In Doctrine and Covenants section 5 verse 10, as we read today in class, we learn that this dispensation has received the word of the Lord largely through the prophet joseph Smith. I have never quite comprehended how much we actually owe to the prophet Joseph: the Book of Mormon; the Doctrine and Covenants; the joseph Smith translation of the Bible; his translation of the records now found in the Pearl of Great Price; even the temple ordinances of exaltation.

Recently I attended the Sperry Symposium, an event where a series of talks were given on the Prophet joseph Smith. I wanted to share a few of my favorite stories: Spencer J.

Lands were purchased, homes constructed, fields planted, and personal property acquired, only to have most of it st... Read More
On 25 August 1844 Parley P. Pratt published a little story in the New York Herald entitled "Joe Smith and the Devil." In this story the devil happens upon Joseph, and they have a pleasant conversation. The devil is insisting to the Prophet that he, the devil, is happy to support all creeds, systems, and forms of Christianity, of whatever name or nature; so long as they leave out that abominable doctrine, which caused me so much trouble in former times, and which, after slumbering f...
