MELECH in Hebrew is KING and looks like this: םלך The first character is a Mem, ם , and symbolically represents the world. The second character is a Lamed, ל , and symbolically represents the staff or rod, even the rod of iron, which is the word of God. The most important words of God […]
We talk of adversity, but we are never prepared for it when it hits us personally, are we? We still manage to ask WHY? President Henry B. Eyring’s conference address gives us a good way to prepare; thus overcoming the adversity that comes to us all. I’m still surprised to run into people who aren’t […]
There is a great parable, especially for our day, found in Doctrine and Covenants 101.
