Why I Choose Faith Over Doubt

I choose faith because I know what the fruits of a faith-filled life taste like and I KNOW that they are real. I choose faith because there is no fulfilling or satisfying substitute out there which can replace it. I choose faith because while it doesn’t perfect me, or qualify me for anything by itself, it encourages me, fills me with hope, and gives me direction and satisfaction to my life.

An Inspirational Story About Life and Struggles – Stronger Than the Storm

An Inspirational Story About Life and Struggles – Stronger Than the Storm

Back in December, Dan and I took all of the kids on a cruise. It had been planned nearly a year in advance, so we were SO excited when it was finally getting close to the time to leave. Well… we were all excited, except for my 11 year old son, Shane. Somehow Shane got it in his head that we were going to die, either on the cruise or the airplane. He didn’t know which, but he was 100% convinced that it was true. And, it was completely ruining him. It weighed on his mind constantly and there was no reasoning that could console him. He believed with all of his heart that I was taking him to his death. He couldn’t be around televisions or radios that had the news on, he lost his appetite and wasn’t eating, and he was certain that Christmas was never going to happen for us.

God's hands are always reaching out for us. He loves us. He cares for us. This family night lesson will literally help illustrate that point! Get all the details on the blog: www.orsoshesays.com

A Story About Keeping the Commandments ~ The Hand of Rescue

God gave us commandments out of love. He allows us the choice to break his commandments out of love. He watches us flounder, suffer and struggle until we cry out “God save us!” out of love. He allows others, acting as angels, to struggle with us, pray for us, and come to our rescue because we all need experiences like this and because He loves us! He gave us this earth, gave us life, and when our time comes, gave us death as a doorway back to His presence because he cherishes us as His children.

Why Do I Have to Confess My Serious Sins to the Bishop? ~ Latter-day Saint Answers

It’s a good question. If God is the one that forgives us of our sins, why do we need to confess to our bishop to repent for our more serious sins? Why is it any of his business? Why should we share our potentially embarrassing and sensitive struggles to a middle-man, who has flaws of…
