Let No Man, Nor Woman, Deceive You!

The following is a quote from Elder Ballard:   https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/10/the-trek-continues?lang=eng&country=au Quote below: We must be careful where our footsteps in life take us. We must be watchful and heed the counsel of Jesus to His disciples as He answered these questions: “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man [and I add woman] deceive you.” 9 Today I repeat earlier counsel from Church leaders. ·         Brothers and sisters, keep the doctrine of Christ pure and never be deceived by those who tamper with the doctrine. The gospel of the Father and the Son was restored through Joseph Smith, the prophet for this last dispensation. ·         Do not listen to those who have not been ordained and/or set apart to their Church cal...

Regardless of Your Faith, Do You HOPE The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Truly His Church?

I am a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I joined when I was 19 years old. While I believe the Lord guides all people that follow after Him and even good people on the Earth that know nothing of Jesus Christ, I believe the Lord restored His church.

A Tribute to President Monson

After attending the temple this morning I felt a desire to give a tribute to President Monson and to do so in a way that I hope will inspire others.  I apologize for not proofreading this very much before publishing it. I woke up at ~4:30 AM with the thought of going to the temple.  Knowing I only had around 6 hours of sleep, I decided to go some other morning this week and try to get back to sleep.  4:50 AM rolled around and I felt like I was awake as though I had a good night’s sleep.  I then thought about how, if I was efficient, I could quickly get my suit on and make it to the 5:30 AM session at the Gilbert Temple. While sitting in the chapel area in the temple, a temple patron informed us that President Monson had passed away during the night.  As he spoke, I felt the Spirit unmistakably testify to my heart that President Monson is a good man and that our Heavenly Father is well pleased with him. As I took part in the temple session and felt the...
