@Latterdaytruth His Book of Mormon invitation to the Church in 2005. It was the first time I had really read the entire Book of Mormon on my own outside of Seminary or family scripture study.
After that, his remarks at the dedication of the Hinckley Building at BYU-I.
“The Church and organizations like FAIR work hard to provide substantive answers to the questions people have about our history. This has been a little like playing whack-a-mole, where a new question pops up, and we rush to formulate a helpful answer. While providing reliable, accurate information and well-reasoned responses is important, especially in today’s convoluted information environment, it is not enough. We also need to help Latter-day Saints become better questioners and better seekers. They need principles for approaching Church history questions as much as they do the content of the answers we try to provide. If we master the skill of examining and approaching our questions, then, as new questions arise, we will be more spiritually and intellectually self-sufficient and less vulnerable to the latest supposed 'gotcha.'”
— Matthew S. McBride
I got to edit this book on the Old Testament for work at @ldsfair last year. Sometimes it got frustrating, but it was a blast working with my friends. Hope you guys might like it as well.
Let's be honest, #OldTestament feels like the most intimidating #ComeFollowMe year. To help, we compiled the papers from our recent conference into a new book: Open Thou Mine Eyes. It takes on hard questions and defends both the Bible and Latter-day Saint doctrine.
Get it on Amazon or the FAIR Bookstore, links in the replies.
“The question should never be ‘Will the Savior walk with me?’ He will. The real question is ’Will I walk with Him?’” — Elder Clement M. Matswagothata #GeneralConference
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 literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.
I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.
It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.
It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature.
Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.
