What does it mean to believe in God amidst profound suffering? This post explores the haunting question etched on a concentration camp wall: 'If there is a God, He must ask me for forgiveness.' Through the lens of LDS theology, we confront the silence of God in human pain and the transformative power of the Cross. 

In Latter-day Saint theology, one of the most profound and sometimes misunderstood practices is the sealing ordinance—the sacred ceremony that binds families together for eternity. For many, the idea of needing a formal ritual to secure eternal family relationships can seem puzzling.

This article explores how neuroscience and faith can work together, showing how God might use the natural functions of our minds and bodies to deliver spiritual truth.
