    Part of the Lord’s current sharing of knowledge relates to accelerating His pouring out eternal truth on the heads and into the hearts of His people. He has made clear that the daughters of Heavenly Father will play a primary role in that miraculous acceleration. One evidence of the miracle is His leading His living…

    These prophetic calls to action, coupled with our innate sense that we can do and be more, sometimes create within us what Elder Neal A. Maxwell called “divine discontent.” Divine discontent comes when we compare “what we are [to] what we have the power to become.” Each of us, if we are honest, feels a…

    Solomon ended up disillusioned after decades of indulgence in his prosperity. (“All is vanity” he said toward the end of his life.) We achieve the abundant life not be focusing on our own needs but by becoming disciples of Christ and engaging in the cause of Christ. To have the healing influence if the gospel…

    The strength of the community of saints comes from the mixing of many people with a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. The combined society is different than any of the component societies that go into making it.

    A rope is made of generally ordinary materials bound or woven together which is much stronger and more useful than the original materials. The historic adjustments made today have only one overarching propose – to strengthen faith in Jesus Christ. Please do not focus primarily on the logistics of what has been changed.

    I would love a family tradition comparable to the one he describes. Not that ours needs to be the same but that I want something that is uniquely ours which is similarly impactful. Consistent, wholesome family traditions that include prayer, scripture study, family home evening, and church attendance will lay a solid foundation for testimony.…

    “What does ministering look like? … It looks like becoming part of somebody’s life.” The story of the sister who was in a new city for her husband’s graduate school sounds like Jason Black. If we implement this program the way it is being described, members of the church will truly learn how to tackle…

    I was unaware that President Nelson was a convert to the church. Correction, his family was inactive when he was growing up. Each person can have their own witness about what is true and who to trust. “I urge everyone to increase their capacity to receive personal revelation.” Elder Maxwell “to those who have eyes…

    I join with you and other Christians in celebrating the literal Resurrection of Christ. The effect over time of spiritual practices such as regular prayer, regular scripture study, regular covenant renewal are very powerful like a tree to growing underground that can crack thick concrete.

    He’s speaking about rising above the corruption of the world – I wish I had been able to hear more of this so far. The Sabbath is the Lord’s time – a time for us to worship Him and elevate our vision from the things of the world to the things of eternity. Temples are…
