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.

Genuine fulfillment is measured by who you have it with. That is true in this life. I believe that is also true ...read more
