The Constitution was divinely inspired.
Not as a closed canon, but as a system that allows people to govern themselves in a measured and calculated way to insulate themselves from tyranny.
While the document at any given moment is static, it’s a “living document” that grows in the way it is understood and at times expands and contracts to fit the needs of the United States.
Similarly, the Church of Jesus Christ is a “Living Church” that is based on a canon that is static at any given time, yet not closed. The understanding of the canon evolves over time through revelation and occasional updates.
I am grateful for the U.S. Constitution and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Together, they will pave the way for the millennial reign of Jesus Christ to be ushered in.
@TeeplesCY For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched-out arm.
Doctrine and Covenants 103:17
"Once we make a covenant with God, we leave neutral ground forever. God will not abandon His relationship with those who have forged such a bond with Him. In fact, all those who have made a covenant with God have access to a special kind of love and mercy."
- Russell M. Nelson
One of my favorite quotes ever. Leave the neutral ground by making covenants with your Father in Heaven. You will never regret it.
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.

World Food Programme (@WFP)(@WFPUSA) Executive Director Cindy McCain (@WFPChief) visited Salt Lake City on Friday, January 30, 2026, to get a firsthand look at the humanitarian efforts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"We deeply value our longstanding collaboration with The Church of Jesus Christ of LatterdaySaints,” said McCain, who toured both Welfare Square and the Bishops’ Central Storehouse. “For 12 years, we have been working together to assist millions of people facing hunger and hardship in 49 countries around the world. The Church’s generosity has not only saved lives; it has also helped families build the skills, resources, and resilience they need to find new hope and opportunity. Together, we will continue our shared mission to save lives and change lives.”

The Lord is preparing His Church and His people, those who bear His name, to receive Him. As part of our preparation for His coming, He will lift each of us so we may rise to spiritual challenges and opportunities unlike any seen in the history of this world.
How, then, can each of us participate in this work of such magnitude and grandeur?
When we take repentance as a joyful opportunity because of our growing faith that Jesus is the Christ, when we understand and believe that Heavenly Father hears our every prayer, when we strive to obey and live the commandments, we grow in our power to receive continuing revelation.
The Holy Ghost can be our constant companion. A feeling of light will stay with us even as the world around us becomes darker.
As we pray and grow our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and our Heavenly Father as our loving Father, we become a vital part in the Lord’s work as He prepares the world for His Second Coming.
