For the Weakest Saint by Autumn Dickson The Word of Wisdom is a gift. Some view this advice as ridiculous and unnecessary. Honestly, it reminds me of when my son thinks it’s ridiculous and unnecessary for him to wear shoes and a helmet when he rides his dirt bike. Sure, he may ride his dirt […]

Accepting Christ’s Gift by Autumn Dickson I love when the scriptures give us more insights into how the relationship between the atonement of Jesus Christ and our works come together. I think it’s a relationship that needs to be studied thoroughly if we are to understand how to enjoy Celestial Glory. For while we believe […]

“I Don’t Have a Testimony of the History of the Church” by Davis Bitton at the 2004 FAIR Conference I don’t have a testimony of the history of the Church. That is why I can be a historian and also a believing Latter-day Saint. I will expand on this idea, but first let me address […]

by Scott Gordon at the 2025 FAIR Conference History of FAIR In 1997, I logged in to America Online Mormonism message board 1 expecting to find friends. Instead, I found critics. I was quickly surprised by the sheer volume of vitriol and criticism of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Common claims included: You can’t add to […]

Receiving Joy by Autumn Dickson There are eternal truths in this world that spill over in the world to come. Whether we fight against those truths determines what we’re going to enjoy. The Lord said this: Doctrine and Covenants 88:32 And they who remain shall also be quickened; nevertheless, they shall return again to their […]

Holy Places and Tares by Autumn Dickson I want to talk about two different themes from the sections assigned this week, standing in holy places and the parable of the wheat and tares. I’m not sure whether the Lord purposefully put these two themes right next to each other, but now it’s caught my attention […]

Steadying the Ark by Autumn Dickson There is a reference to an Old Testament story found in the sections for this week. Let’s talk about the background and then read the verse. In 2 Samuel, the Israelites are bringing the ark of the covenant back into Israel after an enemy nation had captured and released […]

Renewal by Autumn Dickson There is a promise found in Section 84. And though it is specifically in relation to priesthood ordinations, I believe the promises we find there can apply to all of us. Here it is. Doctrine and Covenants 84:33 For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I […]

A Legitimate Question by Autumn Dickson When I was growing up, I remember being worried about receiving revelation. How could I differentiate between His voice and my own internal voice? I know I wasn’t the only one who asked this question and as I’ve become an adult and occasional leader over the youth, I have […]

Much is Required by Autumn Dickson Rather than talking about a specific verse from this week, I want to talk a bit more about context so that the verses we read are more powerful. Hearing the Lord speak about gospel principles is wonderful, but sometimes understanding the stories behind the principles He chooses to talk […]

A Recycled Revelation by Autumn Dickson This week I’m talking a lot about context rather than any specific verses which is not usually my norm. However, I think that delving into the context of these sections is really important and can make the scriptures feel more rich. Just as we learn from the stories in […]

Be of Good Cheer by Autumn Dickson The Doctrine and Covenants are interesting as a book of scripture. They are different from other books of scripture. So many of the scriptures that we read are stories from which we can draw lessons or sermons given by the people in those stories. The Doctrine and Covenants […]
