Church Services This Week at Ridge Crest Ward Northridge Stake Layton Utah 31 January 2016

Joint RS/Priesthood/Youth

“The more we incline our hearts and minds toward God, the more heavenly light distills upon our souls. And each time we willingly and earnestly seek that light, we indicate to God our readiness to receive more light. Gradually, things that before seemed hazy, dark, and remote become clear, bright, and familiar to us.

“By the same token, if we remove ourselves from the light of the gospel, our own light begins to dim—not in a day or a week but gradually over time—until we look back and can’t quite understand why we had ever believed the gospel was true. Our previous knowledge might even seem foolish to us because what once was so clear has again become blurred, hazy, and distant.”(President Dieter F Uchtdorf, “Receiving a Testimony of Light and Truth”, October 2014 General Conference)

2 Nephi 26:22

22 And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old, according to the combinations of the devil, for he is the founder of all these things; yea, the founder of murder, and works of darkness; yea, and he leadeth them by the neck with a flaxen cord, until he bindeth them with his strong cords forever.

Sacrament Service

“If you have been a constant friend, if you have proved your love by service and so become trusted, they may turn to you with that question. When they do, you can say, knowing that their hearts are prepared, ‘Yes, there is, and I can tell you where it is and what you can do to find it.’“ (Elder Henry B Eyring, “To Touch a Life With Fatih”, October 1995 General Conference)
