To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
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 […]
At BYU’s Women’s Conference (2015), I was overwhelmed with thoughts from the theme, which was Covenants. Are you a covenant keeper? What does it really mean to keep the covenants I have made with my Father in heaven? Do I even really understand what covenants I’ve made and what it takes to live by them? Covenant […]
Ezra Taft Benson is known as the prophet who emphasized the reading of the Book of Mormon. He is described as having the ability to “cut through detail and get to the heart of the issue” (p. 115.) That is exactly what scripture does for us in this confusing world. There are only three […]
Every month we have the blessing of binding ourselves to another person when we visit teach. This is an opportunity to find out things you have in common, strengthen one another in the trials we all are facing, and simply realize that we are not alone. I hope that when you go visiting teaching […]
I find that the Presidents of the Church lessons are difficult to teach. For example, this lesson is on Joseph Smith. We have had many lessons on this wonderful prophet. This lesson simply tells us what Pres. Benson thought and preached of him. I predict teachers will simply go through the motion of reading through […]
Gone are the days of Teacher Development classes and Inservice. Even Visiting Teaching Training has gone by the wayside. I ran across a talk, given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland that should be studied and cherished by every teacher of gospel study. I hope it touches you as much as it has me. The original […]
For me, conference was amazing. It hasn’t always been like this. There were times I would go to sleep during the talks, and worse, never read them in the Ensign. That story Pres. Uchtdorf told about the guy who asked his Mormon friend what the prophet had recently said, and the Mormon friend had no […]
The talks given at the Women’s Session of General Conference spoke of strengthening our families in spite of what the world teaches and pressures us to believe. We have power as mothers, wives, sisters, women, and daughters of God. After this conference, combined with what will be stated in the General Sessions this weekend, I […]
Regret is a very depressing word. We all experience it. It comes from mistakes that we have made, but aren’t quite ready to own up to. Regret comes from not forgiving ourselves. It comes, and is relentless, as we attempt to change, but fall victim to our own impatience and feelings of unworthiness. Regret takes […]
I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about it’s history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store, as we become participators […]
