Latter-Day Saint

Sins committed by members and church leaders at any level Do not change the fact that the Church is true It only shows their weakness And anyone who leaves because of their actions Only shows their own weaknesses

Congrats to BYU with their win over Notre Dame! Let’s see how high you rank tomorrow? 3? 2? Or even Number 1?

Sad story. A man who was an alcoholic and drug addict got clean, became completely sober, and even became the leader of the local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter, helping many others through to recovery. He joined the church and married a nice woman, and together they raised 3 children in a happy, mixed-marriage family. Things were going well. He spoke at Stake Conference. He had a great calling and was admired by many. They were sealed in the Temple, and life was good. Then he got into a motorcycle accident. He was pretty beat up but was able to attend church with a cast and some visible scrapes. But something was wrong. He was in a lot of pain. It wasn't long before he returned to drugs. His wife had laid down the rules when they married, and those rules were now broken. She filed for divorce and moved out. No one has seen him since. Drugs and alcohol have destroyed more people than just about anything. I wish he were the only person I know to whom this has happened. Never try them, even once. I know that through the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ, he can be healed again, and I pray that he will find his way back. She left him because it didn't look like he was going to make it back. But I know that God will never give up on him, even though his wife did. I pray he will try again. God will never give up on you either. Just turn to him, no matter what you have done. He is there and wants to help you!

I’m surprised so many people are having such a hard time with the No Gambling talk given at #LDSGenConf2026. It’s basic doctrine. But it’s easy to spot who is already addicted and don’t like the reminder.

Did I miss something? I thought there was going to be the first part of a video series shown right after conference. What happened?

We are truly becoming a Worldwide church as I never remember this many speakers from other countries during #GeneralConference

All those big tall buildings with fountains, fancy food and shows in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City were all built on donations. 😁 I recommend we follow the advice of @ChristoffDTodd and not get involved in Gambling. I have seen hundreds of people suffering that addiction. #GeneralConference

Watching the powerful testimony of Elder Sikahema reminds me of how hard he played on the BYU Football team years ago as we attended school at the same time. What a great man. #GeneralConference

I love watching #GeneralConference and learning from the Prophets and Apostles on the earth today. I testify that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God’s only true church on the earth today. The Book of Mormon is true!

A friend and his wife recently returned from serving as Mission Leaders. He told me that the number one reason Senior Missionaries don’t serve is: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Having to leave their Pet. Is not the eternal salvation of dozens or hundreds or possibly thousands of souls more valuable than their pet? We will all be judged by our actions and decisions.

Peace is the most valuable thing on the planet right now because it is so rare. But it can be found in the Temple and I can testify of that.

I’ve been serving in the temple on Thursday nights for the last four years and truly enjoyed it. But lately I’ve been going on Friday nights with my wife to do a session and some other ordinances. The peace I feel afterward is astonishing. President Oaks was right about the Temple! Go as often as you can, and I promise that peace will be with you too. Peace right now is the most valuable thing in the world because it’s so rare.

Here is an excellent discussion worth 17 minutes of your time.

It’s so great to meet God’s chosen Apostles.

A man in his 70s gave his testimony on Sunday. He had gone through 22 sets of Missionaries until finally last Easter, on Thursday during the week, he had a powerful dream, where he saw a bright light, and a voice said to him, “I am real. You need to believe in me.” He woke up and told his wife that it was time for him to get baptized.

FTI-I’m super proud of my Pioneer ancestors and what they accomplished. They faced obstacles that hardly anyone today understands and anyone who judges their actions by today’s “standards” is not seeing them the way God does. Thank You Pioneers!

This is such great news! Hooray for the sisters! Hooray for the world! Hooray for the continued building of the Kingdom of God! deseret.com/faith/2026/07/14…

FYI-I’m not much on X anymore because it doesn’t take long while scrolling before all I see are violent videos of all kinds of things. I don’t want to see them. I don’t know why they think that will keep me here because it doesn’t. Anyone know how to fix this?
