In recent decades, some have questioned whether it is necessary to accept the Book of Mormon as an authentic ancient record to believe it is inspired. As the “Inspired Fiction Theory” goes, the Book of Mormon can be read as inspired yet fictional scripture that draws readers closer to...

Elder Ronald A. Rasband, excerpted from "Led by Divine Design"
- In June of 1837, the Prophet Joseph Smith called Heber C. Kimball, an Apostle, to go on a mission to England. Elder Kimball’s call came as the two sat in the Kirtland Temple and Joseph spoke with divine authority: “Brother Heber, the Spirit of the Lord has whispered to me, ‘Let my servant Heber go to England and proclaim my gospel and open the door of salvation to that nation’” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 327). That whispering of the Spirit is an example of how the call comes to servants of the Lord to send missionaries...

Why We Need to Be Careful About How We Use the Phrase "Choosing to Be Offended"
Jessica Grimaud
- Apples to Apples is no fun and games; Apples to Apples is serious business . At least, that’s what it feels like when I play against my competitive family. Though my husband is equally competitive, he still lost Apples to Apples every time we played with my family. Then one day he had an epiphany: “I realized I’ve been playing it wrong. I put down the card that I would pick. I don’t really consider what I think the other person I’m playing to would pick,” he told me. I jokingly replied, “ Duh , everyone knows that.” But then I...
