To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The other night my wife received a phone call from a sister from the ward who was asking if I was available to give her friend a priesthood blessing. I was available and quickly called another brother in our ward to assist. If I have time, I try to change my clothes into my Sunday […]
(From October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference.) I have always felt a little jealous of the talks the men receive during the Priesthood session of conference. Their talks always seem to be more specific, more demanding, and more “important” somehow. I now have a different view that I will share with you. First of […]
Ephesians has always been my favorite book in the New Testament. It must be the armor thing. That was always a great lesson in Seminary, FHE, Primary, even Gospel Doctrine. There’s just something about being warriors for Christ. As I have grown in understanding of the gospel, I have learned to love Ephesians even more. […]
Joseph Smith taught the women, in those early meetings in Nauvoo, much about the principle of charity. As this is a woman’s sacred calling, we carry the “mantle of charity”. Where have we heard a similar phrase? The men carry the “mantle of the priesthood”. Likewise, we women carry this co-partner. Is that something to […]
I continually share my testimony of how we, as the women in the church, work with the men, to bring to pass the blessings of the priesthood. Too many of us still think that the men ARE the priesthood, which is not doctrine. The men are caretakers of the priesthood. Through this gift, they are […]
There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation. After the Pattern of the Priesthood LDS women, who want the Priesthood and think they should have the Priesthood, don’t […]
Our Visiting Teaching message for March continues in our education about Relief Society history. I’m thrilled that this is the topic of discussion. There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, […]
The doctrine of the priesthood is the key to working effectively in the Church. What is the doctrine of the priesthood? Let’s look at D&C 121:45. This section of the Doctrine and Covenants was received by the Prophet Joseph Smith near the end of a four-month stay in the horrible Liberty Jail. He was told […]
Although we usually think of only the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood, the three grand orders of priesthood which Joseph Smith spoke of at the temple grove on August 27th, 1843, include the Levitical Priesthood (held by Aaron [under Moses] for the preparatory outward ordinances and the gathering of Israel), the Patriarchal Priesthood (held by Abraham with […]
I have learned so much from writing on this blog, it’s ridiculous. Who knew that there was so much history to learn about Mormon women? Okay, yes, I know there are people who are far more studied than I am, and there is much more information out there to uncover, analyze, and learn from, and […]
