We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

I know...



These are a few of the things that Alma delivered to the people in their cities and villages throughout the land. “Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this the spirit of revelation which is in me… I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the Son, the only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy and truth. And behold it is he that cometh to take away the sins of the world yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name.” (Alma 5:46 & 48)   
We likewise must fast and pray until we know beyond a shadow of doubt these same things… until we no longer just believe but we know.  When we have done this then we are fit to teach and to share our knowledge of the gospel in as much as it is prudent and directed the Lord.
