By Yvonne Liu

In the early days of the Church, it was common for members to be called to serve at young ages.

12 Days of Christmas to Christ

By Erin Jones

Four calling birds? A partridge in a pear tree? No one is sure exactly what the twelve gifts in the “The Twelve Days of Christmas” represent, but there have been several theories. One interesting claim is that the song was written to help young Catholics learn their faith. In this interpretation, each Christmas gift represents something connected to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Looking at the song this way helps families focus on the true meaning of Christmas. We've taken this tradition and added a little bit of an LDS spin to it.

“We love this video because it’s fun. It was fun to record. It was an enjoyable experience. It was different music than we’ve often sung, and yet it still has a central core, a belief, a faith, and a draw.”

A human being, not a mythic figure—How this new book approaches learning about the Prophet Joseph Smith's life

By Excerpted from “Know Brother Joseph” edited by R. Eric Smith, Matthew C. Godfrey, Matthew J. Grow

When the angel Moroni first visited Joseph Smith in 1823, he said that Joseph’s name would be known for good and evil throughout the world. Moroni’s statement has never been more true than in the present. Around the globe, millions of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints testify that Joseph was a prophet of God who restored Christ’s Church. As we write this in April 2020, the Church just completed a general conference that celebrated the Restoration. During this conference, the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles released a “Bicentennial Proclamation to the World” that shared their solemn witness of Joseph’s role in the “restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Lesson 31: "Sealed . . . For Time and For All Eternity"

By Ted L. Gibbons

Talk about an extended warranty! When we pay the price to have a marriage performed in the temple of the Lord, we come face to face and soul to soul with the actual meaning of the word endless. When I bought my printer from Office Max, I also purchased a plan to give me two years of protection in case the thing went south on me. Any significant investment of money creates a desire in us to enjoy some permanence. We are often willing to spend a little more to ensure that what we have labored and paid for will last a while.
