For the Strength of Youth Part 4

Posted in For the Strength of the Youth, tagged , , on 06/27/2026| Leave a Comment »

 June 27 — We’re continuing to work through the new For the Strength of Youth booklet the Church has created for its youth to use in correlation with its new curriculum this fall.

The next section I’m going to cover is titled Walk in God’s Light. This section begins with the importance of light to help us see things clearly and refers to the Holy Spirit as a “heavenly light.”

The first part of this lesson is Eternal Truths (page 17). It refers to the covenants they made at baptism and the future ones they will make in the temple. (more…)

February 9 — Journal of Discourses 2:184 “The seed of Ham, which is the seed of Cain descending through Ham, will, according to the curse put upon him, serve his brethren, and be a “servant of servants” to his fellow-creatures, until God removes the curse…The conduct of the whites towards the slaves will…send both slave and master to hell…The blacks should be used like servants, and not like brutes, but they must serve.

Joseph Smith’s Fulfilled Prophecy

Posted in Joseph Smith Prophecies, tagged , , , , , , on 10/28/2025| 1 Comment »

 October 28 — He got one right!!! It’s not very often I get to report on finding a prophecy of Joseph Smith that he got right, but today I found one. As I was researching quotes of Joseph Smith, I came across the prophecy he gave in Doctrines and Covenants.

D&C 3:4 “For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him.”

Joseph gave that prophecy in Harmony, Pennsylvania in July 1828. (more…)

Don’t Leave Because of Facts

Posted in August, Mormon Dilemmas, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , , on 08/28/2024| 2 Comments »

 August 28 — Don’t Leave Because of Facts. Ensign, Nov. 2009, 37 “Some are willing to set aside the precious gospel truths restored by Joseph Smith because they get diverted on some historical issue or some scientific hypothesis not central to their exaltation, and in so doing they trade their spiritual birthright for a mess of pottage. They exchange the absolute certainty of the Restoration for a doubt, and in that process they fall into the trap of losing faith in the many things they do know because of a few things they do not know.” – Tad R. Callister (more…)

Exalting Oneself Brings Damnation

Posted in February, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , on 02/06/2024| 1 Comment »

 February 6 – Exalting Oneself Brings Damnation. Paul told us in 2 Thess. 2:4-8 anyone who exalts himself to sit on the throne of God would be revealed as a man of sin. It’s the man of wickedness who does this, and then the Lord will “consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming”.

Multiple Gods and People from Other Planets

Multiple Gods and People from Other Planets

 Journal of Discourses 7:285 “Here let me state to all philosophers of every class upon the earth, When you tell me that father Adam was made as we make adobies [sic] from the earth, you tell me what I deem an idle tale. When you tell me that the beasts of the field were produced in that manner, you are speaking idle words devoid of meaning. There is no such thing in all the eternities where the Gods dwell. Mankind are here because they are the offspring of parents who were first brought here from another planet, and power was given them to propagate their species, and they were commanded to multiply and replenish the earth.” – Brigham Young, October 9, 1859, Salt Lake City [emp. added]
