Pain Turned Into Joy Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009

It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 5, 2009

The writer of Job explains to us the difference between human wisdom and the wisdom that comes from God. How do we find wisdom?

KNOWING GOD: THE SOURCE OF WISDOM Why do we need wisdom? Someone said that knowledge is the ability to take something apart; wisdom is needed to put it back together again.
