Teachings of Presidents of the Church, Gordon B Hinckley, Chapter 1

Young Adult Devotional
Sister Wendy W Nelson, “Love and Marriage”
“ So, here are Aunt Wendy’s four truths about love and marriage:
Truth #1: Truths about love and marriage are brought to you by the Holy Ghost from our Heavenly Father
Truth #2: Personal purity is the key to true love.
Truth #3: As an important part of the expression of their love, the Lord wants a husband and wife to partake of the wonders and joys of marital intimacy.
Truth #4: For true marital intimacy, the Holy Ghost needs to be involved.

President Russell M Nelson, “Prophets, Leadership, and Divine Law”
You are the future leaders of the Lord’s Church! Are you ready to take the reins of leadership?

When I spoke to you a year ago, I challenged you to rise up as the true millennials you were born to be. You are to help prepare the world for the millennial reign of the Savior by helping to gather the elect from the four quarters of the earth, so that all who choose to do so may receive the gospel of Jesus Christ and all of its blessings. Tonight I want to speak to you about how you can prepare.”

President Nelson stated that he had known 10 of the 16 presidents of the Church.  He talked about several things of each of them.

I work as hard as I can and do everything within my power. And I try to keep the commandments. Then I let the Lord make up the difference.” (Ezra Taft Benson, in Dew, Ezra Taft Benson, viii.)

I promise that as you keep God’s commandments, as you live by His laws, you will become increasingly free. This freedom will unveil to you your divine nature and allow you to prosper personally.”
