One of the greatest challenges we face in trying to be disciples of Christ is that we do not correctly understand the doctrines of faith in Jesus Christ and repentance. In connection with this, we do not understand what exactly is required to become heirs of salvation and eternal life or to receive the blessings…

So, I was just watching a YouTube video by Rob Smith. I took notes; revamped them a few times, until this is what I came up with. This is what I needed to hear. Maybe, you need to hear this too. Dance to the music in your heart. Live according to the light you have.…

I have updated my webpage where I feature the online version of my book, GREATEST SERMONS FROM THE BOOK OF MORMON. Click Here. I have added audio MP3 files for each section.

Does it come from relationships? Does it come from success? Does it come from money and possessions? Does it come from having fun, thrills, and entertainment?

One of the big challenges with temptation and sin is that we mentally and emotionally try to ignore the long-term and even short-term effects.
