Thanksgiving - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Quote By: Joseph B. Wirthlin
Topic: Thanksgiving
Quote: Living in thanksgiving daily is a habit that will enrich our lives and the lives of those we love. But how do we make this part of who we are? May I suggest three things that will help as we strive to live in thanksgiving daily?
First, we must open our eyes.
The second thing we can do is open our hearts.
The third thing we can do to live in thanksgiving daily is open our arms.

Remember and Never Do - Claudio D. Zivic

Topic: Remember and Never Do
Quote: After repenting for not following God’s counsel, the Prophet [Joseph Smith] received the revelation that is found in section 3 of the Doctrine and Covenants. From what is written in verses 1 to 10, I wish to highlight three principles that we should always remember:
1. The works and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated.
2. We must not fear man more than God.
3. There is a need of constant repentance.
In verse 13, the Lord teaches us four actions that we should never do:
1. Set at naught the counsels of God.
2. Break the most sacred promises made before God.
3. Depend upon our own judgment.
4. Boast in our own wisdom.

Quote By: Priesthood
Topic: Henry B. Eyring
Quote: We need to be priesthood men!  Whether we are young men holding the Aaronic Priesthood or men bearing the Melchizedek Priesthood, we need to be priesthood men, showing spiritual maturity because we have made covenants… We should be different because we hold the priesthood—not arrogant or prideful or patronizing but humble and teachable and meek. Receiving the priesthood and its various offices should mean something to us. It should not be a perfunctory “rite of passage” that automatically happens at certain ages but a sacred act of covenant thoughtfully made.  We should feel so privileged and so grateful that our every action shows it.  If we seldom even think about the priesthood, we need to change.

Resurrection - D. Todd Christofferson

Quote By: D. Todd Christofferson
Topic: Resurrection
Quote: Consider for a moment the significance of the Resurrection in resolving once and for all the true identity of Jesus of Nazareth and the great philosophical contests and questions of life. If Jesus was in fact literally resurrected, it necessarily follows that He is a divine being. No mere mortal has the power in himself to come to life again after dying. Because He was resurrected, Jesus cannot have been only a carpenter, a teacher, a rabbi, or a prophet. Because He was resurrected, Jesus had to have been a God, even the Only Begotten Son of the Father.

Repentance - Claudio D. Zivic

Quote By: Claudio D. Zivic
Topic: Repentance
Quote: If any one of you reaches the point of abandoning the Lord’s way—at any point along that way—with great remorse you will feel the bitterness of having set at naught the counsels of God, of having broken the most sacred promises made before God, of having trusted in your own judgment, or of having boasted in your own wisdom.  If this is the case, I exhort you to repent and come back to the right way.

Holland when he spoke in a priesthood session a few years ago to “get in your face …, nose to nose, with just enough fire … to singe your eyebrows”; but, dear brethren, we need to wake up to how commonly accepted practices in the world choke our power in the priesthood. If we think we can even flirt with pornography or violations of chastity or dishonesty in any form and not have it negatively affect us and our families, we are deceived…  If there are any unresolved sins preventing our worthiness, we need to change.

Prayer - Dawn J. Young

Quote By: Dawn J. Young
Topic: Prayer
Quote: Three little boys were flying a kite in a field away from their homes. It began to rain, and they wanted to save their kite. As they hastily pulled it from the sky, it caught on a tree limb high over their heads. They found a long stick and tried to pull it down, but they couldn’t reach it. They tried everything they could think of to get it down, but the kite just turned and twisted in the storm. One of the boys finally said to the others, “I think we should pray.” The other two looked at him, then followed his lead, bowing their heads while he said the words. As they opened their eyes, they saw a car coming toward them down the road that led to the field. As it neared, the boys stood motionless and almost breathless, staring at the lady driving the car. Their stares fascinated the lady, so she stopped and called to them, “Are you having trouble?” “Yes,” they said. “Our kite is caught on the tree. Will you help us get it down?” “I’ll try,” she said. “Stand away while I back up.” She backed her car to position it under the kite, then she got out, climbed on top of the car, and, with the long stick retrieved the kite. When the boy who had offered the prayer carried his kite into the kitchen, he told his mother about the kite’s getting caught in the tree. She asked, “Who helped you get your kite down?” “Heavenly Father,” he replied. The boy, who had prayed with perfect trust, knew the answer to a prayer when he saw it.

There is no place for fear among men and women who place their trust in the Almighty, who do not hesitate to humble themselves in seeking divine guidance through prayer. Though persecutions arise, though reverses come, in prayer we can find reassurance, for God will speak peace to the soul. That peace, that spirit of serenity, is life’s greatest blessing.

Quote By: Neil L. Andersen
Topic: Repentance
Quote: The Lord's desire that we come unto Him and be wrapped in His arms is often an invitation to repent. The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around to "re-turn" toward God. It is the beckoning of a loving Father and His Only Begotten Son to be more than we are, to reach up to a higher way of life, to change, and to feel the happiness of keeping the commandments.

Quote: The Book of Mormon declares that "every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God."  And "whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil."  Let us use that standard to judge what we read, the music we hear, the entertainment we watch, the thoughts we think.  Let us be more Christlike.

Sabbath Worship - Spencer W. Kimball

Quote By: Spencer W. Kimball

Prophets - Glenn L. Pace

Quote By: Glenn L. Pace
Topic: Prophets
Quote: There are some of our member who practice selective obedience.  A prophet is not one who displays a smorgasbord of truth from which we are free to pick and choose. However, some members become critical and suggest the prophet should change the menu.  A prophet doesn't take a poll to see which way the wind of public opinion is blowing.  He reveals the will of the Lord to us.  The world is full of deteriorating churches who have succumbed to public opinion and have become more dedicated to tickling the ears of their members than obeying the laws of God.

Friendship - Robert D. Hales

Quote By: Robert D. Hales
Topic: Friendship
Quote: Do you know how to recognize a true friend?  A real friend loves us and protects us.  In recognizing a true friend we must look for two important elements in that friendship: A true friend makes it easier for us to live the gospel by being around him.  Similarly, a true friend does not make us choose between his way and the Lord's way.

Obedience - Boyd K. Packer

Quote By: Boyd K. Packer

Revelation - Bruce R. McConkie

Quote By: Bruce R. McConkie
Topic: Revelation
Quote: How to get personal revelation 1) Search the Scriptures.  2) Keep the Commandments.  3) Ask in Faith.  Any person who will do this will get his heart so in tune with the infinite that there will come into his being, from the "still small voice," the eternal realities of religion.  And as he progresses and advances and comes nearer to God, there will be a day when he will entertain angels, when he will see visions, and the final end is to view the face of God.

Temple Work - Richard G. Scott

Quote By: Richard G. Scott
Topic: Temple Work
Quote: Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As you grow older, you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances as well. I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life.

New Insights - Jeffrey R. Holland

Quote By: Jeffrey R. Holland
Topic: New Insights
Quote: New insights always affect old perspectives, and thus some rethinking, rearranging, and restructuring of our worldviews is inevitable. When we look beyond people’s color, ethnic group, social circle, church, synagogue, mosque, creed, and statement of belief, and when we try our best to see them for who and what they are—children of the same God—something good and worthwhile happens within us, and we are thereby drawn into a closer union with that God who is the Father of us all.
