The Comparison We Should Be Making (and All Those We Should Ignore)
Daedan Olander
- Basketball is one of my favorite things. I love playing, watching, and even talking about the sport that, to me, is the ultimate source of comparisons. LeBron James or Michael Jordan? Stephen Curry or Magic Johnson? The Lakers or the Clippers? These comparisons are fun and serve as good conversation starters. On a personal level, when walking onto a court to play, I am frequently sizing up other players. And I know they are just as often doing the same with me. The unspoken competition of skill causes me to want to accentuate my strengths and hide my shortcomings. This second...

Watch: Latter-day Saint Brothers Face Off in Epic Pitching Competition
LDS Living Staff
- You know, there's just something about sibling rivalries—they just aren't fair. As the oldest sibling of a fairly athletic, competitive family, I've found myself going from pride to amusement to horror as my younger siblings out-staged me in nearly every athletic competition imaginable. And I know I'm not alone. Younger siblings seem to have some weird advantage when it comes to completely demolishing older siblings at things they once thought they were the best at. But some siblings seem to have a better attitude about it than others. Take, for example, these two videos of Latter-day Saint siblings who faced off...

LDS Living Staff
- This week’s readings: 1 Corinthians 8–13 Don’t forget to record your impressions and read the ideas outlined in the Come, Follow Me manuals on ChurchofJesusChrist.org .

20+ Exciting Books Your Family Will Love this Fall
LDS Living Staff
- For New Readers One Little Match Thomas S. Monson loved spending summers at his family's cabin in Utah's Vivian Park. One summer day, he and his best friend, Danny, decided to clear a field so they could gather with their friends and have a campfire that night. The tall, stubborn weeds would not pull out easily. So Tommy had the idea to burn them up instead. He knew he shouldn't use matches without permission from his parents. But he ignored the feeling that warned him of the danger and raided the matchbox in the cabin. Back in the field, he lit...
How the Temple Helps Us Apply Christ's Atonement
Bruce C. Hafen and Marie K. Hafen, excerpted from "The Contrite Spirit"
- The following excerpt originally appeared on LDS Living in October 2015. The role of sacrifice in the temple illustrates how the temple ordinances embody and teach higher Melchizedek-level principles. These ordinances reflect Christ’s sacrifice, and they teach us symbolically how our own sacrifices might seek to echo His. As our Primary children sing, “He knows I will follow him, Give all my life to him.” Performing Ordinances in Similitude of Christ’s Sacrifice When they left the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve built an altar and offered animal sacrifices.
