President Russell M. Nelson: When Overcoming Temptation Seems Impossible

In this world, each day is a day of decision. President Thomas S. Monson has taught us that “decisions determine destiny.” The wise use of your freedom to make your own decisions is crucial to your spiritual growth, now and for eternity.

Each day brings opportunity for decisions that will affect our eternity.

Why a Mormon is perfectly suited to be president

Earlier, we published an op-ed from a contributor entitled "Why I Don't Think A Mormon Should Be President." The author argued that because Mormonism encourages a divinely inspired personal view of morality and truth Mormons don't separate church from state.

Our history is complicated, but consistently we have proved loyal to the United States of America.
