Each member of the Church must build a deep faith in Christ, Elder M. Russell Ballard and Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles told members in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua during recent assignments in Central America. Along with other Church leaders, they counseled members to strengthen their families through prayer, scripture study, temple service, family home evening, observance of the Sabbath day, obedience to the Lord’s commandments, and sharing their faith with those around them.

Leaving a general conference session a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a demonstrator holding a sign announcing that Joseph Smith had "lied." Now, I don't buy this for a second.

It is hard to count the ways religion benefits society. Intangibles are what faith does best. Churches invigorate communities through local associations of support. Differences in religious worldviews enrich our common existence. Voices of moral conscience hold us to our highest ideals. And the dignity of our relationships toward one another is bolstered by human rights and religious freedom. Behind this lies the unique responsibility of the believer. People of faith contribute to society because of their obligation to God and conscience, not out of privilege, superiority or reward. The mettle of religious conviction is tested by how we respond to suffering.

Write as neutral analysts or as well-versed believers? A year after the two sides publicly parted company over the direction of the Mormon Studies Review, each group has launched its own writings, with separate boards of editors and mission statements.
A history-making new temple in Rome has senior Latter-day Saint leaders making some extraordinary history of their own.
At age 19, Mitt Romney was a typical college student, schmoozing about politics, pulling pranks and sneaking away to see his girlfriend. Then he went on a 30-month Mormon mission in France. He returned to the U.S. in 1968 ready to start a family, steeped in his faith and eager for more responsibility in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
An article in today’s CNN Belief Blog emboldened me. For those I am about to offend, I apologize. I hope you will only pass judgement on me, and not upon the other subjects of this article. Although I don’t know him personally, I hold Manti Te’o in the highest of regard. I feel compelled to share a bit on how I’ve come to this feeling, and what this amazing young Mormon man has taught me about my own beliefs during this Year of Faith.
