Elders Quorum
Lesson was pulled from Elder Oaks October 2007 talk, “Good, Better, Best”.
We have a long list of things that we should be doing in the Church. How do we not get overwhelmed by that? Sometimes we over complicate what we are responsible for. We don't have to do all things we are responsible for all at the same time.
“In general conference last year, Elder M. Russell Ballard warned against the deterioration of family relationships that can result when we spend excess time on ineffective activities that yield little spiritual sustenance. He cautioned against complicating our Church service ‘with needless frills and embellishments that occupy too much time, cost too much money, and sap too much energy. … The instruction to magnify our callings is not a command to embellish and complicate them.
