Blood Offerings of Kings in Ancient America and King Benjamin's Oration in the Book of Mormon

The Parable of the Ten Virgins Elucidated

Jesus is coming—but no one knows when. In this deep dive into the Parable of the Ten Virgins, we’ll explore everything from small details—like whether the women were really carrying lamps—to life-changing questions: Why did Jesus compare His return to a wedding? This parable is richer, more urgent, and more personal than you ever imagined.

Understanding the story of the Widow's Mite

The story of the widow's mite is a powerful reminder that God is more interested in our heart than the amount of our gift. The widow gave all she had, even though it was very little, and Jesus commended her for her sacrifice. We can learn from her example to give generously even when it is difficult. The story also teaches us that God sees and remembers our good deeds, no matter how small they may seem. He is always with us and He will reward us for our faithfulness.
