Interactive scripture games, apps for kids

The importance of reading the word of God is something many Christian faiths will agree upon. It is through the scriptures that one can learn of Jesus Christ and find a way to attain eternal life (John 5:39). Now try telling that to a 4-year-old. Your same conviction may be there, but it may not translate. Is there anything in the scriptures that kids can understand?

'Mormon moment' may be more curse than blessing for LDS Church

The so-called “Mormon moment” is a passing fad, with more downsides than benefits to the Utah-based faith, writes Ronan James Head, at bycommonconsent.com. Still, Head, who teaches religion and philosophy at a private boys school in England, believes there are consistent assumptions to be drawn from all the recent exposure:

Even Mormon Democrats like Romney, poll shows

Almost all Mormon Republicans (94 percent) have a favorable view of their fellow believer, Mitt Romney, but so do a surprising 62 percent of LDS Democrats. Shared religion doesn’t always trump partisan politics, though. Just ask Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Mormon Democrat from Nevada is viewed unfavorably by more than half of LDS registered voters and fails to crack 50 percent even among fellow party members of his faith.

Embattled Mormon blogger leaves LDS Church

Rather than wait for possible excommunication from the LDS Church, Mormon blogger David Twede has resigned his membership in the Utah-based faith.

Book of Mormon Lesson 45: "Never Has Man Believed in Me as Thou Hast"

By Ted L. Gibbons

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: The book of Ether is a 15-chapter abridgment of the 24 plates found by the people of Limhi in the days of King Mosiah. It gives an outline history of a people who were led to this continent from the Tower of Babel and became a great nation. These people, called Jaredites, had a national history of possibly sixteen centuries or more. The Tower of Babel record is the factual basis of the book of Ether. The Lord did not confound the Jaredite language, but guided his people and made of them a great nation. Ether, the last great prophet and historian of this people, gives his own genealogy, covering twenty-nine generations or more back to Jared, who lived at the time of the Tower of Babel episode (FARMS, Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, Vol.4, Number 2, p.123).

The Hebrew Meaning Behind "Sacrifice" and "Consecrate" That Might Change How You Understand Your Covenants

By Andrew C. Skinner

As is taught in the temple, the Lord has always required his people to offer sacrifice, from the time of our first parents onward. The type and place of sacrifice have changed over the ages, but the fundamental principles undergirding the doctrine of sacrifice have not. Righteous sacrifices are really symbols of our obedience to the Lord, of Jesus Christ and His atonement, of our desire to imitate the Savior and live as He does. Our offering of sacrifice demonstrates our commitment to follow the Lord above anyone or anything else.
