Elder Maxwell On Marriage, Family, Abortion and the Secular Church

Tyler — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:01:33 +0000

This is a fantastic and prophetic speech delivered at BYU in 1978 about how secularists are really trying to turn “irreligion” into the state religion.

Tyler — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 17:59:25 +0000

He asserted that church members believe in and accept Christ as the Son of God and as the Savior of mankind. That’s [...]
