Beautiful

So beautifully articulated. I so agree and am so grateful for President Holland.

I have seen this in my life.

No interest in reading the Book of Mormon, but curious if it actually does talk about Jesus? 10 verses you can read in less than a minute: #bookofmormon Art: Leon Devenice

Amen brother!!

I probably need to frame this #GeneralConference | @StevensonGaryE

I’m not sure I’ve ever craved the messages of general conference more than I do right now. I cannot wait to be instructed and edified by prophets, seers and revelators.

Such a beautiful and perfect start to General Conference.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.. Stay strong and keep going!! We know what we believe! Let’s keep making the world a better place and help the world prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ! Let your light shine!

Oh how this man, Prophet and Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ blessed my life!!

Here’s the full address just delivered by Utah’s @GovCox . It is, quite honestly, one of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever heard from a politician, or anyone, for that matter. Please sit down for 10 minutes and listen. You won’t regret it, I promise.

I see a lot of people on the app saying they are praying for the first time or in a long time and are thinking about Christianity. I’d encourage you to contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint’s missionaries. They can teach you how to pray and teach you about Jesus Christ and his gospel! Check out churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng to learn more! We cannot conquer evil without Jesus Christ! Let’s come together with a focus on Jesus Christ!

As we enter in this new year, let us prepare for an Easter celebration of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ culminating in His Resurrection—the most glorious event in history—and contemplate our own future resurrection. How grateful I am for the profound meaning of the universal Resurrection, which is made possible by the great plan and the boundless love of God the Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. #GreaterLove

I love this and agree.

@StatueOfWhitt @cnicol49 @ToddBGolf @InkedCougar @laceandrus @lasersheep When we got out of the car there were 3 Utah fans sitting by their car, I suspect they were the ones who left us the present. That being said, as we were cleaning them off, other Utah fans walked by, stopped to help us and apologized and said, "not all of us are like that".

@StatueOfWhitt @cnicol49 @ToddBGolf @InkedCougar @laceandrus @lasersheep Thank you!! I was at the game in Royal, up in one of the suites and everyone I encountered was total class. I did get to my car (which is a non descript rental with Montana plates) and as we got back to our car, we had 14 smashed beer cans left on our windshield.

@jaredadairbell Amen!!

Russian historian visited the US studying the history of great Americans and American institutions. One journalist asked him: “In your study of great Americans…which of them do you consider to be the greatest?” He answered, “You have only had one truly great American, one man who gave to the world ideas that could change the whole destiny of the human race—Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet.” Leo Tolstoy, the Russian historian, later reported: “The Mormon people teach the American religion; their principles teach the people not only of Heaven and its attendant glories, but how to live so that their social and economic relations with each other are placed on a sound basis. If the people follow the teachings of this Church, nothing can stop their progress—it will be limitless. There have been great movements started in the past but they have died or been modified before they reached maturity. If Mormonism is able to endure, unmodified, until it reaches the third and fourth generation, it is destined to become the greatest power the world has ever known.”

The wisdom of youth. 💯

Unless we see all the meaning and joy of Christmas—the whole of Christ’s life, His profound mission, the end as well as the beginning—then Christmas will be just another day off work with food and fun and festivities. The true meaning—the unique, joyous meaning—of the birth of Jesus Christ was not confined to those first hours in Bethlehem but would be realized in the life He would lead and in His death, in His triumphant atoning sacrifice, and in His prison-bursting Resurrection. These are the realities that make Christmas joyful. This year, let us remember the greatest gift ever given: the Atonement and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
