The Atonement of Jesus Christ is constantly under attack by the world. We are constantly challenged to present proof that someone could be resurrected and mocked when the ignorant presume their own superiority. But there is proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ outside the Bible. Here is that proof.

An Ancient Revelation on the Nature of Government
One of the great values of reading ancient history is that there is very little that is new under the Sun. Tribalism, nationalism, imperialism, and statism are not new phenomena in human history. Both their dangers and the solution to those dangers were well-known to the people of the past.
When we study their teachings we can recognize the way that the same old propaganda and same old lies have been repackaged by the political elites for our day, to indoctrinate and deceive us into believing in an ideology that serves them while harming us. We can also learn from the ancients how to prevent this cycle from repeating so that we can build a better and freer world.
Here is just such an example.
A New Year’s Pledge of Peace
With the New Year upon us, let us further dedicate ourselves to following the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, building the Kingdom of God, establishing Zion, and being disciples in word and deed. Let us dedicate ourselves to becoming peacemakers in every sense of the term.
The One and Only Path to Peace
One of my favorite Christmas hymns is, “I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day.” Based on the poem, “Christmas Bells,” by poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the hymn confronts the pains of living in mortality and facing evil directly as well as the means by which we triumph over evil. The story behind the hymn only enhances its message and helps us to understand the powerful of Hope and Faith in our every day lives.
The Human Nightmare of Science
The actions of the government are often justified because they are suggested by “experts.” But experts at what, exactly? What gives you the expertise to manage the lives of hundreds of millions people? Or tens of thousands? Or ten? Nothing but pretension and hubris. All their claims of scientific knowledge are nothing but ashes and lies, fed down our throats to fill us with ignorance and death.
Review: The Tuttle Twins Learn About The Law
The Tuttle Twins books are some of the best children’s books on the market today. Each is based on one of the greatest books about human nature, human rights, the abundant life, society, politics, or economics – both classic works and contemporary ones – and manage to make their greatest insights understandable to children.
This article is a review of the first Tuttle Twins book, “The Tuttle Twins Learn About The Law,” based off of Frédéric Bastiat’s classical political treatise, “The Law.” It covers the origin of human rights, the proper role of government, the dangers of political power, and the way to build a peaceful society of equals.
All that, in a children’s book!
In a world full of extremists trying to indoctrinate you and your children into their political cults, these books are a breath of fresh air.
The Constitution: The Enemy of the the Latter-day Saints
Recently, I was asked to give a talk in church about the ways that the Constitution aided in the Restoration. Though greatly expanded with additional quotes and pictures, this article is fundamentally the talk that I gave. By examining the breadth of early LDS history (form 1830 to roughly 1890), I provided evidence and argument that the Constitution of the United States did nothing to help the Restoration and that it was always on the side of those who brutalized, oppressed, and killed us. The reason the Restoration occurred, and has continued, was the power of Jesus Christ to protect the Saints from annihilation. No law of man gave us any aid. It was God alone who preserved and prospered us against all odds and it is He alone that continues to do so now.
Why Conservatism Is Empty, Foolish, And Will Always Fail
Conservatism is a failed ideology (if it can even be called that) which will never accomplish anything meaningful or substantial. This is because Conservatism is nothing more than the last generation’s Progressivism. The so-called “Progressives” of yesteryear simply grew old, calcified, and became the “Conservatives” as the contemporary “Progressives” have developed whole new agendas to push. In a world where people want their problems solved today, the best Conservatives offer are the nostalgic promises of the blessedness of yesterday. These and its other failures will always prevent it from ever accomplishing anything. Here is why we are not and argue no one ever should be, a “conservative.”
The Three Greatest Threats To The Church And Society: Academia
In 1993, Apostle Boyd K. Packer delivered an address to church leaders delineating three of the greatest threats to the church and society that not only then existed, but whose influence would only increase and worsen as the years went on.
This article is about the third of those three threats and the worst one of all: the so-called scholars whose ideologies threaten society itself. In this article we review the history of the politically leftist “Progressive” take over of education, their efforts from the very start to use education as a tool to indoctrinate students into their economic, social, and political theories, and how the plan has always been to try and take control of society. We also expose the idolatry at the heart of their claims to be experts guiding society to a better future for the lie it is and provide examples of the real world failures of their lies. Finally, we look at what hope we have for overthrowing their lies and freeing ourselves and our children from the prison of leftist ideology and thereby abort the headlong run into societal collapse it is bringing to pass.
The Three Greatest Threats to the Church and Society: LGBTQ+
In 1993, Apostle Boyd K. Packer delivered an address to church leaders delineating three of the greatest threats to the church and society that not only then existed, but whose influence would only increase and worsen as the years went on.
This article is about the first of those three threats – the LGBTQ+ Movement – and the way that its proponents warp language, distort science, and spread lies that do nothing but destroy the mental and emotional health of those who accept its teachings.
