Hastening salvation is what we've been called to do, but how does one "Hasten Salvation" exactly? We hasten salvation by sharing the Gospel, we are called to share the Gospel with everyone. Not just with the nonmember, but also the less active, the recent convert, the struggling member, and also the member who is enduring to the end. Facebook allows us to do these things, and if used effectively, it makes a huge impact with minimal effort. So how do you use Facebook effectively? Here are 8 ways!

Books, articles, and numerous Internet websites work to undermine faith in Joseph Smith’s first vision, but historically there have been just three main arguments against it. The minister to whom Joseph reported the event responded that there were no such things these days. More than a century later and in a literary style that masked her weakness in following the historical method, Fawn Brodie wrote that Joseph invented the vision years after he said it happened. A generation later, Wesley Walters charged Joseph with inventing revivalism when, Walters claimed, a lack of historical evidence proved that there was none and therefore there was no subsequent vision as a result. By now it has become a foregone conclusion for some that there are no such things as visions, that Joseph failed to mention his experience for years, and that he then gave conflicting accounts that failed to match historical facts. 1 But these three claims assume much more than they prove.

In 1998, at age 39, Ann Romney was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She had had been feeling symptoms for months, and her once active lifestyle was put on hold as she struggled to adapt to the new conditions her disease presented. She tried many different methods of medication, both pharmaceutical and holistic. Through trial and error, she figured out which methods worked best for her and was able to regain a degree of the strength she previously enjoyed. Although she still suffers from effects of the disease today, she has let her faith in God dictate the trajectory of her life. Read below an excerpt from her new book In This Together: My Story about her personal experience struggling with MS during the 2002 Winter Olympics:

After the great deluge in the book of Genesis, the Lord made a covenant with Noah that He would never again flood the earth. As a symbol of this promise, the Lord pointed to the rainbow. “This is the token of the covenant,” He said, “and I will remember” (Genesis 9:17).

In a recently released leadership training video, members of the Seventy and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles discussed the importance of keeping the sabbath day holy and making sacrament meeting more meaningful. A shortened version of that meeting was then sent out to stake leaders to share with individual ward councils.

Wedding buzz is certainly in the air (actually, mostly in my Facebook feed and on my refrigerator). But it got me thinking. What does the average Mormon spend on a wedding? Legend has it that Mormon weddings are a lot cheaper than the average spent on other weddings. Let’s be honest. We Mormons pride ourselves on our frugality. And what’s wrong with that? Our wedding days are often much cheaper for many LDS reasons: the temple is free, church buildings charge next to nothing for their cleaning fee, friends decorate the cultural hall free of charge—the list goes on.
