I would like to highlight a few segments. The picture I used is a bit lighthearted, but it is Gordon B Hinckley sitting with Ezra Taft Benson. Gordon B Hinckley read the talk because Ezra Taft Benson was unable to. I am assuming due to health. It is such a powerful talk and could be picked apart and written into a book. But, I’m sure it is a book that no one wants to write because so many elements of this talk cut to the heart. And, there are many so entrenched in their pride and their enmity toward God is so deep that they can not accept this truth.

Point of Safe Return

For the Time Will Come When They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine
Question: “Do you not believe that God inspired the early leaders of this country in the formation of this great nation?”
Answer: “I find no evidence in my studies of God’s hand directing the affairs of mankind in any age.”
Question: “With such a philosophy, how do you stand in front of your congregation each week and teach Christian doctrine?”
Answer: “Oh, it is not difficult. I gather together a representative group of the congregation and whatever is the consensus of this group, this is what I preach.”

The Laws of God by President N. Eldon Tanner
A talk by N Eldon Tanner – The Laws of God – Some time ago a young man said to me, “Why do we have so many laws and rules and regulations? Why can’t we just be free to do what we want to do? The Church teaches that man is that he might have joy, and that the greatest gift of God to man is free agency.”
President Russell M. Nelson – Come Unto Christ
Come unto Christ and “offer your whole [soul]” to Him. This is the secret to a life of joy!

President Russell M. Nelson – Jesus Christ Took Upon Himself
Jesus Christ took upon Himself your sins, your pains, your heartaches, and your infirmities. You do not have to bear them alone! He will forgive you as you repent. He will bless you with what you need. He will heal your wounded soul. As you yoke yourself to Him, your burdens will feel lighter. If you will make and keep covenants to follow Jesus Christ, you will find that the painful moments of your life are temporary. Your afflictions will be “swallowed up in the joy of Christ.”

Priesthood ordinances and covenant promises allow God to sanctify us and then work wonders in our lives.

Elder Karl D. Hirst – The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved
John describes himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” as if that arrangement were somehow unique. I like to think that this was because John felt so completely loved by Jesus. God’s Favourite (churchofjesuschrist.org)
