Good afternoon everyone am from Ghana
I wasn't really doing anything wrong but I ended up deleting my Reddit account it made me think that there have been times that I have been tempted to say things that I would never say if I had to use my real name and photo.
Amen an Thank You

What a wonderful message for young adults today 🙏
Thanks Elder Cook for this wonderful message. Camouflage is really a tool of the adversary. It is time to reveal our identity as a member of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints and what we believe so we can be a beacon of light to others 🎉
Is Young adults different from Young Single Adults?
Wow amazing choir
Both of the prayers were very nice.
Love and God bless BYU-HAWAII !
Its a sign to go back to church 🙏
Anonymity can be good to protect yourself and your family from psychos who will use your name to find and attack you. We don't live in the same world boomers grew up in. Be careful Brothers, keep your children out of the sight of monsters and predators.
The water pouring animation looks a lot like AI 🙁
Amen
Elder Cook, thank you for your continued ministry and for the uplifting content you share.
I noticed that, in this devotional address, you were referred to as an "Apostle of Jesus Christ" multiple times.
I wanted to gently mention something that may be helpful for doctrinal clarity:
In scripture, the office and title "Apostle of Jesus Christ" is reserved for individuals who are called directly by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Such a calling does not originate with an ecclesiastical leader, quorum, or organization, but is personally extended by the Lord. This pattern is seen in the calling of the Twelve during Christ's earthly ministry and later in the callings of Paul, Barnabas, and others who received their commission directly from Him.
This same office of "Apostle of Jesus Christ" was later bestowed in the Doctrine and Covenants upon only three individuals: Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer (D&C 18:9), and Joseph Smith (D&C 21:1). In each case, the authority and commission originated with the Lord Himself.
These individuals were distinguished from those who served in the institutional office of the Traveling Councilor, whom the Lord described as the "Twelve Apostles" (D&C 107:23). While both offices are apostolic in nature, they are not established in the same manner. One is a personal calling received directly from Jesus Christ; the other is an institutional office filled through appointment by the President of the Church.
There has yet to be an individual who was first personally called by the Lord to the office of "Apostle of Jesus Christ" and who was later called by the President of the Church to serve in the institutional office of Traveling Councilor. The Lord in the scriptural record has consistently maintained a distinction between these two callings.
In the Church today, the office of Traveling Councilor is an apostolic office, meaning "one sent forth," and is a calling extended by the President of the Church. By contrast, the office of "Apostle of Jesus Christ" is not conferred by any church officer but by the Lord Himself.
For this reason, using the title "Apostle of Jesus Christ" in reference to those serving in the office of Traveling Councilor may unintentionally blur a distinction that the Lord has been careful to preserve. I offer this observation only as a respectful doctrinal clarification and with sincere appreciation for your many years of service and ministry.

Love Elder Cook, but we just got through a period in our history where people were cancelled or fired for something they said online decades ago. Try saying any simple LDS doctrine on the family online with your real name. See how it affects your employment over the next several decades. Your words live online forever.
Not trying to say unkind or cruel things. I would just be fired if I repeat the Family Proclamation under my real name.
"Don't be anonymous online" sounds neutral. It isn't.
If I post that gender is eternal or that marriage is between a man and a woman, I can lose my job. Someone posting the opposite faces nothing.
Say a man can't become a woman, which is just plain English for "gender is eternal," and you're the one HR calls.
For a lot of faithful Saints, anonymity isn't about being cruel. It's the only way to say what the Proclamation says without paying for it with their livelihood.
👍
It's great to be a pertaker
thank you!
❤
Great Talk by Elder Cook: alots to learn from those who spoke so well: President Elder Rasband and Elders Cook's discourses Thanks to those who thought it's was wise to post this video
I'm grateful for the message thank you so much.
I love the devotionals ❤❤❤😊
Light is most powerful when it is consistent and reliable, like a lighthouse or a candle in a dark room. That line from Elder Cook is one I want to remember. And hearing him recall meeting President McKay as a 19-year-old student before that first trip to Hawaii was such a sweet touch.
❤ Jesus Christ loves you❤
Thank you Elder Cook for this wonderful devotional! ❤
Amazing ❤
Read Ezekiel 1 as though he is talking about modern technology. Planes with wings, cars with wheels, crystal screens that show the color Lapiz Lazuli (blue) before being hooked up. It’s all about our day. Ezekiel sat down on the ground after Babylon was destroyed, and God told and showed him that in our day, Zion would be restored and he could have hope for the future.
When I hear music I turned to my joy and my soul
Okay why did Nadia Marsh archetype quiz make me genuinely excited about manifesting again 😭 I was so tired of complicated routines and conflicting advice. Now I have an approach that feels personal, and I'm actually enjoying my spiritual journey.7txtx😮4😮
