Here then is the grand key---Follow the prophet---and here are fourteen fundamentals in following the prophet, the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My beloved brothers and sisters. I am honored to be in your presence today. You students are a part of a choice young...
Temple Work: Becoming Saviors on Mount Zion (Wilford Woodruff 18)
We hold the keys of salvation for our ancestors who have died without the gospel. We have heard how the Holy Ghost directs us. I remember years ago in a temple meeting that President David O. McKay suggested that even though you prepare a talk ten days before conference, the Lord can inspire...
Temple Work: Turning Our Hearts to Our Families and to the Lord (Wilford Woodruff 17)
Genealogies, family stories, historical accounts, and traditions ... form a bridge between past and future and bind generations together in ways that no other keepsake can. --Dennis B. Neuenschwander Brethren and sisters, every family has keepsakes. Families collect furniture, books, porcelain,...
Marriage and Parenthood: Preparing Our Families for Eternal Life (Wilford Woodruff 16)
In a society where marriage is often shunned, parenthood avoided, and families degraded, we have the responsibility to honor our marriages, nurture our children, and fortify our families. --W. Douglas Shumway Shortly after I was married, my three brothers and I were sitting in my father's...

Remembering Our Spiritual Heritage (Wilford Woodruff 14)
My beloved brothers and sisters: As I have pondered the social and economic conditions which confront us today, my thoughts have taken me back to our pioneer heritage. Our people have always been challenged by many and varied hardships which have tried our faith. It has been so from the beginning. --Spencer W. Kimball
Journals: "Of Far More Worth than Gold" (Wilford Woodruff 13)
On a number of occasions I have encouraged the Saints to keep personal journals and family records. I renew that admonition. We may think there is little of interest or importance in what we personally say or do--but it is remarkable how many of our families, as we pass on down the line, are interested in all that we do and all that we say. --Spencer W. Kimball
Rich Treasures in the Scriptures (Wilford Woodruff 12)
Principles are concentrated truth, packaged for application to a wide variety of circumstances. A true principle makes decisions clear even under the most confusing and compelling circumstances. It is worth great effort to organize the truth we gather to simple statements of principle. I have tried to do that with gaining spiritual knowledge. The result is now shared in hope that it will be a beginning place for your study. --Richard G. Scott
Praying to Receive the Blessings of Heaven (Wilford Woodruff 11)
What a wonderful feeling of security it was to know I could call upon the Lord, that he was actually my Father in heaven, that he was interested in me, and that he could hear me and answer my prayers. This knowledge has always been a great source of comfort to me. It has given me confidence and strength when I needed it most, and the ability to choose and make with confidence decisions that I could not have made otherwise. --N. Eldon Tanner
Humble Reliance on God (Wilford Woodruff Lesson 10)
King Benjamin seems to teach that becoming like a child is a gradual process of spiritual development in which we are aided by the Holy Ghost and our reliance on Christ's Atonement. Through this process, we will eventually acquire the childlike attributes of meekness, humility, patience, love, and spiritual submissiveness. True humility will inevitably lead us to say to God, "Thy will be done." And because what we are does affect what we do, our submissiveness will be reflected in our reverence, gratitude, and willingness to accept callings, counsel, and correction. --Marlin K. Jensen
Proclaiming the Gospel (Wilford Woodruff 9)
From our testimony of the truth and importance of the restored gospel, we understand the value of what we have been given. From our love of God and our fellowmen, we acquire our desire to share that great gift with everyone. The intensity of our desire to share the gospel is a great indicator of the extent of our personal conversion. --Dallin H. Oaks
Understanding Death and Resurrection (Wilford Woodruff 8)
"The book of Job poses the universal question, 'If a man die, shall he live again?' (Job 14:14). The question of resurrection from the dead is a central subject of scripture, ancient and modern. The resurrection is a pillar of our faith. It adds meaning to our doctrine, motivation to our behavior, and hope for our future." --Dallin H. Oaks
The Atonement of Jesus Christ (Wilford Woodruff 7)
The Atonement and the Resurrection accomplish many things. The Atonement cleanses us of sin on condition of our repentance. Repentance is the condition on which mercy is extended. After all we can do to pay to the uttermost farthing and make right our wrongs, the Savior's grace is activated in our lives through the Atonement, which purifies us and can perfect us. Christ's Resurrection overcame death and gave us the assurance of life after death. --James E. Faust
Teaching and Learning by the Spirit (Wilford Woodruff Lesson 6)
"If we teach and learn in the manner the Lord has prescribed, He will send his Spirit to edify and enlighten us as we do so." --Dallin H. Oaks In the 1831 revelation to the Prophet Joseph Smith known as "the law of the Church," the Lord commanded, "If ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not...
