4 Ways to Integrate Your Study of Ancient and Modern Scripture
Stephanie Sorensen
- Scripture is a hallmark of religion, and we believe that regular scripture study is a key to spiritual progress and protection. The Latter-day Saint scripture library includes the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. The Lord also instructed us to treat the teachings of living prophets as scripture: “For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith” ( D&C 21:5 ). How can we maintain a course of study that draws upon both sources and gives them the attention they deserve? Here are four...
What Exactly Will Happen During the Salt Lake Temple Renovation? Here's What You Need to Know
Danielle Christensen
- Visitors strolling Temple Square this Christmas may be feeling nostalgic as they take in the lights, the floating candles on the reflection pool, and the nativites, wondering if the historic city block will ever feel the same after the new year. With the Salt Lake Temple closure fast approaching on December 29, the area will look significantly different in the years ahead. Between the Salt Lake Temple renovation, the demolition of the South Visitors’ Center, and a new annex north of the temple, the local community and visitors to Temple Square—of which there are approximately 5 million each year—might be wondering...

Boyd K. Packer, excerpted from "The Holy Temple"
- President Packer's book, The Holy Temple , is a classic of Latter-day Saint literature that has become one of the most comprehensive and definitive works written about temples. In fact, much of the material found in the Church's temple preparation pamphlet comes from this inspired book. The following is an excerpt from this book, where President Packer shares insights from John A. Widtsoe of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostle's and his groundbreaking talk, "Temple Worship." The following excerpt originally ran on LDS Living in 2016. The reason the teaching of the gospel ofttimes is so difficult is that ideals in...
Brooke Romney: Why Family Christmas Service Is Worth the Struggle
Brooke Romney
- A few years ago my sister-in-law shared with me her brutal sub for santa shopping attempt with her young family. Determined to do some good and teach their children about the true spirit of Christmas, they were armed with a list of needs and a handful of wants for a family in a destitute position. She was excited to have her kids walk the aisles of Costco with her, gathering simple things like coats, socks, underwear and then a few fun surprises as she taught them about service and giving. However, reality and the ideal rarely intersect when it comes to...

4 Tips to Help You Focus During the Sacrament
LDS Living Staff
- The following article originally ran on LDS Living in September 2015. When Jesus visited the Americas after His death, He told the people this: "And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me" (3 Nephi 18:7). But obviously it’s a real struggle to remember Christ as much as He would like. There is, however, one set-aside event where our only goal is to think about Christ and His sacrifice for us: sacrament meeting. Picture the following scene in your mind: The sacrament begins.
