Do you pray for the Constitution of the United States, and for those who are sworn to defend and protect it? If not, this is a good month to begin. It was 233 years ago, on the 17th of September in – as the document itself says – “the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven” that the Constitution was signed in Philadelphia.

Finding the Truth in a World of Fiction
Is it absolutely true that there is no absolute truth? Think about that question for a moment. A 2016 Barma poll found two-thirds of Americans answer yes to this question. The irony is that saying yes is stating an absolute truth! So, how do we make sense of a world where everything is relative?
Liberty and Justice for All: An Open Letter to Fellow Citizens in Defense of American Institutions

To facilitate equal distribution and prevent excess accumulation of wealth, socialist governments impose increasingly higher taxes and aggressive regulations. Such control undermines individual initiative, discourages effort, and violates agency’s requirement that we act.
How should Latter-day Saints Vote?
A few months ago, I began noticing a disturbing trend online. I began seeing posts and comments that went something like this: No real/true/faithful member of the church could vote for ____________.
