Serving a mission can be hard…especially when you’re getting rejected at every door. But buried within the Book of Abraham is something that can help missionaries become effective in whatever culture they’ve been called to take the gospel to. Abraham was called on a mission to the Middle Eastern, Egypt mission. Talk about a tough mission…
Let me tell you a small story about love. There is no romance, no candles, no kissing, no dating tips etc… There are also some not so delightful graphic images below so just beware. The story starts about 2 years ago when the most magnificent purebred German Shepherd stumbled and struggled it’s way to our…
If you’re a Mormon, you’ve most likely had another Christian say or insinuate something to the effect of, “You Mormons think you can work your way to heaven.” It’s just bound to happen. Many times, the person saying this to you is either quoting their pastor, or something they might have read in a book somewhere. If you’re…
Pornography has subtly become the most destructive weapon on earth against humanity. It’s a masked monster, a trojan horse, and a destroyer of everything that is pure. It’s claiming victims, and wiping out the moral compass of millions of people worldwide and it’s not just men that are being effected. Women are increasingly becoming addicted…
Some people believe that you can’t be an intellectual and a Mormon at the same time. They might say that Mormons are “all heart and no brains.” I think that’s horribly wrong.

How would you like to be known for the next 2,000 years as “doubting Thomas?” Tradition has it that the guy preached the gospel for the rest of his life until he was speared to death in India. The only thanks he gets for his contribution to the Lord’s kingdom is for everyone to refer…
April 3rd 2016 Dear Missionaries – Six months ago, almost the entire Church wanted to reach their arms through the TV screen to hold President Monson as he stood at that pulpit. Today, conference Sunday…with all the turmoil going on in the world, I can’t help but want to reach out to each of you,…
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.
