I’ll be speaking/preaching in church this Sunday at the Wilshire 3rd Ward on assignment in the Los Angeles Stake of the @Ch_JesusChrist. The building is perhaps the most stunningly beautiful meetinghouse that I’ve ever seen, built in 1929 in art deco/moorish revival style.

Watch until the end to hear a tender and powerful testimony of Jesus Christ!

@TheTabChoir released a music video on Thursday, April 17, 2025, featuring a children’s choir singing “Gethsemane.”

The endearing children’s choir first sang this song during the 2024 October general conference.

Newsroom had the opportunity to interview several young choir members who participated in this recording and sang in general conference.

Excerpts from Megan McArdle's Bloomberg column on Utah and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:

I found that it's hard to even get a complete picture of how Utah combats poverty, because so much of the work is done by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which does not compile neat stacks of government figures for the perusal of eager reporters.

The Church did, however, give me a tour of its flagship social service operation, known as Welfare Square. It's vast and inspiring and utterly foreign to anyone familiar with social services elsewhere in the country. This starts to offer some clue as to why Utah seems to be so good at generating mobility - and why that might be hard to replicate without the Latter-day Saints.

Many charity operations offer a food pantry or a thrift shop. Few of them can boast, in addition, their own bakery, dairy operation and canning facilities, all staffed by volunteers. The food pantry itself looks like a well-run grocery store, except that it runs not on money, but on "Bishop's Orders" spelling out an individualized list of food items authorized by the bishop handling each case. This grows out of two features of Latter-day Saint life: the practice of storing large amounts of food against emergencies (as well as giving food away, the church sells it to people for their home storage caches), and an unrivaled system of highly organized community volunteer work.

The volunteering starts in the church wards, where bishops keep a close eye on what's going on in the congregation, and tap members as needed to help one another. If you're out of work, they may contact small business people to find out who's hiring. If your marriage is in trouble, they'll find a couple who went through a hard time themselves to offer advice.

Utah's incredible levels of integration, of community solidarity and support, of trust in government and in each other, enable it to build something unique in America, something a bit like Sweden might be, if it were run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Where the best ideas of conservatives and liberals came together in one delicious package: business friendly, opportunity friendly, but also highly committed to caring for the needy and helping them get back on their feet.

[Dieter F. Uchtdorf @UchtdorfDF]

I believe every human being carries in her or his heart some form of fundamental questions regarding life itself. “What will happen after I die?” is one of these questions.

Fortunately, the restored gospel of Jesus Christ provides answers to this question. We know our mortal life is only temporary and will end with the death of our physical body, but the essence of who you and I are will not be destroyed. Life did not begin with birth and will not end with death.

Our spirits will continue living and await the Resurrection—a free gift to all by our loving Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ (see John 5:28–29). At the Resurrection, our spirits and bodies will be reunited, free from pain and physical imperfections!

After the Resurrection, there will be a day of judgment. While all will eventually be saved and inherit a kingdom of glory, those who trust in God and seek to follow His laws and ordinances will inherit lives in the eternities that are unimaginable in glory and overwhelming in majesty.

That day of judgment will be a day of mercy and love—a day when broken hearts are healed, when tears of grief are replaced with tears of gratitude, when all will be made right.

I have confidence that we will not only be satisfied with the judgment of God; we will also be astonished and overwhelmed by His infinite grace, mercy, generosity, and love for us, His children.

🪬 Thank you to @foxandfriends for having me on this morning from #WestByGodVirginia on my message to #SusanSarandon.

🪬 As an American Muslim, I wore for the interview my @IDF hoodie beneath my press jacket and held the sign that captures the mission we must realize to secure the hostages, secure Palestinians in a normal life and secure Israel and her Jewish citizens: Free Palestinians from Hamas.

🪬 Behind me is the hand of Fatima (to Muslims) and hamza (to Jews) — a symbol of protection I wish for all who want to live in peace.

🪬 My phone synched with my laptop during the interview and stole the video feed, so thank you to the fast producers for showing the videos from the leftist and Islamist soldiers of the #WokeArmy on the streets of America.

🪬 They are here — #SusanSarandon is with them and now their martyr for losing her talent agency — and we must stand strong against the Woke Army with moral courage.

