A Powerful Lesson on Ministering from Mary, Martha, and Jesus

As Sister Eubank so beautifully and succinctly stated in October 2017, ministering to our sisters is about doing what she needs. We no longer have a monthly visit to check off our list. It’s not about not finding time the entire month then dropping off a card and a treat on the last day of the month with a doorstep apology. It’s not about our checklist. It’s not about our efforts, it’s about them being ministered to. It’s not about our performance, but about their needs.

Are We Confusing Emotional Experiences with Spiritual Experiences?

By Robert L. Millet

I have been concerned over the years that too often our youth (and, unfortunately, even some of our more experienced members) are prone to confuse sentimentality with spirituality, tears with testimony. Let me illustrate. One Mutual night as I came out of my bishop’s office, I noticed that the members of the Laurel class were huddled in the hall and in the midst of what seemed to be quite a fascinating discussion. They appeared to be talking about one of the young women in their class who had, during the last year, slipped out of Church activity.

When God Is the Storm

By Tommy Johnson

The earliest story recorded in the Book of Mormon is about a prophet named Mahonri, better known as the brother of Jared. As told in the book of Ether, he was directed by God to gather his family and friends and set sail towards a new land, leaving wicked Babel behind. But rather than teaching the brother of Jared how to build a ship like fellow Book of Mormon prophet Nephi built, Heavenly Father taught the brother of Jared and his people (the Jaredites) how to build barges. These barges were round, sightless, steerless, and rudderless. Nevertheless, with some special help from the Lord, the Jaredites built them and headed out to sea.

Ask a Latter-day Saint therapist: How do I manage grief while looking forward to eternity?

By Jonathan Decker, LMFT

While knowledge of the plan of salvation provides comfort and hope, the absence of someone loved is deeply felt. And it’s good to feel it, even if it doesn’t feel good. How can we best manage those feelings?

Sister Nelson's 4 ways to focus on the Savior every day

By LDS Living Staff

This excerpt originally ran on LDS Living in December 2019.

The ‘Lamb of God’ composer calls Peter and Judas ‘interesting foils’ of each other. Here’s why

We weren’t there in the Garden of Gethsemane and we weren’t there by the Garden Tomb when the Savior rose again. We also weren’t present when the Father and the Son appeared to the boy Joseph Smith or when key characters from Church history met each other for the first time. We have studied these stories and heard them countless times, so it may be easy for us to feel like we know exactly what happened, why people reacted the way they did, or made the choices they did. But there is so much we don’t know.
