Joy and Mercy

Repenting means giving up all of our practices—personal, family, ethnic, and national—that are contrary to the commandments of God.

Repentance and Change

Elder Dallin H. Oaks delivers a message titled "Spirituality."

Spirituality

The ordinance of the sacrament makes the sacrament meeting the most sacred and important meeting in the Church.

Sacrament Meeting and the Sacrament

The love of God does not supersede His laws and His commandments, and the effect of God’s laws and commandments does not diminish the purpose and effect of His love.

Love and Law

We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.

Good, Better, Best

No Other Gods

Dallin H. Oaks teaches how men and women, though they have different roles, serve and are blessed on the same terms through the priesthood.

Sharing the Gospel

Elder Dallin H. Oaks explains that every person can go to the source of revelation, through prayer, to verify the authenticity of the message taught by modern prophets.

Testing Revelation

Knowledge encourages obedience, and obedience enhances knowledge.
