Shaina's Rock

On a recent family camping trip, one of my daughters learned a painful lesson. We came one afternoon to a beautiful camping spot along the Snake River.

The Warrior Kings

They were the great warrior kings of the Nephites. If all rulers had been and ever would be like unto them, the very powers of hell that hold nations captive would be shaken forever. Sometime around 150 BC, Mosiah, the latest in a long line of Nephite kings, was warned of the Lord to leave the land of Nephi. It had been prophesied that…

The Fall of Adam

Their world was a paradise – the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve lived in a world where there was no evil, no crime, no corruption, no death, nor anything to mar their peace and contentment, not even a – not even a climate disaster.

Last Week

Be of Good Cheer

Broadcast Date: April 06, 2025
Have you ever found yourself saying, ‘I’ll be happy when…’ – or ‘Life will be good as soon as…’ Well, from a very old and familiar story I gained some insight into this. Life doesn’t work that way. Remember that last night of the Savior’s life? It was a wrenching emotional experience for the disciples. An already difficult night was made unbearable by the things He…

The Bread of Life

As the second Passover of the Lord’s ministry drew near, word reached Him that John the Baptist, his friend and forerunner, had been murdered.

However, the crowds see Him go, and they run around the lake ahead of Him, and are awaiting Him when His boat…

Solomon Chamberlain

Broadcast Date: April 06, 2025
It seems fitting that Spring should arrive and our thoughts turn to our lawn and garden just as we reach Jacob, chapter 5, “The Allegory of the Olive Tree.” The Lord’s Garden, as it were, is the House of Israel, and He never rests. Consider this verse: “… and that I may have joy again in the fruit of my vineyard … go to, and call servants, that we may labor…

Important People

Broadcast Date: April 06, 2025
I remember once as a little boy meeting a man who spoke to me in a very unusual way. As we worked together, he didn’t talk to me like I was just a boy. He spoke to me like an equal, as though he really believed, that in spite of the fact that he was much older than me, that he was no better than I was. I remember what an impact that had on me. It seemed unusual not…
