burdens can be lifted. Make time this season to feel and share His love.
"I was sexually abused by my Step-Father from age 6 - My Mother Patricia Gucci did not protect me"
This is Famous Designer Goods 'Gucci' Heir Alexandra Zarini speaking out against her abusing & probably sacrificing her future entitlement to inherit tens of millions in the process.
In preparing a book that was recently published, I took the occasion to reflect anew on the teachings I have emphasized throughout my service as a General Authority.
In doing so, I have felt deep gratitude for the great, unchanging fundamentals of the gospel—our knowledge of the Savior Jesus Christ, the priesthood of God, and the plan of salvation. This doctrine has anchored my life and direction.
As we increase our understanding of these foundational truths and live according to them, our love for the Savior will grow. I testify that He is our Redeemer, the light and life of the world.
Three times Paul asked the Lord to remove his adversity, but the Lord responded:
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor 12:9
Consider where the Savior may be refining you rather than relieving you.

“His invitation and His hand are extended right now, and all are included.
“But let us be clear, the Savior is not offering to walk with us on whatever path we are following. He's inviting us to walk with Him on His path.
“His path is the one, the only one, that leads to eternal happiness and eternal life.” - D. Todd Christofferson
