Amidst the confusion of the times, the conflicts of conscience, and the turmoil of daily living, an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.

General Questions.

At one point or another, we all question what we believe. two things can happen from that, 1.) you find the answers you wanted and are satisfied or 2.) you never find the answers and are yearning for more in depth truths. the three basic questions that missionaries are asked are
1. Where did i come from?
2. Why am i here?
3. Where will i be after this?

God is your Father in Heaven. Supporting verses: "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." Matthew 6:9 He fathers
our spirits and we are all created in His image. We were given physical bodies and sent here on earth to test our worthiness of residing with Him in His kingdom. Our worthiness is tested at all times, in all different manners. Do you obey the 10 commandments? Do you keep the law of chastity? Do you serve others? "When Ye Are in the Serviceof Your Fellow Beings Ye Are Only in the Service of Your God" Mosiah 2:17 Do you give the first fruits of your labor to your Father in Heaven? We all stumble, we are all sinners, and despite that, every single one of us, down to last cell in our body, is fully loved by our Heavenly Father. How amazing is that? God is constantly (as in always) influencing us to do the right thing, and satan is tempting us. Who will you live with? You are promised an everlasting life, will you let that slip away? After your trials are over here, you will follow through the remainder of the plan of salvation.

*kingdoms of glory
** kingdom of the devil, not a kingdom of glory

"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2
