Answers to a rabbi: Do Mormon politicians take orders from Utah?

This is the second post written in response to Rabbi Mordecai Schnaidman’s letter to the editorof The Jewish Week. He posed three questions about Mormonism in relation to Mitt Romney’s candidacy.

The Gospel of Trying with Katie Hughes

Do you do a "one-word" type of challenge for the new year? Perhaps you should consider making "try" your word of 2023 as we focus in on what we can do to better grow closer to the Savior.

5: “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord” (Matthew 3, Mark 1, Luke 3)

Think back to your baptism—who helped you prepare for that special day and who stood with you in the water? And even more importantly, why were you baptized and what covenants did you make? In this week’s lesson, we have the opportunity to remember this sacred ordinance by reflecting about the Savior's baptism. As we study Matthew 3, Mark 1, and Luke 3, we'll meet John the Baptist, who helped prepare the way for Christ's coming. We'll learn about how the Savior was baptized in the Jordan River. And we'll discover anew the beauty of Christ’s example of obedience and remember why we all follow Him into the water.
