I used to refer to the Book of Mormon as a history of an ancient civilization before and after the time of Christ; I would never do that now. This book is a compilation of teachings of prophets about the Messiah, and of the Messiah about Himself.

A mission is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience… how can we expect it to be easy for us, when it was never never ever easy for Him!

Brothers and sisters, I believe that if we could truly understand the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we would realize how precious is one son or daughter of God. I believe our Heavenly Father’s everlasting purpose for His children Is generally achieved by the small and simple things we do for one another. At the heart of the English word ‘atonement’ is the word ‘one.’
If all mankind understood this, there would never be anyone with whom we would not be concerned, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or social or economic standing. We would strive to emulate the Savior and would never be unkind, indifferent, disrespectful, or insensitive to others.Speaker: M. Russell BallardPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:44 AMComments: None...

How can we ever repay the debt we owe to the Savior? He paid a debt He did not owe to free us from a debt we can never pay. Because of Him, we will live forever. Because of His infinite Atonement, our sins can be swept away, allowing us to experience the greatest of all the gifts of God; eternal life.
Can such a gift have a price? Can we ever make compensation for such a gift?Speaker: Joseph B. WirthlinPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:35 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

We simply can’t repent of our sins unless we repent of sinning. Unless we change our lifestyle by rooting gout of our nature these deeply-embedded habits and dispositions, we will continue on in a self-deceiving circular process of making and breaking resolutions to change and improve. In other words, we need to change our method of changing ourselves. We need a power source to help us, one which is stronger and more penetrating than the strength and depth of these habits.

The missionary is surrounded by a very powerful, cultural, ‘law of Moses,’ as it were; that is, an external set of expectations, rules, and disciplines. These serve as the ancient law of Moses did – as a schoolmaster to bring the missionaries to Christ or to a higher law, so that they transcend the law of Moses and move into the law of Christ, where they are motivated by love, guided by correct principles, directed by the Spirit.

It takes two to fight, and if one partner does not fight back, soon the other’s angry surliness spends itself. When my wife didn’t punish me, the Lord did in His matchless way, and I ended up apologizing to my wife… For the Lord is not only our advocate with the Father; He is our advocate with all of our Father’s other children, unless we become our own advocate and defender.
