To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Some talks I run into, as I continue my study of past General Conferences, are so good it’s a wonder they could ever be forgotten. The talks given by our prophets are timeless, true, and it would be wise on our part to heed them no matter how long ago they were given. Pres. Benson’s […]
Have you ever wondered about the adaptations of our Sabbath Day? When I was young, we went to church morning and afternoon on Sundays and had auxiliary meetings during the week. It’s interesting to see how our Sabbath worship has changed over the years. The Church was organized in 1830, but the first Sabbath Day […]
The theme during the October 1985 Women’s session was to draw near unto the Lord. There are five talks featuring how-tos, promises, and testimonies. J. Thomas Fyans—“Draw Near unto Me.” Simply put, we seek Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through the scriptures. We ask through prayer. And we knock through obedience. He closed his […]
Are we willing to act on the words of the First Presidency? I thought I would take a closer look at what they said to women, in last April’s Priesthood session, and in October’s Women session. You may remember that all the members of our First Presidency addressed us in these sessions. This is what […]
As I’ve been reading through the talks from our recent General Conference, I felt inspired to read through the Relief Society Declaration and compare it with the Young Women Theme. Even though they are different organizations, the RS and YW are strikingly similar in purpose and destiny. The Relief Society Declaration was first given to […]
Have you ever taken time to think about why we fast, as a church, on the first Sunday of every month? After reading Howard W. Hunter’s talk on “Fast Day,” in the Sunday afternoon session of the October 1985 General Conference, I began to think about it seriously. I hate to admit it, but I’ve […]
What privileges are we living up to, if we even want them? And why should we seek them? Recently, while going through the Relief Society Magazine, I ran across a talk, given by President Belle S. Spafford, former Relief Society General President. This talk was given during the General Relief Society Conference in 1951. She […]
During our recent conference, a lot of the talks focused on our spirituality. More specifically, our commitments to the covenants we make and how focused we are in staying on the path. In the Sunday morning session of the October 1985 General Conference, Dallin H. Oaks spoke on the topic of Spirituality. This is an […]
A long time ago, in the December 1924 issue of the Relief Society Magazine, an article was published called, “Joseph Smith’s Views of Women.” Here it is word for word: Joseph Smith’s Views of Women It is instructive to remember, on this anniversary of Joseph Smith’s birth, the door his teachings threw open […]
Our temple attendance is how we prepare to recognize, understand, and stand in front of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Recently, I’ve sat in some talks that help us get the most out of our temple experiences. This list is worth pondering and thinking about, and I invite you to do so. Pay Attention There […]
