Arms of Safety
A Way of Life, Elder Jay E. Jensen I speak this evening about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and its relevance to the administration of the sacrament by the holders of the Aaronic Priesthood, taught so powerfully and so beautifully by Elder Oaks this morning. I will use a short scripture phrase that helps me visualize the Savior’s mercy. It is [...]
Resurrection Possible Only Through Jesus
American Scripture And now if Christ had not come into the world, speaking of things to come as though they had already come, there could have been no redemption. And if Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been no [...]
The Savior Suffered For ALL People
American Scripture And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.

Jesus Was Foreordained
Old World Witness For Christ Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but [...]

We Felt To Rejoice — Wilford W. Andersen
A Way of Life, Wilford W. Anderson Years ago I visited Nauvoo, Illinois, with my family. There the early Saints had come seeking refuge. Many had lost their homes and their farms, and some had lost their loved ones to the growing persecution. In Nauvoo they gathered and built a new and beautiful city. But the persecution was relentless, and by [...]
Better Than Psychology — Boyd K. Packer
A Way of Life, Boyd K. Packer We have great concern for young people who grow up without values on which to base their conduct.
