Thirst for truth

-

Truth is something that only the just truly seek. Those that are not motivated by a sincere desire to be just are usually motivated by Pride, vanity, and selfishness; the greatest criminals known to man. A just and righteous person seeks to change his life to conform to God's commandments, whereas, a man of opposite disposition would desire to change God and His commandments to conform to himself. The first is ready to admit that he is wrong the second contends that he is right and the world is wrong. 

Throughout my experience, this has been the case. Thirst for truth is a desire of the honest at heart. They desire only to know what is right and are willing to sacrifice what they must to follow it. As a missionary, I have taught many people from various backgrounds. I have often wondered why some people change and become more Christlike and why others choose not to listen at all. While there are many factors involved in this, one of the greatest elements is weather the person chooses to desire good or evil. That's the sum of the matter.

This article is meant to be framework for family discussion, such as might take place in a Family Home Evening. By the end each family member would hopefully understand the value in collaboration and family consensus. Family Home Evenings are a formal time in our family where we talk, have fun, and associate with one another. It is a time and place where we dis...

​The Everlasting Gospel

New York is not an obscure place. It's a splendid and curious wealth of people.  The world congregates  here, and the public transportation is evidence of that! Backgrounds very, customs overlap, and the religious beliefs often run the spectrum of practical to mystical and back again. We are all different;  there is no such thing as a cookie cutter person; but in a very real sense we all share something  unique in common: our humanity.                                                                            Indeed we are all brothers and sisters and have been so from the beginning. We believe in the same God and want to do right by our neighbor. Justice is an integral part of our beings. We just want to do what's best. An eagle eye could prove that even a N...
