Miracles can seem few and far between (pardon the cliche). We all know life is rough, and that things often don’t go the way we want them to. Even when we ask God to give us the miracle we’re looking for. But in the New Testament, Jesus performed loads of miracles. Every place He went, […]

What’s So Bad About Satan’s Plan?
Growing up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I heard a lot about “the war in heaven,” in other words, Satan refusing to follow God, convincing other children of God to follow him instead, and all of them being tossed out of heaven. As a child, I was always taught that the […]
Making Changes With God’s Help
Are you ever frustrated with the progress, or rather, lack of progress you make in your life? It’s tiring sometimes to look at the things you know you need to fix in your life and realize that you’ve been working on them for a long time – only to find that you’ve hardly improved. Those […]
No One Gets a Free Pass From Judgment
I’ve talked a lot on this blog about how we aren’t perfect beings. We’re human, we mess up, that’s life, and that’s why Christ did the Atonement. We can make mistakes, learn from them, and become better than we were. But now I want to make sure that something is clear – when I say […]
How God’s Infinite Love Reaches Everyone
So last week I talked about how we are God’s children – we can choose to believe that or not, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a fact. But what, other than our perspective, is changed by knowing that we are God’s children? And does He really love all of His children? ALL […]
You Can’t Change Who You Are
Think about the last time you cooked an egg. Maybe you hard-boiled it and turned it into egg salad. Or you fried it so you could dip toast and bacon into the yolk. You might have scrambled the egg, or mixed the egg into brownie batter or cookie dough. When you cooked this egg, you […]
People Who Stood for Christ and How You Can Too
We’ve all heard stories of people who stood for Christ through their whole lives. People like prophets, martyrs, pioneers, even family members, all who willingly made sacrifices, struggled through seemingly impossible circumstances, and changed their lives to follow Christ. What is it about these people that helped them to continue forward, even facing death and […]
7 Tips for Studying Christ in Your Scriptures
I think we all have our favorite ways of studying the scriptures. But sometimes, after I’ve been studying the scriptures one way for a while, I want to try something new. I’ve been thinking of new ways to approach scripture study lately, and I’ve come up with some ideas. I’ve centered these ideas around studying […]
Christ’s Sacrifice and Ours
I don’t know about you, but I am really good at thinking about all the ways I need to change to be a better person. All the things I am bad at, or mess up, or quit. These things pile up in my head, and it can be pretty hard to get rid of them. […]
8 Ways to Show Your Love for Christ
Earlier this week, I came across an invitation to think of ways I could show more love for Christ. My first thoughts were, of course, to pray, read my scriptures, go to church, take the Sacrament, and go to the temple. You know, the things we talk about a lot in church. But after those […]
