Dear Dave,

President Ballard to Women: "We Should Not Question Each Other’s Choices or Inspiration"

"Women have remarkable influence," President M. Russell Ballard recently posted on Instagram. "You sisters have been divinely endowed with a unique kind of discernment and strength that differs in some ways from the gifts our Heavenly Father gave His sons. These differences are intentional and eternal. They don’t make you better than a man, nor do they make you inferior to him. They just make you different—wonderfully, deliberately, everlastingly so."

Why Love Is a Form of Dying + 3 More Insights the Savior Teaches Us About Love

By Adam S. Miller

To say that the law can only be fulfilled by Christ is to say that the law can only be fulfilled by love. Love is the point of the law. “All the law and the prophets” hang on this imperative to love (Matthew 22:40). Without love, the law comes unplugged from Christ. It stops functioning as a type and leaves me hopeless. When, instead of love, the law generates fear, anger, guilt, envy, and frustration, then the law is broken. A loveless law is a broken law. A loveless law is a law incapable of mercy or justice. A loveless law is an occasion for selfishness, pride, and hypocrisy.

Temples are making news

According to the website Google Insights, Internet searches for the word "Mormon" worldwide are at their highest level since late in 2007, when interest in Mitt Romney's religion during his 2008 campaign was at its peak. Volume is 88 percent of what it was at that peak. Doubtless, much of the current interest comes from the Broadway play "The Book of Mormon," the musical. (For those who haven't heard, this play isn't family friendly and, I believe, would offend most Mormons for its sacrilegious tone.)

What Gets Teens into Genealogy?

This weekend youth from the Klein Champions area in Houston chose to get up early on a Saturday morning to do something unusual. After meeting for an early morning breakfast at the home of 16-year Rylan Hair in Spring, youth ranging in ages from 12 to 18 went as a group to the Family History Library at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Klein Road to search out names of ancestors.

{Poll} Going to the Temple

By LDS Living

President Gordon B. Hinckley famously focused on temples – helping them to grow in number from 46 to 124 in his presidency alone. He also asked that Church membership try to get to the temple a little more often. President Thomas S. Monson has continued this focus on temples and temple building, and today there are a vastly larger number of temples for church membership (140 dedicated, 14 more under construction, and an additional 14 announced). But temples are still sometimes hours, even days, from many church members. So we're curious – how often do you get to the temple?

Mormon with rare skin disease paints, sings and reachs out to others

Imagine being a child with a condition where you are as fragile as a butterfly's wings. On the outside, physical wounds prevent you from normal daily activities enjoyed by other children. Yet on the inside, your dreams are the same as any other child who loves, plays, learns and grows despite the pain and impediment caused by your condition. This is what Jamie Hartley, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Alpine, went through during her childhood, and she continues to live with her condition.
