"do You Love Me More Than These?"

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 15, 2025

With Valentine's Day now passed, we need to examine our hearts and ask the same question Jesus asked Peter after His resurrection, "Do you love Me more than these?"

We Know In Part Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 10, 2003

We know little about life after death, but we do know that heaven is not possessing things, that hell is about separation from God, and that the love of God will reach even to the most alienated.

We think that having things will make us happy. The truth is that happiness comes from sharing what you have with someone you love. Fulfillment is not measured by how much you have. Genuine fulfillment is measured by who you have it with. That is true in this life. I believe that is also true ...read more

The Dark Places Of The Earth
