    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    We think of the sealing keys as only applying to certain temple ordinances but in reality it is binding on all our covenants. Those who come from families who have broken the eternal pattern of family can begin the chain of family again.

    I would imagine that anyone who spent any time in primary would be able to remember “I am a child of God” even if they remembered nothing else. That suggests that primary is doing something right. Anything broken can be mended through Jesus Christ. When he’s talking about members who are lukewarm or who take…
