What True Worship Looks Like by Autumn Dickson I have been thinking a lot about what it means to worship God lately. It keeps popping up through random little avenues in my life.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay by Autumn Dickson In Moses 7, Enoch watched some of the most devastating events in human history. He watched the earth be traumatized. He watched violence and the consequent justice of God. There was death and abundant evil. I’m not sure I want to see the vision that Enoch […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Moses 7 – Part 2 – Autumn Dickson appeared first on FA...

The vision of Enoch in Moses 7 bridges the gap between ancient scripture and modern disciplehip. This chapter shows that scholarship and disciplehip are not separate pursuits and invites us to build Zion in the ordinary choices we make every day.

The Power of a Spiritual Record by Autumn Dickson I’ve given this message before, and I’ll probably give this message again someday. This message has been repeated so frequently throughout scripture so I figure it’s not the end of the world if I repeat it too.

Not Meant to Be Alone by Autumn Dickson The world is so confused. The more I learn about the gospel and the more I observe the world, the more I’m amazed at how lost the world is.

If God is so Powerful, Why Didn’t He Just Stop Their Enemies? by Autumn Dickson I want to share something from the Official Declaration 1, the declaration that ended the practice of polygamy in the latter-days.

When Things Feel Unfair, Remember This About Christ’s Atonement by Autumn Dickson In the past, I have shied away from talking about the Official Declarations, not because I don’t believe what’s in them, but because I feel that there are an immense number of people who can speak on those subjects with more knowledge, wisdom, […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – The Articles of Faith and O...
