Merry Christmas to each of us! May we all feel God’s love for us and show that love toward our neighbors during this special season.

We rejoice in remembering our Savior, Jesus Christ. He was born in humble circumstances. Heavenly angels heralded His birth. He preached the gospel of repentance, hope, and everlasting life. He opened the eyes of the blind, made the deaf to hear, healed all manner of

Our Father in Heaven has taught us to esteem all of His children as our brothers and sisters. For several years, I have attended the Luz de las Naciones event that showcases the cultures and talents of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with Latin

Brigham Young University (@BYU) taught me what an education truly is. It is the Lord’s university—established by a prophet, led by prophets, and committed to the ideals and values of Jesus Christ.

The family circle is the ideal place to demonstrate and learn eternal values.

To our young friends, please know that you have a Heavenly Father who loves you. He’s provided a plan for you.

Today is the birthday of my wonderful wife, Kristen. How I love her and how grateful I am for our Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness for our families. Our relationship to God and the purpose of our mortal life are explained in terms of the family.

I know beyond any certainty in my life that this is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, restored with the fullness of the gospel that God has chosen to reveal in this dispensation of the fullness of time and led by prophets to the present day.  I respond with

Before we served together in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I sat beside Elder Russell M. Nelson for 34 years in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.  He became my best friend and most effective teacher. His life bore witness of his

Great blessings come to families if they pray together, kneeling night and morning to offer thanks for blessings and to pray over common concerns.  #GeneralConference

I think of President Russell M. Nelson as a servant of our loving Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ and as a Prophet of love in preaching the restored gospel and in reaching out to all of God’s children.

Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. Millions of us are mourning the passing of our beloved Prophet and President, Russell M. Nelson. He was a dear friend and a cherished leader.    His timeless teachings continue to guide us and help us find comfort amid suffering, especially in

It has been my distinct privilege to sit with President Russell M. Nelson in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for more than 41 years. During this time, I have learned and observed much from him about

Even after doing all we are able, sometimes life still does not turn out the way we hoped it would. Singleness, childlessness, death, chronic illness, mental health challenges, divorce, and myriad other circumstances in mortality can feel debilitating to our eternal

Joseph Smith accomplished more than any mortal man could have accomplished in so short a time. During his 38 and a half years of life, Joseph Smith was a man of the frontier—young, emotional, dynamic, and so loved and approachable by the people that they often called him

Joseph Smith was the Lord’s instrument in the Restoration in this dispensation. But what did the Lord restore through him? Here is a very brief list of the massive additions the Lord inspired the Prophet Joseph to make to the fullness of Christian doctrine: 1.The nature of

A common misunderstanding of the judgment that ultimately follows mortal life is that good people go to a place called heaven and bad people go to an everlasting place called hell. This erroneous assumption of only two ultimate destinations implies that those who cannot keep

We read in the New Testament, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). The “lively hope” we are given by the

Our Heavenly Father’s Plan provides powerful divine helps to guide us through our mortal journeys. These include the Light or Spirit of Christ; commandments, ordinances, and covenants; manifestations of the Spirit; and the gift of the Holy Ghost, among others. However, by far
