Example of Faith: New General Authority Vs. Evil Spirit
I read, Yearning for the Living God, by F. Enzio Busche a few years ago. He was a Seventy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Writing and Commenting in the Bloggernacle
Good, better, and best are terms that can be used to describe the relative worth of competing choices. The one thing they have in common is the fact that a favorable outcome can be expected from each. However, the favorable outcomes are not of equal value. All of us come to forks in the road of life where we have choices to make from competing interest.

Reflections on Receiving Answers to Prayer
Recently I reviewed my journal and relived some spiritual experiences. I noted a couple of things that I thought might be interesting to the readers of this blog. Let me know your thoughts and experience on this subject.
How do I know if I have the Gift of the Holy Ghost?
And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. 3 Nephi 12:6
For those who desire the companionship of the Holy Gospel this scripture is packed with meaning. The Lord draws on basic needs all of us experience on a daily basis; hungering and thirsting-to teach us what it takes to be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Repentance Is Not Synonymous with Perfection or Reformation
The name of this site is, "LDS Alive in Christ". Those who follow Christ become alive in Christ when they receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. In order to be eligible to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost one must be baptized by one having authority. Prior to baptism and certainly after baptism a follower of Christ must learn and apply the principle of repentance. I recently read the following regarding repentance and decided to make it available to those who read this blog. In my opinion it is essential to understand the difference between repentance and reformation in order to make progress in things of the spirit.
