We should seize every opportunity to share the teachings of Jesus Christ with children. These teaching moments are precious and far fewer compared to the relentless efforts of opposing forces. For every hour spent instilling doctrine into a child’s life, there are countless hours of opposition filled with messages and images that challenge or ignore […]
Birthright!… We are talking about the inheritance you receive as a joint heir with Christ because of the covenant relationship you have chosen to enter with Him and your Father in Heaven…. Does your birthright mean you are better than others? No, but it does mean you are expected to help others be better. Does […]
I promise you this will be a decade never to be forgotten for you if you embrace these four divinely appointed responsibilities…. First, live the gospel of Jesus Christ…. Second, reach out in compassion to care for those in need…. Third, invite all to receive the gospel…. Fourth, unite families for eternity. – Gary E. […]
Even though our salvation depends on returning to Him often and resting from the cares of the world, we do not.

They have been taught in this conference and will forever be taught: “Love the Lord thy God [and] love thy neighbour as thyself.” If we are to follow the Savior faithfully in these two crucial and inextricably linked rules, we ought to hold firmly […]
Ancient voices from the dust plead with us today to learn this everlasting lesson: prosperity, possessions, and ease constitute a potent mixture that can lead even the righteous to drink the spiritual poison of pride. – David A. Bednar, “In the Space of Not Many Years,” Liahona (CR) November 2024
My friends, repentance is joy! Sweet repentance is part of a daily process through which, “line upon line, precept upon precept,” the Lord teaches us to live a life centered in His teachings.
