Why Do Latter-day Saints Struggle So Much with Grace?

By Audy Leavitt

My best friend in jr. high was a born-again Christian. We would often share some of the unique doctrines that made our churches different. I explained the Godhead to her once and she said, “Oh yeah! We believe they’re three separate beings too! It wouldn’t make sense any other way.” The next day she came to school to confess that she’d talked to her mom and she had been wrong. Her church actually believed in the Holy Trinity, meaning God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are all one being.

By Nothing Bundt Cakes

To find the perfect recipe, you first need the perfect ingredients. And that's what our founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were for each other. In 1997, they joined forces, or better yet kitchens, to make cakes for their friends and family. The cakes they made were delicious, unlike anything anyone had tasted. As a result, their friends and family asked them to entertain more and more.

How can I be both grounded enough to hold on to the iron rod and flexible enough to follow the Liahona?

By Haley Lundberg

At a recent stake conference I attended, one of the speakers briefly made a comment about how we can hold fast to the sturdy iron rod while also being flexible enough to follow the direction of the Liahona. Though it was meant to be a passing thought, this idea was all I could think about for the rest of the meeting.

{LDSL Blog} What City Creek Will Do for the Church

By Ashley Evanson

The LDS Church’s for-profit firm City Creek Reserve is behind the construction of the $2 billion mixed-use shopping space that spans two city blocks just across the street from Temple Square. And what’s amazing is that the Church paid for City Creek with cash, not using a dime of member tithing money.

Some think the Church should be using the money to build temples, and others have even called City Creek “great and spacious.” But I don’t see it that way at all.
