    There is also a weekly gathering of the covenant people to the house of prayer on the Lord’s day, that we may “more fully keep [ourselves] unspotted from the world.” It is a gathering to partake of sacramental bread and water in remembrance of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and a time “to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of [our] souls.” As a teenager, I was the only member of the Church in my high school class.

  37. Embrace the Future with Faith Embrace the Future with Faith

    Russell M. Nelson October 2020

    Ulisses Soares October 2018

    Third, new friends must be “nourished by the good word of God.” We can help them to love and become familiar with the scriptures as we read and discuss the teachings with them, providing context to the stories and explaining difficult words.

  49. The Correct Name of the Church The Correct Name of the Church

  54. The Godhead and the Plan of Salvation The Godhead and the Plan of Salvation

  57. The Sacrament Can Help Us Become Holy The Sacrament Can Help Us Become Holy

    Peter F. Meurs October 2016

    The prayers introduce the covenants with the phrase “that they are willing” (Moroni 4:3).

  58. Gratitude on the Sabbath Day Gratitude on the Sabbath Day

    Henry B. Eyring October 2016

  62. Your Next Step Your Next Step

    Randall K. Bennett October 2015

    Each Sabbath day we witness that we are “willing to take upon [ourselves His name], and always remember him, and keep his commandments.” In return for our repentant heart and our commitment, the Lord renews the promised remission of sin and enables us to “always have his Spirit to be with [us].” The Holy Spirit’s influence improves, strengthens, teaches, and guides us.

  63. Why the Church Why the Church

    D. Todd Christofferson October 2015

    Jesus Christ is “the author and the finisher of [our] faith.” Uniting ourselves to the body of Christ—the Church—is an important part of taking His name upon us.

  64. Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying

    Dale G. Renlund April 2015

    Our theology does teach us, though, that we may be perfected by repeatedly and iteratively “relying wholly upon” the doctrine of Christ: exercising faith in Him, repenting, partaking of the sacrament to renew the covenants and blessings of baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost as a constant companion to a greater degree.

  67. Be Strong and of a Good Courage Be Strong and of a Good Courage

    Carole M. Stephens October 2013

    We need baptism.

  69. The Savior Wants to Forgive The Savior Wants to Forgive

    It is true that the power or influence of the Holy Ghost may on occasion be felt, according to the will of the Lord, by any person irrespective of that person’s religious persuasion.

    Quentin L. Cook October 2012

    At baptism we promise to take upon us “the name of [Jesus] Christ, having [the] determination to serve him to the end.” Such a covenant requires courageous effort, commitment, and integrity if we are to continue to sing the song of redeeming love and stay truly converted.

  72. Beware Concerning Yourselves Beware Concerning Yourselves

    Anthony D. Perkins October 2012

    Third, worthily participating in ordinances prepares us to take “the Holy Spirit for [our] guide.” When the Savior warned, “Beware lest ye are deceived,” He promised we will not be if we “seek … earnestly the best gifts” of the Spirit.

    In 1830, in a revelation given through the Prophet Joseph to his wife, Emma, the Lord declared that she should “expound scriptures, and … exhort the church, according as it shall be given thee by my Spirit.” This charge was given not only to Emma, but Joseph clarified that all of the sisters should seek after this gift.

    It is the power of the Spirit that convinces the investigator to pray about our message, to attend church, read the Book of Mormon, schedule further discussions, be baptized into the Lord’s Church, and continue to be “nourished by the good word of God.” We invite all people to come unto Christ through the door of faith, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
