Utah voters believe GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon faith is having less of a negative impact in the race than it did four years ago, according to a new Deseret News/KSL poll. But political observers say Romney's membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could still cost him votes in this week's elections, especially among evangelicals in Ohio and Georgia, which have the most delegates of the 10 "Super Tuesday" states.

Three issues of paramount importance to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — faith, family and religious freedom — are the subject of an address from Church Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland published in the fall 2013 edition of the Clark Memorandum (the BYU law school newsletter). The address is a helpful resource that goes hand in hand with the religious freedom materials the Church published online in September.

In a video posted by Wendy Santiano onYouTube, people from all different faith backgrounds were asked deeply personal questions about their relationship with Jesus Christ. The one catch? They couldn't say a word. Watch what happens as these people silently testify of our Savior and Redeemer.

The Bible is a startling book. Its assertions about the human condition are revolutionary. In the Bible we read of men and women like you and me—mortal and sometimes good but often doubting, envious, argumentative, or otherwise fraught with human failings—who come to know God and rejoice in His mercy.

Recently on Facebook, Elder Quentin L. Cook shared principles that will bring prosperity in our lives. While so many measure their success based on their wealth, Elder Cook says that there is so much more to the idea of prosperity than riches and what we own.

When Joseph Smith, the religious genius and sometime-treasure hunter who founded the Mormon faith, announced in 1844 that he was running for president of the United States, international affairs were not his top priority. In a pamphlet outlining his campaign platform, Smith quoted James Madison's inaugural address declaring that he would "cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations." But he never got the chance to elaborate on his foreign policy: Later that year, while Smith was in jail awaiting trial on charges that he had ordered the destruction of an anti-Mormon newspaper, a mob of armed men stormed his cell and fatally shot him as he jumped out of the window.

Manual 1; Excerpt from "The Transforming Power of Faith and Character," by Richard G. Scott

Various philosophers have often mused that there are two halves of our lives. What separates them is the period of time when we transition from a belief system to a humble inner knowing. This week’s guests, Brett and Kate McKay, are no strangers to the evolution of faith and say they have experienced significant moments of decision within their own faith. But they have also found that it is very possible to transition from the first half of life to the second with your faith intact. They believe faith shouldn’t be boring; instead, it’s very possible to stay passionate about the gospel after leaving young adulthood.

No sooner had Mitt Romney lost the presidential election than various pundits and journalists began to declare that the "Mormon moment" was over. Certainly, Romney's candidacies in 2008 and 2012 brought about increased visibility and often scrutiny for Mormonism. Since its founding less than two hundred years ago, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been often ridiculed, attacked and misunderstood by a skeptical and American public. But as Americans learned more about Romney through the campaigns, many wanted to better understand his faith and what impact it might have on his presidency. Owing to that interest, the American media landscape cultivated a robust and largely informative conversation about all things Mormon, including its baptismal practices, the church's missionary efforts, the status of Mormon women and African-Americans, and the faith's history regarding polygamy. "What Do Mormons Believe?" has read the headline of numerous articles of late.
