Brothers and sisters, have you ever stopped and just marveled at how insanely generous our Heavenly Father is?
Moses 1:39 hits different every single time:
“For behold, this is my work and my glory - to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”
Immortality? Check.
Eternal life? Check.
The actual potential to become like Him?
YEP. That’s the plan.
And He didn’t leave us guessing - He restored the fullness through living prophets and the Book of Mormon so we wouldn’t have to wander around with half the truth.
If you’ve only heard about the @Ch_JesusChrist from critics or secondhand takes…stop. Go straight to the source. Read the Book of Mormon for yourself. Pray about it like Moroni 10:4-5 says. Ask God if it’s true.
Because this isn’t just “another Christian denomination.”
This is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ - and it’s the greatest news in the universe.
Who’s with me? Drop a 🙌 if you’re flooding X with truth today.

"The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become.”

President Harold B Lee tells us what to read if what to know what will happen in the last days:
There are among us many loose writings predicting the calamities which are about to overtake us. Some of these have been publicized as though they were necessary to wake up the world to the horrors about to overtake us. Many of these are from sources upon which there cannot be unquestioned reliance. Are you priesthood bearers aware of the fact that we need no such publications to be forewarned, if we were only conversant with what the scriptures have already spoken to us in plainness? Let me give you the sure word of prophecy on which you should rely for your guide instead of these strange sources which may have great political implications. Read the 24th chapter of Matthew, particularly that inspired version as contained in the Pearl of Great Price. (JS-M 1.) Then read the 45th section of the Doctrine and Covenants where the Lord, not man, has documented the signs of the times. [D&C 45] Now turn to section 101 and section 133 of the Doctrine and Covenants and hear the step-by-step recounting of events leading up to the coming of the Savior. [D&C 101; D&C 133] Finally, turn to the promises the Lord makes to those who keep the commandments when these judgments descend upon the wicked, as set forth in the Doctrine and Covenants, section 38. [D&C 138] Brethren, these are some of the writings with which you should concern yourselves, rather than commentaries that may come from those whose information may not be the most reliable and whose motives may be subject to question.
It’s Latter-day Saint Doctrine that there are worlds without number.
Another lucky guess by Joseph Smith.

The Book of Mormon contains the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It was translated by the gift and power of God.
Even though Joseph Smith didn't have much formal education he dictated the entire 500-plus page complex narrative in a stunningly short window of about 65 to 75 working days between April and June of 1829.
He didn't use any notes or a library; he just dictated straight to scribes like Oliver Cowdery. He didn’t ask for the last word or sentence to be read back to him.
No other author has ever replicated this feat, making Joseph Smith either a literary savant or a prophet.
There are the 11 official witnesses (plus several unofficial ones like Emma Smith and Mary Whitmer) who stood by their testimonies for the rest of their lives, even when some of them had major falling-outs with Joseph later on.
Eight of those witnesses testified they didn't just "see" the plates in a vision, but actually handled and "hefted" them, describing their weight (about 40–60 lbs) and the metallic sound the pages made.
From a literary standpoint, scholars have pointed out complex ancient Hebrew poetic structures like chiasmus (inverted parallelism) and specific place names like Nahom in the Arabian Peninsula that actually match up with archaeological finds today.
When you place the rapid translation, the consistent witness accounts, and the unexpected alignments with ancient geography side by side, the idea that Joseph Smith simply fabricated the whole thing becomes far harder to sustain.
There’s a reason.
Joseph Smith said, “I told the brethren 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 by any other book.”
All those facts are interesting enough, but they are not what helps people know the truthfulness of it.
You can find out for yourself by simply asking God if it’s true with the intent of following His answer.

This is DNA replication.
Nine molecular machines working in precise coordination.
Remove just one, and the entire system collapses—life becomes impossible.
For me, this level of order inspires awe in God’s design.
Love it when people stumble onto Latter-day Saint theology without realizing it.

