We can with confidence set a goal to make this Christmas brighter than the last and each year that follows brighter still.

We need continuing communication from god. One stream of light is not enough.

You make choices every day and almost every hour that keep you walking in the light or moving away toward darkness.

Many of you have loved ones who are wandering off the path to eternal life. You wonder what more you can do to bring them back. You can depend on the Lord to draw closer to them as you serve Him in faith.

The Lord doesn't put us through this test just to give us a test: He does it because the process will change us.

Heavenly Father has perfect foresight, knows each of us, and knows our future. He knows what difficulties we will pass through. He sent His Son to suffer so that He would know how to succor us in all our trials.

Each life is unique. But for all, repentance will surely include passing through the portal of humble prayer. Our Father in Heaven can allow us to feel fully the conviction of our sins. He knows the depths of our remorse. He can then direct what we must do to qualify for forgiveness.
