The Book of Mormon

I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon!  I have read it, and I have felt the Spirit testify to me.  I know that it is God's word.  It contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel.  I know that by the gift and power of God, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon.  It is another testament of Jesus Christ.  The only way to know if it is true is to read it and pray about it.  If you want to know if it is true, find out yourself!  

Believe Him

Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount taught, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?  Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"(Matthew 7: 7-11).  The power and importance of prayer is just one of many things that the Lord Has taught us.  A question that I would like to bring up for us to ask ourselves is: do I believe Him?  There is a difference between believing in Him and believing Him.  Do we believe Him?

Worth of a Soul

"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;"(Doctrine and Covenants 18: 10).  How great we may ask?  It is so great that He gave His life for all of us.  "For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him.  And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of repentance.  And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth!"(Doctrine and Covenants 18: 11-13).

Basketball Playoffs

Basketball playoffs, here is where champions are born.  Who will rise or fall under the pressure?  It is where all is left on the court.  The battles on the hardwood.  The fans are loud.  Best of 7, every game counts.  Teamwork, defense, fundamentals, who wants it more?  A lot can be said, but what happens in the games is what counts.  The teams that have made it have proved themselves throughout the season, but what they do now is what counts the most.  Forget the season, they now have to perform.
