Without Christ…we have no hope. We have nothing. Nowhere to turn and nowhere to go. No future. Nothing. This is not some cliche that we need to tell ourselves to make Christ seem important. It is truth…and no other person/god/angel or anything else on this earth has ever given us a solution to mankind’s greatest…

Like most little boys, I hung out with my mom a lot while I was growing up. She always had these little one liners that sounded like she’d just pulled them from a fortune cookie. “Blossom where you’re planted.” “Actions speak louder than words.” “You can judge a man’s character by how he treats animals.”…
If you’ve been going to church long enough…you have surely heard someone tell a variation of a story about how just after they paid their tithing, there appeared an extra five hundred bucks in their back pocket. In many of these similar stories, the person telling the story feels that they are been rewarded financially because…
Some of my friends and I used to go to McDonalds a lot when I was in college. At this McDonalds, there was an item on the menu that was free: “Smiles are Free!” It said it right there on the menu. It cracked us up! Generally we’d get to the window and the person…
Have you ever looked forward to a general conference because you were certain in your mind that the apostles were going to address some of the crazy issues that are taking place in the world? “There’s got to be some big announcement this time” we might say. “Maybe this is the year we’ll be asked to…
I don’t have a clue when it comes to music. I couldn’t recognize a chord, a string, or a note if my life depended on it. When I was young, I used to make fun of musical people. The band, the choir, the orchestra…they were all just a bunch of “nerds.” What a gall dang idiot…
Albert Einstein once said that “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” Well there’s one “coincidence” regarding the life of Joseph Smith that I just can’t get over. When looked at in the context of what this prophet was supposed to do…it’s almost incomprehensible. The day before Joseph Smith was born was the twenty second of…
I have only a faint recollection of the first time I went to the temple. I really had no idea why I was going and what it was going to do for me. I guess I should have paid better attention in temple prep class…but honestly, I can’t remember that class either. All I know is…
Over the years I’ve had the great opportunity to do business with lots of good Christian people. For the most part, I’ve loved doing business with these people. They are generally honest and upright. Kind and reasonable. Patient and understanding. Truly…it’s been a pleasure. But once in a great while you come across a bad apple….
Just last week we had a Stake Conference and about halfway through the meeting we stood to sing “Called to Serve.” Up to that point in the meeting we heard some of the most simple, humble, and powerful testimonies I’ve heard from the pulpit in a long time. The spirit was strong. When we stood…
