"Precepts of Men" - doctrines and ideas misleading the masses that lack scriptural support - are here exposed in all their beguiling hues. Never has scriptural interpretation come under such cutting scrutiny. As found in Jewish and Mormon primary sources - principally the Bible and Book of Mormon - God's pristine Word reveals itself in layer after layer of glorious truth.

Joseph Smith taught that knowledge is the power of salvation. With that in mind, one might wonder: What was the purpose for introducing temple ordinances to the Church? Are they simply arcane rituals to be memorized? Do they have some inherent magic necessary for redemption? Or are they rather intended to help the Saints gain knowledge, particularly knowledge which saves? And if imparting knowledge is their purpose, then what is the Lord trying to teach us?

As the world anticipates its end, we Latter-Day Saints are preparing to build the city of Zion.

Putting On Christ is a road map of our heroic journey to spiritual rebirth, also referenced in the holy writ as “the gate” that leads to eternal life. This gate is the first comforter which is received and initiated through a “baptism of fire” and the manifestation of the Lord’s spirit. The Savior said, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able” (Luke 13:24). For the true seeker and truth seeker, Putting On Christ may prove a valuable guide for the journey.
