As my wife and I have studied together and individually over the years, we have found a pattern that has helped us understand truth in this world of so much information and persuasions, without the need of the philosophies of men or women, or being distorted in thinking by opinion or theory.
This pattern comes by carefully studying and following the Mormon doctrines, or correctly stated, the doctrines, teachings and statutes of Jesus Christ, the source of truth and light to all mankind.
We invite you to go through these principles and ponder upon them. We will invite you in each principle to stop, think and ponder upon the specifics of the principle being taught, and then apply the principle in your life, test it out, and see if it isn’t true. Doing so will help you grow in the truth and knowledge of things as they really are (what our society so desperately needs, the truth of things as they really are, not empty political rhetoric mostly filled with deceitful promises, ulterior motives, and agendas far from the real needs of the people of America).
We have laid out these principles of truth in such a way, that they build off each other, just as true principles build upon each other, giving you time to truly grow and expand your mind’s horizons, principle by principle, precept by precept, truth by truth, until you come to all truth, and abide in it (part of this life’s purpose), which is glorious and wonderful, beyond what this world can ever offer.
Knowing truth and abiding by in it will refine your growing characteristics, enhance your perspective on life and the lives of those around you, give you a greater comprehension of the purpose of this life and our existence in it, give you confidence before God and mankind, and ultimately bring you back home into the presence of our loving Heavenly Father and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to live eternally with them in peace and happiness (part of the plan he has given his children).
With that introduction, we invite you to read each principle, one by one, without skipping a principle or moving on until you understand the principle and have applied it, or tested it out.
We urge you to read out loud in an audible voice, as this is a proven technique to better comprehension and reading skills for any reading you do. I simply like to whisper as I read in a quiet place where I can think, ponder, and relax.
As always, if you come to a principle, a point in our discussions that you just can’t seem to agree with or understand, please let us know, and present your case, as that is how we learn together. We openly expect some to ask questions about these principles taught here, but we will show you in these principles just how you can find the truth of anything we share completely on your own without influence or the like from any source other than truth itself. That is what is so exciting to us, in that truth is a source independent of any other influence, and truth abides forever without changing, a “Mormon” doctrine through and through, or correctly stated, a doctrine of Jesus Christ through and through.
Don’t agree? That is just fine, but you’ll never know what we know, and what truth has to offer you, your family, your circumstances in life, your future security and peace, unless you try, and put it to the test. One may know the truth as far that one person is willing to seek it out diligently, and God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek, ask and knock. We are grateful to a loving God for allowing us to see the pattern and principles that lead one to truth, to life eternal, to the purpose of this life and the life beyond, and so we share them with you, for they are not only the meanings behind our happiest experiences in this life and lives to come, but they also will open your mind as what you should expect and could verbally remind any elected Mormon official of, as a devout Mormon should be seeking and applying to these principles in whatever degree the individual understands them.
