  • God’s Favourite

    I like the comparison between all his children claiming to be the favorite and John calling himself the apostle that Jesus loved and neighbor calling Christ “my Jesus.” Surely, Jesus removes all shame from being broken. There is much for us to do in this life but self-loathing and self-condemnation are not on that list.…

    From Section 25 “Live up to your privileges.” Partaking of the sacrament is a weekly reminder of Him working in you. Wearing the garment is a daily reminder of Him working in you.

  • The Triumph of Hope

    As he spoke about hope and seeing our bright future through the light of hope I had the impression that I should look toward this election with hope and optimism rather than concern that the voters will not choose wisely. Part of the reason for hope is also the recognition that hope in Christ is…

  • “Out of Obscurity”

    As if comparative obscurity, smallness as to scale, and ample human imperfection in the membership of His Church were not enough, the Lord wants a humble as well as a pure people. Thus, the lesson taught ancient Israel is still relevant: only three hundred warriors were used by Gideon to triumph over Israel’s enemies, “lest…

  • Sweet Power of Prayer

    I was led to this talk from a footnote in Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives. Through prayer, we can show our love for God. And He has made it so easy. We may pray to Him any time. No special equipment is needed. We don’t even need to charge batteries or pay…

  • All Will Be Well Because of Temple Covenants

    I can only imagine how important faith in the sealing covenants would be on a day like that when the Eyring’s were separated from their children while their town was flooded by the Teton dam. The safest place to live spiritually is within your temple covenants. (I missed who he was quoting) Qualifying to make…

  • Integrity: A Christlike Attribute

    Living a life of integrity requires us to be true to God, to each other, and to our divine identity. The oppositional pull of the world…how we respond to that pull {is a measure of our integrity}. Our zeal to keep the second commandment should not compromise our {fidelity} to the first commandment. Dallin H.…

    Those who gain confidence in their covenants possess one of the greatest powers we can have. If there is one thing we could possess and pass on to our children it is confidence in our covenants. Individual worthiness to enter the Lord’s house requires… (President Nelson Sunday Afternoon session in October 2019) Preparation isn’t just…

  • Pillars and Rays

    I like the way he approaches the story of Joseph Smith seeking answers as a teenager. Sometimes church members get discouraged by not experiencing marvelous spiritual experiences. {They may even drift away from the church.} … Sometimes, rather than sending us a pillar of light the Lord sends us a ray of light, and then…

  • Put Ye On the Lord Jesus Christ

    We have the opportunity to enter into a covenant relationship with God in which our lives become a symbol of {His love}. The covenant path is all about our relationship with God. A covenant relationship differs from a non-covenant relationship the same way there is a difference between a commercial contract and a retail contract.…
