RS Lesson 15: Advancing the Work of the Lord
After several Relief Society lessons on missionary work (12, 13, and 14), reading the title “Advancing the Work of the Lord” initially brought me back to that theme. I also think the term “the work of the Lord” is most often used independently to refer to the growth of the church....

On p. 135 of the manual, Pres. Smith noted that the Church’s members “are esteemed for their virtues” and that critics are quickly divested of their unjustified prejudices, by coming in direct contact with the Latter-day Saints in their daily lives. . . . They then judge us by our fruits,...

Relief Society Lesson 14: How to Share the Gospel Effectively
This lesson has some real gems. My focus will be on truly loving our neighbors and respecting their religious traditions like we want them to respect ours, with a secondary focus on how this helps us share the gospel with those who are seeking.

RS/MP Lesson 12: “An Enthusiastic Desire to Share the Gospel” (George Albert Smith Manual)
I have been asked by church leaders more than a few times something to the effect of, “What do you do to share the gospel?” My answer is always the same… nothing. Well, I don’t really mean nothing, what I really mean is everything. On the other hand, maybe I mean that I do everything and...
RS/MP Lesson 11: “Revelation from God to His Children” (George Albert Smith Manual)
I’ll comment on four quotes that struck me in the lesson. First: If we have erred in our conduct the voice will whisper to us ‘turn back, you have made a mistake; you have disregarded the advice of your Heavenly Father.’ (p. 114) What I like about this comment is that it presumes that...
