To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Our world is pretty violent. Is it as violent as Noah’s world, yet? In April 1991, Robert E. Wells gives a talk entitled, “Peace.” I am thankful to run across this talk, and the hope and comfort he brings to me with his words. Elder Wells refers to the Sermon on the Mount. He […]
Probably the most important Relief Society Documents are the Minute Book, the Relief Society Declaration and the Purpose statement. Here’s why: Sarah Kimball was a resourceful sister, living in Nauvoo, wanting to find a way to help build the temple. She and her maid decided to form a sewing group of ladies to make shirts […]
Marriage is an eternal concept. It’s not just for this world. Maybe that’s why the idea of marriage is being attacked by evil forces? Pres. Hinckley talks bluntly about marriage in 1991. A quick comparison between then and now shows a downward trend and a more modern outlook toward marriage. In his talk, President Hinckley […]
I am inspired when I read J. Richard Clarke’s talk, “To Honor the Priesthood,” in the Priesthood session of the April 1991 conference. There is always something for women to learn from priesthood meetings and I learned something from this talk. At the beginning of the year a boy turns 12, they are enfolded into […]
Here is a list of the challenges and invitations Pres. Nelson has given us since being called as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve, up to October 2020, as our prophet. In order to fully participate in the gathering of Israel, he is asking us to become more focused on Jesus Christ by […]
As we approach the two dates in which we remember the births of both Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith, it is interesting to read Francis M. Gibbons talk, “The Savior and Joseph Smith—Alike Yet Unlike.” Elder Gibbons lists several ways in which Jesus and Joseph are alike, such as coming from highly spiritual homes where […]
Anyone remember The Glad Game from Pollyanna? That’s what we need today! Is it really possible to think of things to be grateful for when our world is crashing down all around us? The Glad game (from the book, Pollyanna, written by Eleanor H. Porter), will help us find them and think about them and […]
When President Russell M. Nelson tells us we’re running out of time, I perk up when I run across talks like this one, given by Ardeth G. Kapp, in October 1990. How can we build up our spirituality when life tends to tear us down? Sister Kapp was the Young Woman General President at the […]
Why do our church leaders talk so much about covenants? Why are covenants important? What covenants have I made? What are the blessings and curses of honoring or breaking a covenant? President Boyd K. Packer explains a lot about covenants in his talk, given way back in October 1990. His explanation is even more applicable […]
I find it refreshing to watch as the church makes adjustments to help its membership stay the course. At least, that’s how I see it. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I’m the one who needs course correction. I’m the one who needs to move with the church and […]
