Where Did the CTR Ring Come From?
Kelsey Berteaux
- The phrase “choose the right” isn’t found anywhere in scripture. Instead, there are only similar phrases like “choose the good” (Isaiah 7:15-16) or “choose the things that please [God]” (Isaiah 56:4). Although Brigham Young once mentioned the phrase in a talk dated 1864, it wasn’t until the 1909 version of the hymnal included the beloved hymn "Choose the Right" that the phrase made its way into Latter-day Saint culture. However, the idea for what we know as a CTR ring wouldn’t appear for almost 60 more years. Though the original idea for the shield logo is usually credited to Helen Alldredge,...

3 Reasons It Can Be Dangerous to Believe God's Love Is the Only Thing That Matters
Jon Cooper
- I saw a post a while ago that has stuck with me for months. This post referenced a choice someone had made—a choice contrary to the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which they claim membership. After explaining their choice and their feelings surrounding it, they shared that they found peace in their choice by focusing on Heavenly Father’s love for them. They had determined that God’s love and their own happiness was the most important part of this situation. While I respect that everyone has different circumstances and are doing their best to make decisions...
The Prompting That Saved a Girl from Abuse and Shows How God Loves Us Individually
Brad Wilcox, excerpted from "Because of the Messiah in a Manger"
- Christ cares for us individually. The inverted five-point stars found on the Nauvoo Temple are symbols of Christ, the “bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16), reaching down to earth and inviting us to reach up to Him. . . . Years ago I was teaching at a session of Especially for Youth at BYU. I finished my final class and was packing up my scriptures and papers when I discovered an anonymous note that had been placed with them: “Dear Brother Wilcox, I am a young woman dealing with a difficult situation in my home. Some things are happening that shouldn’t...
Elder Rasband and How He Saw God's Works Manifested Through Suffering and the Life of His Grandson
Elder Ronald A. Rasband, excerpted from "Led by Divine Design"
- Little Paxton, our grandson, was born with a very rare chromosomal deletion, a genetic disorder that distinguishes him, literally, as one in hundreds of millions. For our daughter and her husband, an uncharted, life-changing journey began when Paxton was born. This experience has become a crucible for learning special lessons tied to the eternities. President Russell M. Nelson taught: “For reasons usually unknown, some people are born with physical limitations. Specific parts of the body may be abnormal. Regulatory systems may be out of balance. And all of our bodies are subject to disease and death. Nevertheless, the gift of a...
