But everything the one has taught or the other learned, has come from God--the Teacher of the teacher.

I would find myself covered in dirt from everything anti-Mormonism has had to throw at me, but I would also find myself shielded and renewed by gaining a deeper understanding of the beautiful truths surrounding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The villains of the ancient world proved the mettle of heroes like Peter and Paul, Irenaeus and Athanasius.
