People inadvertently replace Christ with what He did. They speak about the Atonement and “the power of the Atonement” as though it were an independent resource. The One who is Christ will intervene, not the Atonement; He will stand between us and justice; He will offset our mistakes because of His Atonement, but He will hold us guiltless. He does that. There is no “power of the Atonement” separate...

Why will not all join the Church and faithfully live the gospel during the Millennium? And what about on the other side of the veil? Won’t everyone get on board there? Why do people fall away today? Why do we not do all we believe today? Why do we sin knowing better? In the end, it is a matter of will—not faith, not belief, not even knowledge, all of which are essential, but in the end it’s a matt...

Because of sin, all die spiritually, cut off from the presence of God. Jesus Christ alone bridges that awful gap. Because of Him you can be born again, you can receive God’s greatest gifts: the gift of His Spirit and the gift of His life, by the gift of His Son. Jesus Christ is the Life. There is a hole in every heart, caused by separation from God. Much of what we do is touched by a hazy, almost...

There are two critical dimensions to Christ as the Life. He is the Resurrection (victory over physical death) and the Life (victory over spiritual death). The promise of the resurrection is a glorious promise of a bright future, but no more glorious than the blessing of the human body in the first place. You can’t fully appreciate the wonder of resurrection without appreciating the wonder of the b...

Isaiah 58–66 takes us on a sweeping journey from fasting and Sabbath worship to the coming Messiah, the redemption of Zion, and visions of a restored heaven and earth. In this powerful concluding section of Isaiah, we discover that covenant belonging is about far more than ancestry—it is reflected in how we turn to God, keep His covenants, care for othe...

Can anyone know the truth and if so, how? How do you close the gap between your beliefs and the truth? How can you discern between truth and error? How can you avoid deception? Having considered both the scientific method of experience and the analytical method of reason, today we turn our attention to the last two methods, study or the academic method and revelation or the divine method. The acad...

Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on earth? The Church could have lost its way and divine approval since it was organized in 1830. It wouldn’t be the first time; in fact, it is the pattern of history. Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” So, let’s look at some of the fruits. Christ is the center, the chief cornerstone of His Church. Priesthood autho...

Pick almost any scripture from the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price, and ask yourself if they read like the words of deceit, lunacy, or God. Joseph Smith said, “…that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.” Following the...
