Dear brothers and sisters, those who gain genuine confidence in the covenants made in the house of the Lord through Jesus Christ possess one of the most powerful forces that we can access in this life. – Ulisses Soares, “Covenant Confidence through Jesus Christ,” Liahona (CR) May 2024

Study the talks of our prophet (including the beautiful teachings in the footnotes of his talks, which most conference talks have). He has spoken repeatedly about covenants […]
Consider how your life would be different if priesthood keys had not been restored to the earth.14 Without priesthood keys, you could not be endowed with the power of God.15 Without priesthood keys, the Church could serve only as a significant teaching and humanitarian organization but not much more. Without priesthood keys, none of us would have access to […]

With warmth and reverence, our sacrament and other meetings focus on Jesus Christ. We speak reverently of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, personal and real, not only of atonement in the abstract.
