Join us today as we conclude our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week with a closer look at the decent from the Zion society. We discuss how centuries of spiritual progress was destroyed within decades and reflect on the lessons we can take.

Join us today as we continue our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week and invite two guests, Mark and Chris Stuart, again this time to discuss the Zion society that existed immediately after Christ's visit. We discuss what is required to build a Zion society and we reflect on what we have to be cautious about to keep it. 

Joseph B Wirthlin: “Peace is more than a lofty ideal. It is a practical principle that, with conscious effort, can become a normal part of our lives as we deal with matters both large and small. One habit that prevents inner peace is procrastination. It clutters our minds with unfinished business and makes us uneasy until we finish a task and get it out of the way. We are at peace in our Church callings when we do the work at the proper time instead of waiting until the last possible moment.”

A Theodore Tuttle: Now, this blessed condition is attainable today, but it is attainable only upon the basis of accepting God as Father and all men as brothers and living the plan of salvation. My testimony is that this plan, which the Lord introduced in the beginning with Adam, and that has successfully brought about true brotherhood in the past, has been restored; that the priesthood that activates it and operates it is in our midst, and that the leaders thereof in this Church are servants of our Heavenly Father.

Join us today as we continue our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week and invite two guests, Mark and Chris Stuart, to discuss Christ's final interactions we have on record with his disciples. We discuss how our desires can be purified and we reflect on the need we have to stay close to the Lord to do this. 

Neal A Maxwell: “The trust level was so high that our Resurrected Lord let his disciples ask, and it was given not simply because Jesus knew their thoughts, but because true disciples do not use their fervent faith to ask for anything which is not right….If we can achieve a significant milestone in discipleship, we will find that ‘he that asketh in the Spirit asketh according to the will of God; wherefore it is done even as he asketh.’ (D&C 46:30.)…. God only shares his power with those who will not abuse it, nor use it to cover their sins, gratify their pride, ambition, or control other men.”

Join us today as we continue our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week and the Saviour's final words to his disciples. We consider the importance of the church's name and we reflect on the Gospel of Jesus Christ which both indicate His true Church. 

President Russell M Nelson: “Thus, the name of the Church is not negotiable. When the Savior clearly states what the name of His Church should be and even precedes His declaration with, “Thus shall my church be called,” He is serious. And if we allow nicknames to be used or adopt or even sponsor those nicknames ourselves, He is offended.”

Join us today as we begin our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week. We consider the role that fasting and prayer can have in our worship and we reflect on the name of the church. 

President M Russell Ballard: “Because the full name of the Church is so important, I echo the revelations from the scriptures, the First Presidency’s instructions in letters of 1982 and 2001, and the words of other Apostles who have encouraged the members of the Church to uphold and teach the world that the Church is known by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the name by which the Lord will call us at the last day. It is the name by which His Church will be distinguished from all others.”

Join us today as we pause from the Come Follow Me materials we reflect on a few housekeeping items and a determined article by apostle of the Lord, Elder David A Bednar. 

Here is the link to the article discussed: https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders-and-ministry/2020-10-14/elder-bednar-g20-interfaith-forum-address-covid-19-195555

Elder David A Bednar: My call is for respect, accommodation, and cooperation — for creative solutions that mitigate the threat of COVID-19 while not cutting people off from an essential part of their lives.  In many instances, the lack of such respect has backfired, creating suspicion toward government and the undermining of its legitimate efforts to control the pandemic.

Join us today as we continue with our study of this week's Come Follow Me with further words from the Saviour as he shares the words of Malachi. We consider how the Lord blesses us in our trials and we reflect on the promises of obedience, despite shortcomings in life. 

Neal A Maxwell: “The fact that the wicked often seem to profit and do very well in this life may fill us with questions: ‘Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?’ Yet is it not true that ‘the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?’ The Lord Himself confirmed that those who follow the ways of man have ‘joy in their works [but] for a season.’”

Join us today as we continue with our study of this week's Come Follow Me with further words from the Saviour. We consider how important the scriptures are in our lives and we reflect on the Saviour's counsel to keep accurate records. 

Hugh Nibley: “[W]hen [the Lord] came to the Nephites he made a big thing about keeping records. He went through the records himself and made sure that all the prophecies were mentioned. Samuel the Lamanite had prophesied something that was fulfilled. You didn’t put it down here, he says to Nephi. Nephi’s face turned red and he said, Well, we’ll see that it gets put down!. It was very embarrassing, believe me, when the Lord himself was there! But he wants those records complete.”
