So grateful to hear a prophets voice on this important topic!

Super excited for the Salt Lake Temple open house. I wondered if the tour would include the Holy of Holies. We'll the First Presidency just toured the temple (before next year's open house) and here they are viewing the Holy of Holies!

Anyone else loving the new Church focus, of announcing additional temples in the areas where they will be built?

Another podcaster took the challenge to talk with a Latter-day Saint instead of just talking about us. Is the tide turning? Get equipped (1 Pet 3:15)
There is a significant contrast between Protestant Calvinism and the restored Gospel in its views on salvation. We take seriously Jesus notion that in his fathers house are many mansions

While each of us may have answered some of these questions differently, it is nice to see someone talking with "a Mormon" instead of talking about us!

NEW RELEASE: What Do Mormons Believe? Did Jesus visit the Americas after the Resurrection? In this episode of Theological, host @ShabbosK sits down with Santa Clarita stake president Michael Stanley of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to discuss the Book of Mormon’s most surprising claims—and answers the biggest misconceptions about Mormonism.

Let me get this straight, California is found with horrible fraud abuse among their immigrant population, and the Legislators actions are to create a Bill to make it harder for citizen journalists to contact them! Sounds like Helaman 6:20-24

The Nauvoo Legion was a necessary and misunderstood part of Church History by detractors. The authors provided a great service putting together this volume.

The First Presidency has written a letter requesting a religious fast of gratitude for religious liberty on July 5, 2026. In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. "The God of this land, Jesus Christ" Ether 2:8-12 thechurchnews.com/leaders/20…

Praying for those in the Iran conflict. W. Kimball's talk "The false God's We Worship" changed my worldview, and is consistent with the BoM and D&C. "We are a warlike people, easily distracted from our assignment of preparing for the coming of the Lord." churchofjesuschrist.org/stud…

It has been announced, the San Diego Temple open house will be June 18-July 11. Honestly I am shocked it will only be open for a month. But I hear there is a way to go in after the dedication is complete!

Looks like @ThoughtfulSaint is willing to set the record straight on the question of Mormons as atheist. Does @realDailyWire have the integrity to correct the slander it's newest host @RealMattFradd committed against the Latter-day Saints? @benshapiro did you hire a Candice 2.0?
Hey @RealMattFradd I think you might owe it to me to be able to come on and address the claim that Mormons are atheists. That’s a bold thing to assert on a major platform like the @realDailyWire without allowing us to give our side of the story. Reach out to me. I’d be happy to come on. Retweet if you agree.

Elder Clark Gilbert our newest Apostle, 55 years of age, and a Church commissioner of education. Very interesting.

Someone asked why Satan would tempt Eve, since it would start God's plan. Below is a short study on why. Moses 4:6 Satan doesn't know God's mind. 2Ne. 2:22 Adam would remain blissful in Eden. 2Ne. 2:27 Satan wants us miserable like him. Alma 42:5 is how he'd frustrate God's plan.

Millions shall know Brother Joseph again!
Learn why a portrait of Joseph Smith Jr., president and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was unveiled at the historically Black Morehouse College and where the painting will hang.

This cannot be true. But if it is, it would explain a lot about the Minnesota Secret Combinations.
A plaque from the Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers is being displayed at the MN state capitol, thanking Gov Tim Walz for allowing the spread of Satanism. "Satan has a special place for you." Democrats are the party of the devil.

We all have a tendency to blend the gospel to meet our perceptions. I do not believe most politicians meet my faith ideals (even Romney fell short). The below distorts the gospel, and I wonder if there is a place to discuss these differences, or is there only debate?
Dear Grandchildren, Someday when you are older and studying U.S. History, you may wonder how your grandfather felt about political issues during the Trump administration. Well, I wanted you to know: 1. I did not vote for Trump (and I have voted for Republicans presidents in the past and haven’t ruled out voting for a Republican in the future). While there are some elements of the Republican platform that I support, Trump is the opposite of everything I believe. He is the closest example to King Noah in the Book of Mormon of any political leader in my lifetime. Like the people in King Noah’s day, many were blinded by him even though he probably helped some—but eventually saw King Noah for who he really was. As a country, I hope we can do the same with Trump. 2. Further, I worry that Trump's influence on future generations will be more destructive than his presidency. I believe he is teaching people (especially younger individuals searching for a role model of “success”) to adopt tactics such as lying, gaslighting, being unfaithful, dishonest, unkind, not taking responsibility, and creating fear about groups of people where no fear should exist. I hope and pray that others will step forward to be better role models and follow our ultimate role model—Jesus Christ. 3. In spite of all this, I was relieved that Trump survived his assassination attempt, as I felt it would have led to further violence and hate. Trump—like every member of the human family—is a child of Heavenly Parents and my spiritual brother. No one should be killed. 4. I do not support ICE. I am heartbroken that ICE “law enforcement” goes around in masks and can detain people without due process and in such violent and aggressive ways. Renee Nicole Good should be alive today. So many good people are living in fear—and it breaks my heart. That being said, I support our law enforcement officers working within established laws to maintain law and order. 5. My heart hurts for the way we are treating transgender people—perhaps best articulated by the heartbreaking words of Levi Martin (a transgender young man who died by suicide at age 17 in Dec 2022) in his suicide note "I am terrified how we treat transgender people." My trans friends are some of the finest individuals I know, contributing to society in so many ways. I formed my opinions about trans people by being with and listening to them—not from loud voices trying to gain a fear-based following by demonizing them. Jesus gained a following not on fear—but by love to everyone—especially those on the margins. As I study world history, I see a pattern where we sometimes create community around the fear of others (ethnic minorities, religious minorities, sexual minorities, immigration status, etc.) leading to painful chapters in world history (Holocaust, Bosnian War, Native American Removal, Salem witch trials, etc). I believe are making the same mistake today regarding transgender people. I will continue to do all I can to love and support my trans friends. Please don’t fall into the “trap of unearned opinions.” Learn about trans people—from trans people. 6. I stopped watching cable news. I now recognize during Mitt Romney's presidential run (which I wanted him to win) that I consumed Fox News—not looking for objective content, but rather content that supported my positive view of Romney and negative view of Obama—called confirmation bias. I also watched the right-wing propaganda film “2016: Obama’s America,” which claimed Obama had a secret second-term agenda (completely false). Later, in a moment of deep reflection and spiritual rebuke, I realized I was not interested in an objective facts but in a fear-based narrative that their viewers (like me) wanted. Please be better than your grandfather—look for objective news sources and those that keep you curious and challenge your assumptions. And if you feel differently than your grandpa—that is OK. Always love you ❤️ I hope you are living in a kinder and gentler world. Love, Grandpa ♥️

Not good

When we talk about "secret combinations" this is what it looks like. And the Lord has warned of the destruction that happens when they take hold (Ether 8:22-26).
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

Which temple open house are you most excited for?

The recent handbook has no deviation on the policy for weapons at Church. The Church's active shooter training still remains "run, hide, fight". If it comes to fight we are instructed "use anything available as a weapon". A far departure from Captain Moroni Alma 43:9,18,21,45-47
