Young Men Lesson 44: Preparing Now for Temple Marriage
I hope each one of you becomes a man of God. You will become a man of God through righteous works. Brethren, tonight I would like to talk to you as I would to my grandsons. I hope that what I have to say will apply to all young priesthood holders everywhere. As I think of this large congregation and...
Young Men Lesson 43: Spiritual Preparation for a Mission
Be certain that you easily clear the minimum standards for service as a missionary and that you are continually raising the bar. I was privileged last month to be assigned to attend a seminar with the mission presidents from the North America West Area. Among the mission presidents in...
Young Men Lesson 42: Follow the Brethren
For the Church to be His Church, there must be a Quorum of the Twelve who hold the keys. Shortly after the death of President Gordon B. Hinckley, the 14 men, Apostles, who had had conferred upon them the keys of the kingdom, gathered together in the upper room of the temple in order to reorganize...
Young Men Lesson 41: The Sacrament: In Remembrance of Him
Partaking of the sacrament provides us with a sacred moment in a holy place. I had the opportunity a year or two ago of visiting the Logan Utah Institute of Religion. The building where the institute meets was recently remodeled. I was told that as the workers removed the old pulpit from the chapel,...
Young Men Lesson 40: Avoiding and Overcoming Temptation
I am grateful for the testimony of our prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. On behalf of all members throughout the world, I express gratitude that he chose to follow the inspiration of the Lord and asked us to read the Book of Mormon. We have been abundantly blessed by his inspired counsel....
Young Men Lesson 39: Moral Courage
Some time ago I had a delightful conversation with an impressive 16-year-old young woman. I discovered she was the only member of the Church in her high school. I asked her, “What is the most difficult challenge you face being the only member?” She was thoughtful and gave a very astute...
Young Men Lesson 38: Living Righteously in an Unrighteous World
A knowledge of truth is of little value unless we apply it in making correct decisions. Since truth is the only meaningful foundation upon which we can make wise decisions, how then can one establish what is really true? Increasingly more people are finding that making wise decisions is becoming...
Young Men Lesson 37: Understanding Women's Roles
There is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood. Brothers and sisters, recently my wife, Barbara, had back surgery and could not lift, twist, or bend. Consequently, I have done more lifting, twisting, and bending than ever before—and it has made me more...
Young Men Lesson 36: In Everything Give Thanks
“O remember, remember,” Book of Mormon prophets often implored. My point is to urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God’s kindness. I was grateful for the choir in their broadcast this morning, which was about the Savior, and grateful to see that the words of one of the songs they...
Young Men Lesson 35: Obeying, Honoring, and Sustaining the Law
Neither mobbings nor the army could turn the Saints aside from what they knew to be true. It is my purpose to show that in troubled times the Lord has always prepared a safe way ahead. We live in those "perilous times" which the Apostle Paul prophesied would come in the last days.1 If we are to be...
Young Men Lesson 34: The Power of Example
It is our duty to live our lives in such a way that we may be examples of righteousness. Tonight I am aware that you, my brethren, both here in the Conference Center and in thousands of other locations, represent the largest gathering of the priesthood ever to assemble. We are a part of the greatest...
Young Men Lesson 33: Seek Ye Learning
With this priesthood comes a great obligation to be worthy of it. Brethren, you look like a shirtsleeve priesthood. You look all dressed in white, ready to go to work. And the time has come to go to work. What a remarkable sight this is. This great Conference Center is filled to capacity, and...
Young Men Lesson 32: Cultivating Gifts of the Spirit
Spiritual gifts are given as a blessing and benefit for those who love God and keep His commandments. The phrase "return with honor" is a very clear description of the purpose of life here in our mortal probation. In our premortal state in heaven, we lived in the presence of God the Father; His Son,...
Young Men Lesson 31: Forgiveness
If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being. My dear brothers and sisters and friends, I come before you humbly and prayerfully. I wish to speak on the healing power of forgiveness. In the...
Young Men Lesson 30: Charity
When we reach out to assist the least of Heavenly Father’s children, we do it unto Him. Brethren and sisters, I would like to ask one very important question. What quality defines us best as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Today I would like to speak about the...
