Scriptural miracles are not just stories. They actually occurred, showing us how Heavenly Father acts in His power.

In the Old Testament, we read about a faithful widow who, following the inspired instructions of the prophet Elisha, gathered as many empty pots as she could and poured oil from her one small pot into each of them. The oil filled them all, running out only when the widow ran out of pots (see 2 Kings 4:1–7).

When sharing that story, Sister Christofferson likes to point out that the Lord’s blessing of oil for the widow expanded to fill all the capacity she had to receive it and presumably would have continued had she had more pots—suggesting that the Lord is willing to give what we are prepared to receive.

Miracles teach us that God, according to His purposes, timing, love, and wisdom, will give us what we are prepared to receive.

The ultimate lesson of the Book of Job is that our job, like Job’s, is to trust God no matter what.

Whenever we pass this building on the 5 freeway, my daughters say: "Look, Elsa's castle!" I always smile.

LDS Temples (like the white-steepled one here in San Diego) are beautiful and extraordinary. In them, members of the Church of Jesus Christ come to commune with God and partake in special ordinances -- like performing baptisms on behalf of ancestors who have died (see 1 Cor 15:29!). This is our way of finding our way in life and in eternity.

These special covenants and ordinances were revealed to Joseph Smith in 1842.

It turns out that there is significant evidence that the Saints in the first century ALSO upheld similar sacred ordinances.

Here's a dynamic explainer on this interesting subject:

I mean, come on!

An ancient submarine? Sealed top and bottom? A stoppable air-hole? Sixteen glowing stones touched by the finger of God on a mountaintop to see in the dark?

How did Joseph Smith think he'd get away with this crazy story?

Turns out, every detail he described has been uncovered in MULTIPLE ancient texts which were UNKNOWN in 1829!

Enter, the Jaredites!

Happy Mother's Day! There's a wonderful testament to the mother of our Savior, Mary, in the Book of Mormon.

Nephi, the hero of the early pages of the BofM, is shown the tree of life in a vision, and then he immediately thinks of the virgin who will bear a son -- why?

It turns out the culture of his day - this was a natural interpretation - as Professor Daniel Peterson showed us. Nephi and his Asherah. (turn captions on)

The very purpose of having agency is to choose God and to love, serve, and bless our brothers and sisters.

How do you interpret 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 and 2 Corinthians 12:2 in the bible?

Abigail Shrier: "The number one symptom of depression is rumination, pathologically obsessing over your pain. Getting out of your house and accomplishing anything is good for you, sitting around, talking and thinking about your problems is a bad habit."

Truly, Jesus Christ is the way to peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come. He knows and loves each of us perfectly, and invites us to walk with Him, abide in Him, and follow His example of ministering to others one by one in charity and love.

We have been reminded of the central role of marriage and families in our Heavenly Father’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. May we demonstrate the pure love of Christ in our families, in our communities, and in all of our interactions with God’s children.

The world today seems to be in commotion. There are wars and rumors of wars. The economies of whole continents seem to be faltering. Prophesied wickedness seems to be accelerating as the Savior’s return draws nearer.

Yet despite turmoil and difficulty, faithful Latter-day Saints in hardship across the world have flooded heaven with prayers.

In public, and in private, they are petitioning the Lord for help, for comfort, for direction, and personal peace for those they love.

Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us.

As we pray continually, no matter the circumstances of life, the Lord will offer us His peace and abiding support.

Consistent prayer during joyous times and also during seasons of distress and grief will surely be rewarded according to His will and perfect timing.

“Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity.” — Elder David A. Bednar (@BednarDavidA) #GeneralConference

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

I don't think it's a coincidence that this Holy Week, we saw NASA send humans back to the moon and we may see a comet illuminate the daytime sky. But @_jeremiahj takes it a step further:

“We have the exact date that Jesus died from Roman crucifixion... He died on Friday, April 3rd, A.D. 33. Guess what today is: Friday, April 3rd... We know a lunar eclipse was seen when Jesus was being crucified. The fact that we are going back to the moon on the very week, on the exact day, April 3rd, the crucifixion happened, that is providential. That is no accident and people need to wake up.”

[David A. Bednar @BednarDavidA]

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 linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity, or the pure love of Christ. As we are blessed to receive this supernal gift, a transformation occurs in our spiritual nature and character. Charity encompasses both what we do and what we can become as this spiritual gift ultimately possesses us.

As we follow, love, and serve the Savior, we gradually focus less on our own desires and interests, and more on understanding and addressing the needs of others. We do not merely perform benevolent deeds; rather, our state of being is changed and becomes increasingly Christlike. Charity, then, ultimately possesses us.

The scriptural phrase “endure to the end” is a repeated reminder of the mighty spiritual change in our hearts that should be ongoing throughout our lives; it also is His promise of what we may become if we truly are possessed of the pure love of Christ. #GeneralConference

When Mary returned to the Garden Tomb, angels—and then the risen Savior Himself—asked her a simple, searching question: “Why weepest thou?” (John 20:15). At Easter, that same loving question is quietly extended to each of us.

I pray that you will find in your faith the light, the love, and the joy that He would have all of us feel at this sacred time of year.

[David A. Bednar @BednarDavidA]

In this special and sacred Easter season, I joyfully declare my witness that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of the Eternal Father. He lives. He is risen. #GreaterLove
