Love Thy Wife with All Thine Heart       11 May 2007
In latter-day revelation the Lord speaks again of this obligation. He said, 'Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else' (D&C 42:22). To my knowledge there is only one other thing in all scripture that we are commanded to love wi ...

Challenge to Become       15 Nov 2006
The Apostle Paul taught that the Lord's teachings and teachers were given that we may all attain 'the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ' (Ephesians 4:13). This process requires far more than acquiring knowledge. It is not even enough for us to be convinced of t ...

Understanding Beyond the Written Word       13 Nov 2006
If we are to receive more and thus know more, we must master and live by what we have been given.  We reduce the realm of the unknown, not by wandering in it, but rather by feasting on and expanding our knowledge of that which God has already revealed.  Hence, we h ...

Let us here observe, that three things are necessary in order that any rational and intelligent being may exercise faith in God unto life and salvation.  First, the idea that he actually exists.  Secondly, a correct idea of his character, perfections, and attribute ...
