An Act of Faith

by Autumn Dickson

This week, we run into a big announcement for the Saints.

Doctrine and Covenants 37:3-4

3 And again, a commandment I give unto the church, that it is expedient in me that they should assemble together at the Ohio, against the time that my servant Oliver Cowdery shall return unto them.

4 Behold, here is wisdom, and let every man choose for himself until I come. Even so. Amen.

The Lord asks His Saints, many of whom are gathered in New York, to pack up and move to Ohio. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 37–40 – Autumn Dickson

Anchoring our Identity and Eternity in Jesus Christ

What does it really mean to receive a gift—not just open it, but internalize it, live it, and let it define your very identity?

In his deeply moving General Conference message, “Receive His Gift,” Elder Patrick Kearon invites us to pause and reflect on the most profound of all gifts: the perfect, holy Son of God, sent by our Heavenly Father for us. Elder Kearon explores what it means to truly receive this divine gift—not passively, but intentionally—and how embracing this gift reframes our identity as children of God and anchors us in the realities of Christ’s atonement and resurrection.

I Am In Your Midst

by Autumn Dickson

There is a lot of doctrine covered in Doctrine and Covenants 29. I absolutely love it. It ranges from the Millennium to agency and all over the board. There are so many things that caught my attention that are meaningful to me but alas, let’s talk about just one of the principles. Before I jump into the verse, I want to give some background to explain why it caught my attention. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 29 – Autumn Dickson

Embracing Prophetic Leadership and Our Divine Responsibilities

As we approach another General Conference, have you ever wondered what opportunities lie ahead for us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

In his powerful address, Days Never to Be Forgotten, Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles invites us to contemplate both the remarkable early days of the Restoration and the prophetic potential of the coming decade. As he recounts the foundational miracles of the Church and looks forward to unparalleled opportunities, he challenges each of us to embrace our divinely appointed responsibilities as disciples of Jesus Christ.

God Chose a Prophet

by Autumn Dickson

We are currently still in the very early days of the church where the Lord is revealing line upon line. Satan is actively working against God’s plan, and he often tries to mimic God to lead people astray. He loves to tell half-truths that seem logical upon first examination.

Live Up to Your Privileges: Women, Priesthood Power, and Seeking a Better World

A Gift of Divine Power for All God’s Children

What does it mean to access God’s power? How can priesthood ordinances shape our journey, not just for those who hold the priesthood, but for all who make and keep sacred covenants? In her General Conference address, “Live Up to Your Privileges”, President Emily Belle Freeman invites us to consider these questions in light of Doctrine and Covenants 25—the Lord’s revelation to Emma Smith—and our own divine privileges.

Require Not Miracles

by Autumn Dickson

The Doctrine and Covenants differs from other books of scripture in the sense that the Lord is often responding to individual people. This can lead to some of the sections seeming disjointed as the Lord covers multiple feelings and circumstances that any given individual may be experiencing. In other books of scriptures, we get stories or sermons that were all meant to go together. In the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord is simply talking to the people receiving the revelation (most often through the prophet Joseph Smith), and it’s like a letter. He’s going to respond to many different circumstances. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 23–26 – Autumn Dickson
