Protect the Children
He is speaking about the need to protect children and the wellbeing of children. One of the most serious offenses against children is to deny them birth. There are 40 million abortions worldwide each year. This is especially ironic with so many couples who desire children but cannot have them. When he speaks of the…

Trial of Your Faith
The gift of faith is a priceless spiritual endowment. Trials have the potential to weaken our faith. This could speak to Marie. When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety of the gospel path. The doctrines of the church are taught by all 15 members of the First Presidency and…

Temple Standard
Just as the construction of temples requires the highest standards of materials and workmanship, so our lives can always be upgraded in one way or another. We need not beat ourselves up neither should we accept imperfections resulting from less than our best efforts. When we become aware of elements of our lives that are…

What Shall a Man Give in Exchange for His Soul?
I love that as a new 12-year-old he rushed home to tell his dad about his “great coup” of buying the 25¢ ticket for an 11-year-old rather than the 35¢ ticket for a 12-year-old. That demonstrates how child-like he still was. He should have known better but he did afterward. God is mindful of each…

In your morning prayers ask Heavenly Father each day to help you recognize an opportunity to serve someone that day. If you do this your spiritual…

Becoming Goodly Parents
Elder Perry is 90 – he doesn’t look more than 80. He was reviewing some letters he wrote to his parents nearly 70 years ago while in the military. He talks about the things goodly parents can do build a foundation of faith for their children. He is teaching us how to help our children…

Of Regrets and Resolutions
Like the previous talk, this sounded good from a distance but I was busy with other things. I look forward to studying it later.

Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You!
This sounded like a good talk on what it means to actually follow Christ. I felt I needed to focus on answering some questions related the the previous talk so I missed most of the meat this time through.

“Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also”
Here is another story of someone who was hurt by the false doctrine of infant baptism and the death of an unbaptized infant. This talk is intended to speak to those who have lost a child. I suspect this might be the answer to prayers for Marie Nuccitelli. I thought I was praying for her…
