To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Our world is becoming grey, full of mists and clouds, and everyone is being encouraged to follow their own path. Lehi’s dream is the perfect visual for us to see what the world offers, verses what the Lord promises. I choose the Lord. “There is safety for us only on the Lord’s side of the […]
May I just start by saying that this is a great lesson! As I read it, my spirit soared. I was filled with a humble power that I am capable, I am hopeful, and I am blessed. There are women, in the Church, who seek power by demanding what the Lord will not give them. […]
The more I understand about the covenant I make over and over again, when I partake of the Sacrament, the more I feel grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, His atoning sacrifice, and my commitment to Him and the will of my Heavenly Father. We’ve all had multiple lessons on keeping the Sabbath Day […]
It’s pretty amazing to think that the Church, in this last dispensation, started with just six people at its organization. Martin Harris, who was one of the Three Witnesses, had lot’s of money, and supplied the means to publish the Book of Mormon. People were put in Joseph Smith’s path that helped him carry forward […]
Wow! Three lessons in a row about missionary work. Clearly, they did this on purpose. I imagine with three lessons you get three different perspectives and stories about missionary work. I think the most important words to ponder in this lesson are “boldness” and “kindness” (Manual, pg. 147). Face it, it’s scary to set out […]
All of the prophets have spoken boldly of our duty to share the gospel with everyone we associate with. Joseph Smith: “After all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the Gospel.” Brigham Young: “There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission.” […]
Are you guilty of zoning out when there is yet another lesson on missionary work? What more can be said anyway, right? Actually, if you are earnestly studying the scriptures, conscious of your own gratitude to our Heavenly Father, or even magnifying your calling in any way, you are anxious to spread the word of […]
Each lesson begins with an interesting illustration of the topic. The story here tells about how the pilot hears the right sound when he/she is going in the right direction, and the wrong sound when he has veered off. Do we hear the sounds necessary to know what direction we are going? Satan is a […]
Lessons about the scriptures are difficult lessons to teach. Typically teaching ABOUT something is less effective than actually SHOWING or even DOING it. So, I hope this post will inspire you to discover something new that will make you want to read the scriptures for yourself, to discover the wonderful treasure that the word of […]
This lesson on prayer is a sweet reminder of what prayer should be in our lives. Yes, we can talk about how prayer has blessed us, protected us, and helped us to know that God is truly there. I would like to go one step deeper into this most precious blessing in our lives. Pres. Smith’s […]
