The Greatest Easter Story Ever Told — Gary E. Stevenson
I would like Laura and I to evaluate our celebrations of Christmas and Easter and write down some ideas about how we would like to celebrate each in Christ centered ways. And I would like us to make Easter at least as big a deal at our house as Christmas.
Your Patriarchal Blessing—Inspired Direction from Heavenly Father — Randall K. Bennett
I pray that members who have not yet received their patriarchal blessing will prayerfully seek to know when they are ready. I promise that if you prepare spiritually, your experience, like mine, will be sacred to you. I also pray that those who have already received their patriarchal blessing will study it and treasure it.
I want to establish a pattern for regularly studying my patriarchal blessing—perhaps monthly.
Study the talk by Elder Uchtdorf
I would like to look at the various comments about how we treat others. There have been multiple talks in the Sunday morning session alone that have spoken directly about that.
One in Christ — D. Todd Christofferson
- End conflicts in:
- Your heart
- Your home
- Your life
- Become one:
- Within yourself
- At home
- In the church
- In Zion (eventually)
- With the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
Peacemakers Needed — Russell M. Nelson
Charity is the antidote to contention. Charity is the spiritual gift that helps us to cast off the natural man, who is selfish, defensive, prideful, and jealous. Charity is the principal characteristic of a true follower of Jesus Christ. Charity defines a peacemaker.
It is no wonder that Paul and Mormon called charity the greatest of all.
The gospel net is the largest net in the world. God has invited all to come unto Him, “black and white, bond and free, male and female.” There is room for everyone. However, there is no room for prejudice, condemnation, or contention of any kind.
My dear brothers and sisters, the best is yet to come for those who spend their lives building up others. Today I invite you to examine your discipleship within the context of the way you treat others. I bless you to make any adjustments that may be needed so that your behavior is ennobling, respectful, and representative of a true follower of Jesus Christ.
I bless you to replace belligerence with beseeching, animosity with understanding, and contention with peace.