[Asra Nomani @AsraNomani]

Hi there @SusanSarandon, this is my mom, my dad and me on the rail trail in Morgantown, West by God Virginia. Let me tell you what it means to be Muslim in America.

First, your backstory: At an anti-Israel protest in NYC, you just said, "There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a Muslim in America:

✅🇺🇸 My dad didn’t have to become a second-class indentured servant to one of the many tyrants of Muslim countries that use immigrants from India, like my family, as essential slaves. In 1975, after getting his PhD at Rutgers, he was about to go to Libya — a Muslim country — led by a Muslim, Moammar Qhadafi, to work like a servant with a PhD for a wealthy dictator…but then the phone rang one day and I picked it up…

✅🇺🇸 It was West Virginia University calling, and my dad got a job as an assistant professor of nutrition. He got rejected first for tenure but being Muslim in America meant he got a right like everybody got — his right to appeal and guess what? He won and he became a full professor. That’s what it means to be Muslim in America. You get your full rights, like @DrZuhdiJasser has wished for his family in the Muslim nation of Syria, where a Muslim dictator destroys the lives of Muslims.

✅🇺🇸 My mom? Being Muslim in America meant she got to live FREE with the wind in her hair, like @AlinejadMasih fights for women in the Muslim nation of Iran to be able to enjoy.

✅🇺🇸 And what did living free mean for my mom as a Muslim in America? It meant in 1981 she got to start a business on High Street in downtown Morgantown, called Ain’s International. That is something that @miss9afi wished women could have had the right to do in the Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia. But guess what? That entrepreneurship and financial independence is denied Muslim women in so many Muslim countries.

✅🇺🇸 That summer my mom started her business, I got on a plane at Pittsburgh airport for Tahlequah, Oklahama, and I went away from home at 16 for a National Science Foundation camp — without a male chaperone, a right denied Muslim women and girls in Saudi for so long.

✅🇺🇸 In another “taste” of being Muslim in America? My family got a pathway to citizenship. You think the Muslim dictatorship of Qatar allows a pathway to citizenship for Muslim slaves, servants or Palestinian Muslims? Hell no. The Muslim Al-Thani family just buys citizenship for Muslim soccer stars from countries in Africa to steal World Cup wins. But otherwise it treats non-Qatari Muslims like slaves. America? My family waited, took the test, studied the constitution and we are citizens — hallelujah!

✅🇺🇸 I’m going to fast forward because this is just a “taste” of what it means to be Muslim in America. In 2002, I fled Pakistan with a souvenir that could have gotten me imprisoned or killed: a baby growing inside of me, a wedding ring not upon my hand. Sharia law makes sex out of marriage a crime in Muslim countries like Pakistan. My body? The mullah’s tyranny. And even dare to be atheist like @YasMohammedxx? It’s also a crime punishable by death — in Muslim countries but not in America!

✅🇺🇸 Where do you think I came to give birth to my baby in safety and security, without shame? West by God Virginia in the United States of America — where we enjoy equal rights as Muslim AmeriCANs, not AmeriCANTs.

This is a “taste” of life for a Muslim family in America. Please don’t minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by sanitizing the hell that it is for Muslims living in Muslim countries and vilifying America for the life — and freedoms — she offers Muslims like my family. Go, live like a Muslim woman in a Muslim country.

You will come back to America and kiss the land beneath your feet. 🇺🇸

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

Today, as fewer and fewer individuals understand the great mission of our Lord and Savior, the theme of Jesus Christ needs to dominate our teaching.

Increasing numbers of youth and young adults need to be reclaimed from denying the existence of God or a Savior or from saying that Jesus Christ was only a mortal—a great teacher but not the Son of God with the unique mission outlined in the scriptures and taught by the prophets.

Others believe that while there is probably a God, He makes no commandments that require accountability, so there is no sin.

The most effective method to counteract anti-Christ ideas is teaching and testifying of the reality of Jesus Christ and the necessity of His mission. Our Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation is the best answer to many of the questions that are troubling youth and young adults.

The covenants provided in the plan of salvation give us access to His redeeming power. As we seek to know Jesus Christ and come to Him in that covenant relationship, He will give us the power and the guidance to make the right choices, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.
