Saturday Morning
Just as dynamite without nitroglycerin is unremarkable, the Savior’s Church is special only if it is built on His gospel. Without the Savior’s gospel and the authority to administer the ordinances thereof, the Church isn’t exceptional.
“This Is My Gospel”—“This Is My Church”
Elder Dale G. Renlund
Like salt can lose its essence, we can also lose our spiritual vitality if our faith in Jesus Christ becomes casual. We may look the same on the outside, but without a strong inner faith, we lose our ability to make a difference in the world and bring out the best in those around us.
Bonded to Jesus Christ: Becoming the Salt of the Earth
Elder José A. Teixeira
Joseph’s experience in the grove gave him confidence to ask for forgiveness and direction for the rest of his life. His experience has also given me confidence to ask for forgiveness and direction for the rest of my life.
The Man Who Communed with Jehovah
Elder Kyle S. McKay
When our focus is less on doing and more on strengthening our covenant connection with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, I testify that each of these sacred moments will be enriched, and we will receive the guidance needed in our personal lives.
Seek Him with All Your Heart
Bishop L. Todd Budge
Immerse yourself regularly in the Book of Mormon, which will draw the Spirit into your life and help you discern truth from error.
Sacred Scriptures—the Foundations of Faith
Elder Quentin L. Cook
When I see people showing Christlike love for one another, it feels to me as if that love contains more than just their love; it is love that also has divinity in it. When we love one another in this way, as completely and fully as we can, heaven gets involved too.
God’s Favourite
Elder Karl D. Hirst
There is no “my way” if we are to follow Christ’s example. Trying to find a different course to heaven is like the futility of working on the Tower of Babel rather than looking to Christ and His salvation.
Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
May I suggest that if you or I believe we are sufficiently strong and stalwart to avoid the arrogance of pride, then perhaps we already are suffering from this deadly spiritual disease. Simply stated, if you or I do not believe we could be afflicted with and by pride, then we are vulnerable and in spiritual danger. In the space of not many days, weeks, months, or years, we might forfeit our spiritual birthright for far less than a mess of pottage.
In the Space of Not Many Years
Elder David A. Bednar
You can find hope in the scriptural record of families. We read of those who turned away from what they were taught or who were wrestling with God for forgiveness, such as Alma the Younger, the sons of Mosiah, and Enos. In their moments of crisis, they remembered the words of their parents, words of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Remembering saved them. Your teaching of that sacred doctrine will be remembered.
Simple Is the Doctrine of Jesus Christ
President Henry B. Eyring
We all need to be lifted up by the Lord with peace, with comfort, and most of all with personal revelation to counter the fear, darkness, and contention encompassing the world.
“Behold I Am the Light Which Ye Shall Hold Up”
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
The peace you seek may not come as quickly as you desire, but I promise you that as you trust in the Lord, His peace will come.
The Triumph of Hope
Elder Neil L. Anderson
This to me is church—a place of gathering and recovery, repair and refocus
“Ye Are My Friends”
Elder David L. Buckner
Like my painting, the Lord is not done with us when we make a mistake, nor does He flee when we falter. Our need for healing and help is not a burden to Him, but the very reason He came.
The Joy of Our Redemption
Sister Kristin M. Yee
Don’t sell your birthright for a mess of pottage. Don’t trade everything for nothing. Don’t let the world change you when you were born to change the world.
O Youth of the Noble Birthright
Brother Bradley R. Wilcox
It is no wonder that every time we are taught about our divine nature and destiny, the adversary of all righteousness tempts us to call them into question.
Sons and Daughters of God
Elder Rubén V. Alliaud
At all times, it is helpful to remember Alma’s teaching that God gives His word according to the attention and effort we devote to it. If we heed God’s word, we will receive more; if we ignore His counsel, we will receive less and less until we have none. This loss of knowledge does not mean that the truth was wrong; rather, it shows that we have lost the capacity to understand it.
Trusting Our Father
Elder David P. Homer
To attend means to be present at. But to worship is to intentionally praise and adore our God in a way that transforms us!
Welcome to the Church of Joy
Elder Patrick Kearon
Holiness to the Lord makes daily living sacred. It draws us closer and happier to the Lord and each other and prepares us to live with God our Father, Jesus Christ, and our loved ones
Holiness to the Lord in Everyday Life
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
Brothers and sisters, mortality works! It is designed to work! Despite the challenges, heartaches, and difficulties we all face, our loving, wise, and perfect Heavenly Father has designed the plan of happiness such that we are not destined to fail.
Mortality Works!
Elder Brook P. Hales
One of the most important things we can learn in this life is the difference between what is eternal and what is not. Once we understand that, everything changes—our relationships, the choices we make, the way we treat people.
Nourish the Roots, and the Branches Will Grow
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Learn how priesthood ordinances and covenant promises will allow God’s power to flow into your life with greater efficacy, working in and through you, empowering and equipping you to reach your full purpose and potential.
Live Up To Your Privileges
Sister Emily Belle Freeman
But do not forget who has power over those waves and, in fact, over all things. That is our Savior, Jesus Christ. He has the power to help us out of every miserable condition or adverse situation. Regardless of whether we feel close to Him, He still can reach us where we are as we are.
His Hand Ready to Help Us
Elder Juan Pablo Villar
This remarkable experience of the Prophet Joseph Smith illustrates how feelings of weakness and inadequacy can help us recognize our fallen nature. If we are humble, this will help us come to recognize our dependence upon Jesus Christ and stir within our hearts a sincere desire to turn to the Savior and repent of our sins.
Embrace the Lord’s Gift of Repentance
Elder Jorge M. Alvarado
We stay the course with the true Church of Christ. Why? Because as with our Redeemer, we signed on for the whole term—not ending with the first short introductory quiz but through to the final exam. The joy in this is that the Headmaster gave us all open-book answers before the course began. Furthermore, we have a host of tutors who remind us of these answers at regular stops along the way. But of course, none of this works if we keep cutting class.
“I Am He”
President Jeffrey R. Holland
Regular worship in the temple will help us. In the house of the Lord, we focus on Jesus Christ. We learn of Him. We make covenants to follow Him. We come to know Him. As we keep our temple covenants, we gain greater access to the Lord’s strengthening power. In the temple, we receive protection from the buffetings of the world. We experience the pure love of Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father in great abundance! We feel peace and spiritual reassurance, in contrast to the turbulence of the world. Here is my promise to you: Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple. You will feel His mercy. You will find answers to your most vexing questions. You will better comprehend the joy of His gospel
The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again
President Russell M. Nelson
