To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
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 […]
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.

I hope every woman who reads and studies this lesson takes the time to personally go through the scriptures that teach us about Jesus Christ. Please read the actual words that talk of Christ, rejoice in Christ, preach of Christ, and prophesy of Christ (2 Ne 25:26) that wait for you in the Book of […]
Every prophet ever called by God has preached repentance boldly. It is for our sakes they do this. The fact of the matter is that our prophets understand the doctrine of repentance and are desperate for our happiness and welfare. We have been commanded to change for the better, and repentance is the only way […]
Living “joyfully” is a relative thing, don’t you think? And maybe its definition is unique to every person. Yet, I believe a person will find joy when they truly find Jesus Christ and accept His atoning gift. Benson: “The worst destruction I have witnessed was seen today … half-starved women, old men … digging at […]
Heavenly Father’s gift of agency, freedom of choice, is an eternal principle. It is what the war in heaven was all about. Occasionally, I find myself wishing my children didn’t have as much agency as we have all been blessed with. Benson: Agency is “the ability to make important decisions that will have bearing […]