One tiny cell of your DNA stores 3 billion letters of code, that’s enough information to fill about a thousand books.
DNA is stored so compactly and efficiently that if we unraveled all the DNA in your body it would stretch to Pluto and back.
When a cell divides and the DNA is copied, there are almost zero mistakes… only 1 per billion* digits. That’s like copying the entire encyclopedia Britannica hundreds of times without a single mistake.
I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.
Do you?
Kevin Johnson played 38 games for the Eagles / Raiders for 3 years, and still did not qualify for Pension from the NFL.
Meanwhile Robert Goodell makes more $ in 1 day than Kevin made an entire year! Can you afford pension for former players Bob or just let em die broke?

I cherish this tender moment of then BYU President Holland and I after the last game of my Senior year. His example changed my life.

HEY LDSX.....I have a challenge for you 🚨
Let's start fulfilling the prophecies of Joseph Smith & Ezra Taft Benson to be
"the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and [we] shall bear the Constitution away from the verge of destruction.”

What does Kolob have to do with space-time? Read more below 👇
Facsimile 2, which was part of the papyri purchased by Saints in Kirtland that led to the Book of Abraham, is a hypocephalas which would go under the head of a deceased person, helping them to know the path to take in the next life.
Joseph's inspired translation of the figures brings both wonder and criticism. Critics argue that because the translations don't match what the figures say according to their translations, that it means Joseph was not a true prophet, or at least that the Book of Abraham is fraudulent.
Apologists have many varying views, and egyptologists, such as Kerry Muhlestein, have found many incredible points where Joseph got some things right that nobody knew about in the 1800s.
For me, I know the Book of Abraham is God's word. I trust in time we will know all the answers for the difficult questions the Book raises.
But check this out!
The first figure translated is known as Kolob, a type of Christ. Here is the translation:
"Fig. 1. Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh."
Focus in on this sentence: "The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit."
A cubit, as you know, is an ancient measurement from the elbow to the fingertips. (I'll let you endowed members chew on that).
Time is measured typically in units of seconds, minutes, days, and hours.
Here, Joseph translates that Celestial time equates a day (time unit) to a cubit (length unit). "Spacetime" if you will. Or the measurement of time and length that is combined, like a "lightyear."
Well here's the thing. Spacetime as a concept was discovered in 1908 by mathematician Hermann Minkowski who built off of Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity.
Coincidence? Unlikely. Especially with all of the other "perfect guesses" made by Joseph Smith.
I'm no scientist or egyptologist, but I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. The Book of Abraham is God's word. The facsimiles reveal incredible knowledge that we have only begun to unlock.
Don't discount the Book of Abraham, embrace it. Don't let the fools who mock win, for they shall mourn.

For those Americans who think this madness only exists “over there” in some 3rd world place and it will never come to America, you’re wrong (please listen to @laralogan ‘s video below).
Many American service men have sacrificed their lives for our country to help these people out of their misery, especially young girls and women.
If we don’t snap out of our self complacency and apathy, the Islamic-fascist mindset will rapidly creep into America and its allied axis of resistance (or otherwise called, an Unholy Alliance) complete with direct ties to communist China and other subversive communist elements will suddenly emerge as our masters.
Courage is a decision. Make the decision to be courageous and get involved as citizens in your communities. These are NOT racist words (which I’ll be accused of), these are words of someone who has deeply studied and stood and fought the enemies of America overseas for many years, only to find out the greatest enemy I would face was right here at home.
The truth hurts but it is high time we start being brutally honest as a nation and as Americans.
As MLK Jr stated; “The God whom we worship is not a weak and incompetent God. He is able to beat back gigantic waves of opposition and, to bring low prodigious mountains of evil. The ringing testimony of the Christian faith is that God is able.”
Americans need to regain the moral high ground!
AMERICA FIRST!
President Trump's decision to designate Nigeria a "Country of Particular Concern" is monumental. My film below from 2021 shows why, documenting the genocide of Christians that the world never saw because the truth has been hidden from them.
