Sione Havili: One Choice That Changed Everything

In October 1998, Sione Havili’s future looked incredibly bright. Earlier that year, he had signed a letter of intent to play football at BYU and was preparing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New York City. But in a single moment, everything changed. A decision to take part in an act of retaliation tied to gang violence would alter the course of Sione’s life forever.

5 Reasons Mormons Should Learn About Other Religions

By LDS Perspectives

This post is in no way meant to disprove or invalidate the importance of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the earth today but to help members find ways to be more inclusive and loving toward our brothers and sisters who are part of other religions. Sometimes as members of the Church, we become so focused on our knowledge and beliefs that we forget that we can still learn from others.

14: "I Am He Who Liveth, I Am He Who Was Slain" (Easter)

Have you ever heard of the Lectures on Faith? Maybe you’ve read them a million times, maybe you remember a vague reference to them in seminary, or maybe you’ve never heard of them at all. If you fall into any of those categories, this week's episode is for you. Because what better way to celebrate Christ’s life and Resurrection this Easter week than to study the attributes and characteristics of Deity? So make sure to grab some paper and a pen as we study the sacred attributes of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as taught in the Lectures on Faith.

35: “Be Perfectly Joined Together” (1 Corinthians 1–7)

Have you ever been afraid that you don’t have what it takes? Maybe you were just extended a new calling and feel way over your head. Or maybe you’ve received an impression to serve a mission and think you aren’t spiritual enough or smart enough for the task. Well in 1 Corinthians 1–7, we learn that we are exactly the kind of enough that God can work with, and with Him we can become more than we ever could imagine on our own.

D&C 46-48: Best Gifts

The early Church didn’t have manuals or study guides—they didn’t even have enough copies of the Book of Mormon to go around. But what they did have was ongoing revelation. Doctrine and Covenants 42–56 deal with organizing the Church better, resolving disputes between members, and combating deception. You could almost say these sections are like the earliest General Handbook for the Church. Sections 46–48 contain doctrine so vital to the organization of Christ’s Church that we still rely on it today.

What the Media Got Wrong About Elder Bednar's Comments on Gay Members

By LDS Living Staff

What was meant to be a loving, encouraging remark to homosexual members within the Church has quickly been twisted, pulled out of context, and cut up by members of the media, making it appear as if Elder Bednar and the other leaders of the Church are anything but loving and supportive of its members.
