D&C 58:27

27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

How do I help my family have spiritual experiences during the busy summer months?

Consider the impact that asking questions has had on the modern Church and the ancient Church.

Impact on the Modern Church:

1. The First Vision (1820): 14-year-old Joseph Smith questioned which church to join after reading James 1:5. His prayer led to the First Vision, opening the dispensation of the fulness of times and the Restoration of the Church.

2. Revelation on the Degrees of Glory (D&C 76): While translating John 5:29, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon pondered and asked questions about salvation and judgment, resulting in the vision revealing the Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial kingdoms.

Impact on the Ancient Church:

1. The Brother of Jared (Ether 2–3): Facing darkness in the barges, the Brother of Jared asked the Lord how to obtain light. The Lord invited him to propose a solution, leading to the Brother of Jared asking the Lord to touch sixteen stones and seeing the physical finger and spirit body of Jesus Christ.

2. The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15): Early Church leaders questioned whether Gentile converts needed to observe the Law of Moses (specifically circumcision). Pondering this question led the Apostles to receive revelation that opened gospel salvation directly to Gentiles without Mosaic rites.

The speaker referenced Elder Clark G. Gilbert's talk from last general conference, “Come Home”.
