SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Mosiah 4:20-30 | |
And finally, I cannot tell you all the things whereby ye may commit sin; for there are divers ways and means, even so many that I cannot number them. But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not. Click Here! | |

QUOTE OF THE DAY Russell M. Nelson | |
“My dear brothers and sisters, the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety. Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater. I plead with you to take a prayerful look at how you spend your time. Invest time in your future and in that of your family. If you have reasonable access to a temple, I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy house—then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples” (“Becoming Exemplary Latter-day Saints,” October 2018 General Conference).

1827 - The Prophet Joseph Smith receives the gold plates, with the Urim and Thummim and breastplate, from the Angel Moroni at the Hill Cumorah. His wife Emma went with him and stayed in the wagon while Joseph went after the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated.

A Man that Can Translate: Joseph Smith and the Nephite Interpreters by Jonathan Neville MS, This is the first book to explain the new "demonstration" narrative, which reconciles the stone-in-the-hat (SITH) testimony with the Urim and Thummim testimony. The evidence shows that while Joseph Smith translated the golden plates with the Urim and Thummim, he also conducted a demonstration for his supporters in the Whitmer home in Fayette. These separate activities led to the variety of witness statements that have caused so much confusion over the years. The demonstration narrative makes sense of all the available historical evidence in a way that corroborates the long-term teachings of the prophets about the translation. Click Here! | |
