Nelson announced on August 16th that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wanted its members and others to take greater care with its name and avoid using terms like "Mormon," "Mormonism," "LDS Church," and "Mormon Church," social media exploded with people wondering what would happen with familiar hashtags, especially with general conference approaching.

Emotional Letter Shares Powerful Experience One Sister Missionary Had with the Savior

Book of Mormon Lesson 16: “Ye Shall be Called the Children of Christ”

By Ted L. Gibbons

Mosiah 4-6

14: “He Shall Rise … with Healing in His Wings” (March 30–April 12)

What do you know about the Marys? That’s right, Marys. There are actually several Marys mentioned throughout the New Testament, and many had a personal connection to the Savior. In this week’s Sunday on Monday study group, we’re going to learn more about four of these Marys: Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary of Bethany, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the wife of Cleopas and their powerful testimonies of the Savior.

48: “He Delighteth in Mercy” (Jonah, Micah)

Sometimes we find the Old Testament relatable not because of the stories where people have everything figured out, but because of the stories where they don't. Like us, these individuals are imperfect—and occasionally, they might even have a bit of a rebellious streak. This week’s story is about one such prophet. Jonah sacrificed everything to go and do, but when he got his call to serve, he ran in the opposite direction. Eventually, though, he repented and served with his whole heart. Our study today is in the books of Jonah and Micah, where we learn the stories of normal people who answered the call to be prophets.

32: “A Minister and a Witness” (Acts 22–28)

One of the greatest stories of redemption is found in the life of the Apostle Paul. When we first met him, he was actively persecuting Christ’s followers and even took part in a martyrdom. Yet the Lord knew that Paul could become “a chosen vessel unto [Him.]” Paul did change the whole current of his life and dedicated himself to preaching the gospel. In this week’s lesson in Acts 22–28, we will see just how much Paul was transformed as we read his final letters and departing message to the Saints.
