Groups Ask Trump Administration to Investigate LDS Church

"The church has a long history of working with the State Department going through the front door, not the back door," said Boyd Matheson, who served as chief of staff for Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.

Ministering: How to Be Given Love for Someone Else

By Michelle Wilson

I wonder if, when Paul penned the immortal words, “charity never faileth” (1 Corinthians 13:8) he had any idea it would be the mantra and motto for millions and millions of women nearly 2,000 years later. Probably not. Yet is it. It’s the theme of Relief Society. It is the greatest commandment. Mormon taught that charity, “is the pure love of Christ” (Moroni 7:47). That sounds beautiful, doesn’t it?

How a Note from This Man's Deceased Son Led to a Profound Vision of the Spirit World

By Cameron C. Taylor

Author's Note: I served as a full-time missionary in the Hawai‘i Honolulu Mission from 1994 to 1996. Manu Nāpela is a fictional character; however, the principles and stories he shares are true. Manu represents the wisdom and experiences of several people. The other names, places, and accounts throughout my book are factual and are from my missionary journals and memories. I [Cameron Taylor] had this dream on December 25, 2014. The details of the dream and interpretation of the dream have not been changed or adapted other than having the dream told by the character Manu.
