    We need to do more than wait to be saved. If we want the blessings of exaltation we need to make covenants.

  • The Correct Name of the Church

    “Some wondered why it was important to address something so inconsequential.” There is nothing inconsequential about how we use the name of Christ. President Nelson just emphasized that IT IS NOT inconsequential just after I typed that. To remove the Savior’s name from the church is a major victory for Satan. “What’s in a name?…

    Why did this happen to a good missionary couple? It isn’t fair. How could this happen? “One thing is certain, among the joy there will be hours, days, weeks, or sometimes years when your soul will be wounded.” Yup. I never considered before the lesson that comes by our records noting the addition of 60…

    How did those missionaries know to bear testimony of the Book of Mormon and then leave without further discussion? “My mission president in Chile invited us to read the testimony of the prophet Joseph Smith as found in Joseph Smith History every week.”

    We suggest that you not wait for further instructions on ministering. Jump in and do something. I want to speak about another type of ministering that doesn’t involve an assignment. “Anger, if not restrained is always more destructive than the thing that provoked it.” “Our relationship with Christ will be determined or at least affected…

    Jesus asked Peter to become a shepherd. We have all been given the same invitation to become shepherds through ministering. Numbering is not about numbers. It is about making sure that each person feels loved. “I hope those to whom you minister will see you as a friend.” “Do our sheep know we are watching…

    How frustrating it must have been, how impotent Joseph F. Smith must have felt, as person after person close to his heart had died. Surely he had prayed for them to be spared time after time. It is no wonder that President Joseph F. Smith received the revelation in Section 138 and that he saw…

    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.

    Heavenly Father knows you and He knows the spiritual and temporal needs of you and everyone around you.
