To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Are we preparing for more changes we’ll see in the church, this new year of 2020? You can bet there will be some. Our devotion to God will be seen in how we keep up with our prophet. Elder Neal A. Maxwell spoke, in October 1986, about what “God Will Yet Reveal,” and we are […]
It may be a little early to start thinking about this, but what will be your main focus next year? In the April 1986 General Conference, newly sustained President Ezra Taft Benson closed with a stirring talk that (as usual!) lines up so easily with what we need to hear today. He starts with these […]
President Thomas S. Monson will forever be known as a master of listening to the Spirit and acting on His promptings. President Nelson has asked us to create our own experiences by learning how to use personal revelation in our own lives. We live in a day where true safety, love, and worthiness will come […]
I just realized that I passed right over October 1978’s conference when it was ratified that all worthy men can receive the priesthood—and I apologize. This was a big moment in our history and it was displayed beautifully this past week in the Be One celebration at the Conference Center. If you missed it, you […]
This past weekend we had Stake Conference. I was reminded just how simple the gospel is and what is required of each of us. Knowing truth really is happiness. Satan wants to destroy our happiness and Jesus Christ eagerly offers us that happiness. In the October 1978, Sunday afternoon, session of conference, Bruce R. McConkie […]
After reading this session of conference (April 1974, Sunday morning), I learned something that makes me see revelation differently. Revelation is holding the hand of God. We have prayer and faith and ordinances and all parts of this mighty gospel as various ways of connecting with our loving Heavenly Father, but I think revelation is where […]
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 […]
We’ve had a little time to digest the new Handbook. All of us can look at it, because it’s online at www.lds.org. I think it’s significant that it’s available to all of us. We are all expected to be active members of this Church. Understanding “The Church Plan” allows all of us to get involved […]
There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation Personal Revelation Without sounding boastful, it is understood that women are naturally closer to the Spirit. Our innate ability toward […]
Many of you are finding the Relief Society Declaration, for the first time, on this site. This Declaration was given to us by Sis. Mary Ellen Smoot, in 1999, during her Presidency. It is a wonderful document stating all that we are about. It is a good resource to use when looking for worthy activities. […]
