After seven years operating the Seminary Teachers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Facebook group, I've seen it all. Too many of us are giving answers about race and priesthood intended to preserve faith that do not convey the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth sohelpmegod. We know lot […]
Matthew 2:13–21. The purposes and work of the Lord cannot be frustrated. (5–10 minutes) Show the students a glass of water and a teaspoon of sugar. Stir the sugar into the water. Then invite a student to separate the sugar from the water. Read Doctrine and Covenants 121:33 and ask students: How is the difficulty […]

Instructed them that they could eat it now or wait and receive more of a reward. Continued with the lesson.... Once […]
By Wendi Gunn: Here is an object lesson that I am going to use for #dandc58 :34-65. It could be used to illustrate #repentance in any lesson though. I used it in a SS class and it was very effective. I took a light bulb and spray painted it black. Then I asked the class […]
Well, that went well. I felt the spirit more strongly during this Relief Society gospel study lesson than in our previous lessons. I started out by debunking that Mormon myth about the devil having control of the waters in D&C 61. Easy. Hopefully it's clear to everyone that the destroyer is not the devil, but […]
