Was the Flood an Act of Mercy?
by Autumn Dickson
Noah’s ark is one of the most classic bible stories. Even when you’re not Christian, many people are aware of the story and what it means. I read these verses in the last post for this week, and I’m going to read them again with a new angle. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Genesis 6–11; Moses 8 – Part 2 – Autumn Dickson

Jesus’ Lineage; Our Lineage
by Autumn Dickson
I opened up the New Testament this week to study the birth of Christ. I ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole, and I’m going to take you to part of it with me.

Other Bible Translations
by Ben Spackman
Just in time for Old Testament, the Church has reshaped its policy around Bible translations. While the KJV remains the official Bible of the English-speaking Church, Latter-day Saints are now strongly encouraged, it seems, to use other translations as well. This has the effect of making scripture more accessible and understandable, and increases the joy and enthusiasm of scripture study. It helps us communicate better with our Christian neighbors, who are unlikely to use the KJV, and helps us avoid the problems that come from only reading the KJV.

The Cost of Christmas
by Autumn Dickson
Christ is the center figure in history. He was the promised Messiah who saved and changed the world. He brings light into the world. He created the world.
But a long time ago, He was just a baby that was born in a small town to a couple who had just begun their life together. Despite all that it cost them, they welcomed Christ into this world. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Christmas – Part 1 – Autumn Dickson
