What Part of Imperfect Do We Not Understand?

0

We, as committed Latter-day Saints, are just as mortal as everyone else on the planet. We are prone to fear, codependency, doubt, worry, sin, and all the other beliefs and behaviors that lead to addiction and compulsion. When we find ourselves in these negative states, we are just as quick to turn to the material […]

The Direction of Perfection

0

Could it be that in order to move in the direction of ultimate perfection—toward God, Godliness, Godhood—I must accept myself as being right where I need to be at this moment? In other words, before I can move forward, I need to accept myself just as I am. I need to let go of the […]

What Great Things the Lord Hath Done

1

This morning, as I was gleaning and capturing quotes from the Title Page of the Book of Mormon, I came across the phrase, “what great things the Lord hath done.” I desire with all my heart to do all that the Lord opens the way for me to do to invite and encourage the Saints […]

May We Always Remember Him

0

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. (Luke 2:49-50) This verse, if translated correctly, would seem to indicate that Mary and Joseph had sort of forgotten the Divine […]

The Dichotomy of Worthiness

0

How can the truth be both blunt and sharp at the same time? How can it be the hardest thing to hear and yet the only thing that is going to save your life? And how do you get the courage to admit that kind of two-edged truth to yourself and to others? Only from […]

The Pain or the Purpose

0

We have to accept that life is a battle between two forces—the Truth and the Lie; Christ and the Liar. That’s just the way it is. The tug and pull, the on-again-off-again phenomenon is inevitable. We must also accept that we have no ability to determine the ratio of easy days to not-so-easy days. We […]

Adequate Is Sufficient

0

Now I, Chemish, write what few things I write…And I make an end (Omni 1:9). Wow! One verse! Chemish only wrote one verse. Why? Why would the Lord even want to include in Mormon’s abridgement efforts, in Joseph’s translation efforts, in our study efforts, the existence, much less the words, of a man who wrote only one verse? For […]

God’s Condescension Takes Us Off the Hook

1

The thoughts that are coming to me, flooding through my own journaling and counseling with the Lord this morning, are thoughts about God’s patience and humility—and how long it has taken me to begin to comprehend it. I know I’ve posted about this before, but this is a message that I could stand to hear […]
