Inspired Ministering
The change in Melchizedek priesthood quorums is meant to improve our ability to care for the saints. Quorums require 2 things to be successful. 1: they have to hold the love of Christ (charity) higher than their personal wishes. How must it be to hear President Eyring quote your sacrament meeting talk in general conference?

A human moment
Sandee Tueller spoke to President Eyring about Kathy Eyring. She said “I miss her.” He responded, “I miss her too. I don’t get to talk to her very much anymore but she’s doing okay.” I know as he said that that he meant that when he’s with her physically she’s not usually mentally present –…

Fear Not to Do Good
I almost completely overlooked President Monson’s call to study the Book of Mormon daily – despite the fact that I read it every day since he made the call. In contrast, President Eyring (who also has a habit of daily study in the Book of Mormon) made an enhanced effort to receive the promises blessings.…

The Lord Leads His Church
He gave Revelation to prophets past, present, and future (point 3 of 4) Anyone who is unsure whether a calling (theirs or others) is correct should withhold judgement until they can see what God sees. A person may receive counsel from a Bishop, Stake President, or other church leader – none of these men asked…

The Lord, speaking…

Gathering the Family of God
He’s talking about the Spirit of Elijah and family history work. “Even the best technology is no substitute for Revelation.” (Spoken specifically in relation to family history.) Technology can’t decide if records are duplicates even if they can suggest probabilities. “This is the work of our generation. We are all gatherers.” Family history doesn’t only…

“My Peace I Leave with You”
My message tonight is a simple one. We have all felt peace tonight. All of us would like to feel such peace often within ourselves, in our families, and with the people around us. The Lord promised peace to His disciples as He was about to leave them. He has made the same promise to…

Gratitude on the Sabbath Day
Gratitude Those who never receive a testimony of Christ will be judged according to their works and their knowledge but will not be held accountable for their testimony. Once his calling was to hand out toys in nursery and put them away later – it took years before he recognized that his calling was important…

That He May Become Strong Also
The Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods are connected and those who hold the Melchizedek priesthood can, should, and often do, lift those who hold the Aaronic irrigator as help them to grow and become greater priesthood servants than they had the vision to become before. If any among you are strong in the priesthood let him…

Eternal Families
Every priesthood work is designed to perfect the children of Heavenly Father. Every major decision should be based on the effect it would have on a family to have eternal life. I love his description of how a Devon can strengthen his family with his faith. It is a strong reminder that anyone can strengthen…
