Dear Gramps, I believe that a man and a woman in my ward are not married but are living together. I was just assigned to be her Visiting Teacher, but when I stopped by a little ahead of our appointment, the circumstances I found lead me to believe that this is not...

Question Gramps, I read the question asked about the inscription on our temples “House of the Lord, Holiness to the Lord” and it seems like I have heard this several times. President Lorenzo Snow told one of his granddaughters, about a place in the Salt Lake...

Question Gramps, I don’t understand the omnipresence of Christ, Heavenly Father, and the Holy Ghost. How can this be if they have bodies of flesh and bones. Excluding the Holy Ghost of course. The Holy Ghost can only be one place at one time, so I’ve heard....

Dear Gramps, I go to a catholic school and i try to endure their “sacrament meetings” since they are compulsory for attendance. (But you don’t have to partake of their emblems). Anyway, they claim to be the only true church (like we do but we are modest about it) and...

Dear Gramps, We are instructed throughout the scriptures to “Come unto Christ” and get our lives resolved through Him. Yet, I find it frustrating that I am to only address the Father in my prayers. I feel this constant struggle to really, truly, come unto Christ, yet...

Dear Gramps, I understand that the Atonement was a physical and spiritual payment that Jesus Christ made for all of God’s children. He paid for our bodies overcoming death unconditionally, and paid for our spirits overcoming sin conditionally upon our faith,...
