I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me.

All Is Now Yours: Giving What We Do Not Have

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 8, 2001

In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

Do We Have Pigeon Religion?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 3, 2022
