admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:00:31 +0000

A lot of contemporary movies picture American suburban life as banal, hypocritical, and morally bankrupt — a deceitful place where manicured landscapes and plastic surgery cover up empty, desperate realities.

Quran Burning is a Sacrilegious Slap in the Face of Christ

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:06:05 +0000

The extremes now seem to dictate the political discourse — extremists in caves who invoke their distorted brand of Muslim faith as they murder innocent people; and extremists in a Florida church who want to “send a message” to a billion…

Sunday School Lesson 36: Isaiah 1-6

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 05:40:37 +0000

Scriptural Background The Savior tells us, “great are the words of Isaiah” (3 Nephi 23:1), and he commands us to search them diligently. (Towards the end of Book of Mormon history, Mormon repeats that command: Mormon 8:23.) Nephi tells us that his soul delights in Isaiah (2 Nephi 11:2), but he also tells us that many of his people did not share his experience: “Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to understand” (2 Nephi 25:1). A good number of us have had the experience of Nephi’s people rather than of Nephi

Which Corporations are Buying Your Candidates?

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:30:38 +0000

The midterm election season is upon us, the first since the Supreme Court’s January 21 ruling that allows corporations to spend as much as they wish on political advertising — as long as they disclose their involvement. It seems to me that corporate…

Craigslist Attorneys Threaten Georgia Anti-Trafficking Activists

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:00:57 +0000

Editor’s Note: What is behind Craigslist’s recent enigmatic, and dramatic, choice to replace (at least for now) its entire “adult services” section with the single word “censored”? Is it a publicity stunt, or a genuine response to protests, by state…

Jonah, overboard.

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:54:34 +0000

If you haven’t heard the story in Sunday School yet, you will shortly ( Jonah 1 ). Surprisingly, the combination of God and bad weather is still a potent force in the modern era — my stake was praying for rain earlier this year. But here is a more colorful Jonah-like account with sailors, storms, and witches from the 17th century

The Icarians

While browsing the Wikipedia entry on Nauvoo, I saw this: Nauvoo attracts large numbers of visitors for its historic importance and its religious significance to members of…groups such as the Icarians. I’d never heard of the Icarians before. So, continuing down the Wikipedia path, I found this: The Icarians were a French utopian movement, founded by Étienne Cabet, who led his followers to America where they established a group of egalitarian communes during the period from 1848 through 1898.

Sunday School Lesson 34: Hosea 1-3; 11; 13-14

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 03:13:40 +0000

The book of Hosea is an excellent example of a book that we often find difficult because we don’t understand “the manner of prophesying among the Jews” (2 Nephi 25.1). One of the most important of those ways of prophesying was the use of types and shadows
