“A Father's calling is eternal, and its importance transcends time. It is a calling for both time and eternity.“ (President Ezra Taft Benson, “To the Fathers in Israel”, October 1987)
Sacrament Service
First Speaker
I can say, “I love you”, but if my actions say something different, what does that mean?
“One day you will have a personal priesthood interview with the Savior” (President David O McKay, 1965 statement made to a group of Church Employees)
The most precious things in life are not things.

“One Wednesday I paused before the elegant show window of a prestigious furniture store. That which caught and held my attention was not the beautifully designed sofa nor the comfortable-appearing chair that stood at its side. Neither was it the beautiful chandelier positioned overhead. Rather, my eyes rested upon a small sign that had been placed at the bottom right-hand corner of the window. Its message was brief: “Finishers Wanted.”
“The store had need of those persons who possessed the talent and the skill to make ready for final sale the expensive furniture that the firm manufactured and sold. “Finishers Wanted.” The words remained with me as I returned to the pressing activities of the day.
“In life, as in business, there has always been a need for those persons who could be called finishers. Their ranks are few, their opportunities many, their contributions great.” (Elder Thomas S. Monson, “‘Finishers Wanted’”, April 1972 General Conference)
Next Speaker
We should try to be self-reliant while still relying on God.
“The Church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thoughts, or have perfect feelings. The Church is a place where imperfect people gather to provide encouragement, support, and service to each other as we press on in our journey to return to our Heavenly Father.” (Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, “The Virtue of Kindness”, April 2005 General Conference)
Mosiah 3
19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.

1 Samuel 1:26-28,2:12-17,3,8:1-7, Mosiah 2
Eli’s sons took the best part of the offering for the self instead of taking what the leftovers, as was required.
Eli allows his sons to continue doing evil and does not remove them from their office. Church members were beginning to stop bringing offerings and stopped coming to services because it wasn't safe to have their families around them.
3 Nephi 9:19-20
19 And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.
20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.
