 April 13 — General Conference, ‘Jesus Christ Is the Way’, April 2026 “…To walk with Jesus is to follow His prophet. … Think about it: None of us could know the true and living Christ without prophetic witness. … To knowingly reject His prophets is, by His own definition, to reject Him (Luke 10:16).

The Lord warned of a time when “every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god.” Without apostles and prophets, our perception of Christ gradually becomes whatever we want Him to be. Our understanding of doctrine shifts. … As we bind ourselves to Him through covenant and follow His living prophet, we walk the one path that leads us safely home.” — Brian J. Holmes [emp. added] (more…)

Giving Away Sins

General Conference, ‘I Will Give Away All My Sins to Know Thee’, April 2026 “I was born into a non-Christian family. As a boy, I would accompany my mother to Chinese temples to worship different gods. …the great miracle came when I was 10 years old and we moved to Bolivia. I met the missionaries. They taught me about a God I had never heard of before. …Even though I didn’t speak Spanish and couldn’t understand all the words, I felt peace in my heart, and somehow I knew that what I was learning was good. …

In the Book of Mormon, we read the story of an old king who, like me, did not know God. He had met a missionary…[who said]… if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee.” (more…)

December 22 — Numbers 24:17 “I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.”

Matthew 2:8-12 “And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.” (more…)

 February 22 — LDS: Miracle of the Holy Bible. General Conference, ‘The Miracle of the Holy Bible’, April 2007 “It is a miracle that we have the Bible’s powerful doctrine, principles, poetry, and stories.

 February 14 — Jesus Became Perfect When Resurrected. General Conference, ‘Perfection Pending’, October 1985 “That Jesus attained eternal perfection following his resurrection is confirmed in the Book of Mormon. It records the visit of the resurrected Lord to the people of ancient America. There he repeated the important injunction previously cited [to be perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect], but with one very significant addition. He said, “I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect.” This time he listed himself along with his Father as a perfected personage. Previously, he had not. Resurrection is requisite for eternal perfection. . . . Eternal perfection is reserved for those who overcome all things and inherit the fulness of the Father in his heavenly mansions. Perfection consists in gaining eternal life – the kind of life that God lives.” — Russell Nelson (more…)

 December 8 — LDS Church Cautions Against Questioning. General Conference, October 2004, p. 108 “Some people exalt themselves above God and His annointed [sic] servants because of their learning and scholarly achievements. We must never allow our intellect to take priority over our spirit. Our intellect can feed our spirit and our spirit can feed our intellect, but if we allow our intellect to take precedence over our spirit, we stumble, find fault, and may even lose our testimonies.” – Joseph B. Wirthlin (more…)

 General Conference, ‘The Powerful, Virtuous Cycle of the Doctrine of Christ’, April 2024 “Faith in Jesus Christ must be nourished daily through prayer, scripture study, repentance and following the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Honoring covenants helps individuals create a conduit to receive God’s power in their lives. Help others without judging them for their actions. Everyone is struggling, and no one earns salvation. Everyone needs all of the Savior’s infinite Atonement.” — Dale G. Renlund (more…)
