What (and What Not) to Say to Someone Struggling with Pornography

By Jenny Spencer Hunt

“You know it’s wrong, right?” Yes, they know. And yes, they already feel bad about it. Saying something along these lines will only make them feel more ashamed of their weakness. G. Sheldon Martin, author of Helping Others Avoid and Overcome Pornography, says, “If individuals are going to make it through this challenge, they cannot bear the weight of constant shame. People do not improve when they feel there is nothing to fight for. For true repentance to occur, people must feel godly sorrow. We need to allow that sorrow to happen so the Lord can work within them. Don’t kick them while they’re down.”

Old Testament Lesson 28: "After the Fire, a Still Small Voice"

By Ted L. Gibbons

We do not understand with perfect clarity the activities of those in Paradise, but I have wondered what Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were doing during the reigns of Jeroboam and his appalling successors. We know they are Gods now (see D&C 132:37), but in those early years of apostasy, the view from above must have been heartrending.

Sponsored: Take a tour of the Old West

In July 2024, Glenn Rawson and Dennis Lyman will take you back in time to the Old West. We will board a bus (and wish it was a wagon train) and start our journey out into the sites and scenes of the Old West. We will drive north toward Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Along the way, we learn about the Gold Road, and the history of the fur trappers and traders—those first white men in the Rocky Mountains. In Jackson we learn the story of Jackson’s outlaw origins and its settlement and development as a modern city clinging to a wild past. And from there into the wild country of the Yellowstone—America’s first national park. Please imagine the mountain sights and scenic vistas that will come before your camera.

I was also the first of my siblings to be married and the first of my friends. In fact, the first wedding I ever attended as an adult was my own.
