Joseph Smith

Neil L. Anderson
“The ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee;
“The ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee;

Why does the Lord allow the evil speaking to chase after the good? One reason is that opposition against the things of God sends seekers of truth to their knees for answers
The importance of Joseph’s work requires more than intellectual consideration; it requires that we, like Joseph, “ask of God.”9 Spiritual questions deserve spiritual answers from God.
Studying the Church … through the eyes of its defectors,” Elder Neal A. Maxwell once said, is “like interviewing Judas to understand Jesus. Defectors always tell us more about themselves than about that from which they have departed.
We might remind the sincere inquirer that Internet information does not have a “truth” filter. Some information, no matter how convincing, is simply not true.
We might remind the inquirer that some information about Joseph, while true, may be presented completely out of context to his own day and situation.
you won’t be of much help to others if your own faith is not securely in place.
Be sure to adjust your own mask before helping others.”
Despite what comes, this great cause will go forward
n our society beyond the veil of death, we will clearly understand the sacred calling and divine mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith. In that not-too-distant day, you and I and “millions [more] shall know ‘Brother Joseph’ again
