The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an interesting mixture of choices and obligations. Most Christian denominations are almost 100% about choice. You can come to church if you want or stay home if you want. What happens [...]

The gospel of Christ should be easy to understand. The Savior taught in parables, but he spoke of simple things so people would have the best chance of grasping His meaning.

I deliberately avoid lots of references and scholarly quotes and citations so that we can focus on the principles behind the doctrine. To live a teaching in the gospel of Christ we have to first have a basic understanding of what is wanted or expected of us and how it will affect our life when we live it.

This site is specifically for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I want you to find joy in Christ's teachings because you understand them. This is the goal of the website. I hope you will be glad that you stopped in for a visit, and I hope you come back often.

Here is a comment received from one reader in Chile.

"Dear Brother, you do not know how much we enjoyed this year of the study with you. It has been a constant inspiration and source of good ideas. We admire your efforts to make the Gospel even brighter." C and M from Chile
