William Wines Phelps, born February 17, 1792, in Hanover, New Jersey, wrote “The Spirit of God.” Phelps has a storied history with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that traces back to April 9, 1830. After purchasing a copy of the Book of Mormon from Parley P. Pratt, he spent many hours discussing and learning about the Church. Just over a year later, in June of 1831, he came to Kirtland, Ohio, where he met with Joseph Smith and asked him for a revelation. When the Prophet sought the Lord for information concerning Phelps, section 55 of the Doctrine and Covenants was recorded.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir releases redesigned website

It's the 10-year anniversary of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's first launch into cyberspace, and the church has completed its first major upgrade to the Choir's website.

Take a peek at mormontabernaclechoir.org. The look of the website is completely different and resembles the church's flagship site, lds.org. The site has better key word searches, responsive design for viewing on mobile devices and better integration with other church websites. It also has better back-end analytics that will enable the choir staff to improve the "user experience" of visitors over time.

BYU coeds hold onto LDS standards on 'The Sing-Off'

It helped Laina Walker and Amy Whitcomb of Delilah immensely to have BYU's Vocal Point guys just down the hall in the hotel during the taping for NBC's reality show, "The Sing-Off." They could go with them to church and rely on them for the strength of the priesthood held by faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Societal advances, founding of LDS Church coincided

In an entry recently written for "Mormon Scholars Testify," economist and economic historian Mark Skousen highlights the remarkable changes that occurred around the year 1830 — the year in which The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded. Two decades ago, he reports, he was struck by a 1991 book titled "The Birth of the Modern: World Society, 1815-1830," written by the eminent British historian Paul Johnson. Johnson devotes more than a thousand pages to a mere 15 years that, he contends, changed the course of human history and founded the modern world.

How God Can Love His Children Equally Even While "He That Is Righteous Is Favored of God"

By Andrew C. Skinner

We could discuss many other qualities that God possesses, along with scriptural or prophetic verification. But one attribute of God seems to undergird and overarch all the rest: God is love (1 John4:8). He is the complete embodiment of that quality. To me, this means that God’s attribute of perfect love influences, shapes, and mediates all of his other qualities and characteristics.
