Living in the last days: What President Nelson taught 10 years ago that applies to us perfectly today

By Gerald N. Lund

While serving as a General Authority Seventy, I had one of those unexpected teaching moments that life presents to us. This was when the financial crash was in full swing and our country was experiencing the most drastic drop in the economy since the Great Depression. Every day there were new announcements. The stock market crash. The collapse of the housing market. Major banks, mortgage companies, retirement funds, and investment houses were failing. There was talk of massive government bailouts. Unemployment was skyrocketing. A dark cloud had settled over the country and was spreading to other nations.

20 things the year 2020 has helped me appreciate more

By Jannalee Sandau

Before President Russell M. Nelson’s challenge to turn social media into our own gratitude journals, there were dozens of lists online of things to be grateful for in the year 2020. Since his invitation, millions of ideas have been added by those using #GiveThanks.

Can Our Prayers Change God's Will?

By Jannalee Sandau

I remember a time when there was something that I really wanted to have happen in my life. I felt it was good, but when it wasn’t working out, I got discouraged and didn’t understand why praying for something with such faith wasn’t allowing it to work out. What I didn’t recognize, however, was that the way I understood prayer and God’s will was different from the way God understood it.

The gunslinging general authority who went to prison on the Prophet’s orders: 7 amazing facts about Porter Rockwell

By Danielle B. Wagner

A notorious gunslinger, wanted man, and devout Church member, Orrin Porter Rockwell led a life of paradox.
