To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Happy Easter, everyone!! As usual, the Easter Bunny is an alternate figure the world places at the forefront of our holiday celebrating, but how perfect to be able to discuss the Atonement and Resurrection as we celebrate probably the most glorious and special holidays honored in the year. The Pinnacle of the Plan Our […]
Joseph Smith is the prophet of the Restoration. I know this to be true. What he did, no ordinary man could have done, yet he was ordinary. Having accepted this calling from the Lord, Joseph was given strength and ability to do what was necessary. How grateful I am for the choices he made that […]
This Howard W. Hunter lesson is an important one and it struck me deeply. The question that I had to ask myself was, “Do I really believe?” Do I really believe that God loves me, watches over me, cares about me, or even wants me? Do I really believe Jesus Christ when He […]
It seems that more and more often, we’ll hear people complain about the adversity around them. “Why is life so hard?” “Why did that have to happen?” “Why is there so much suffering in the world?” “Why me?” “Why isn’t it fair?” We need to remember that adversity is an important component of the Plan […]
I might have to come back to this lesson regularly to review what I’ve learned about peace. We live in a world that makes a special point to remove peace from our lives, so I must consciously seek to bring it back. We live in a fast-paced, violent-loving, action-packed environment and often brag about how […]
I decided that I wanted to study the gospel more in depth this year. I will thoroughly enjoy reading the Book of Mormon again, in its entirety, but I also wanted to add gospel topic study, so this year I am going to take the Relief Society lessons and study them in depth. These […]
The daily pursuit of seeking the Spirit helps us focus on spiritual things where we are able to subdue the natural man, live worthy lives, and enter into the House of the Lord where we are spiritually and eternally healed. If Pres. Benson said the following phrase four times alone in this lesson, he must […]
Five talks, during the October 2014 General Conference, were given that specifically stated we must keep our eyes on the living prophet. We have to ask why that message was given to us over and over again that weekend and in this lesson–and always. I believe the answer is that by listening and obeying the prophet, […]
Joseph Smith said that the Book of Mormon would bring a man “nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book” (141). That is a pretty powerful statement. In the lesson, one member, taking seriously the challenge to read the Book of Mormon said, “While the bible helped me know […]
Out of all our scriptures, we are under condemnation to “give heed to” the Book of Mormon (pg. 125). If we don’t give heed, D&C 84 warns: “And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant…” (D&C 84:57). We have to address some very serious questions here. Why […]
