April 27, 2021 31. The Beatitudes and YOU
A few years back I was in a Sunday school class where we were talking about the beattitudes. The gospel doctrine teacher shared something with us that I had never personally not paid attention to before. She shared the Bible dictionary definition with us that the beatitudes are interrelated and progressive in their arrangement. It changed my whole understanding of the beatitudes. Join me as I share different insight I’ve gained from learning more about the beatitudes.
“We need not be dismayed if our earnest efforts toward perfection now seem so arduous [difficult] and endless. Perfection is pending. It can come in full only after the Resurrection and only through the Lord. It awaits all who love him and keep his commandments” (“Perfection Pending,” Ensign, Nov. 1995, 88). President Nelson
3 Yea, blessed are the poor in spirit who come unto me, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 And again, blessed are all they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 And blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.
7 And blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
8 And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
10 And blessed are all they who are persecuted for my name’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 And blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake;
12 For ye shall have great joy and be exceedingly glad, for great shall be your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
Meek and Lowly of Heart By Elder David A. Bednar, April 2018

“If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.”

April 13, 2021 27. The 4th WATCH
Mark 6: 45 “And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.” The 4th Watch. https://youtu.be/yJSbnKli_04

April 06, 2021 25. The blessings of the temple
"Every foundation stone that is laid for a Temple, and every Temple completed according to the order the Lord has revealed for his holy Priesthood, lessens the power of Satan on the earth, and increases the power of God and Godliness."
—George Q. Cannon
"We do not come to the temple to hide from or escape the evils of the world. Rather, we come to the temple to conquer the world of evil."
—David A. Bednar
"The temple is a point of intersection between heaven and earth. In this sacred place, holy work will be performed through selfless service and love. The temple reminds me of all that is good and beautiful in the world."
—David A. Bednar
“Understandably, the announcement of each new temple is a source of great joy and a reason to give thanks to the Lord. However, our primary focus should be on the covenants and ordinances that can change our hearts and deepen our devotion to the Savior and not simply on the location or beauty of the building.
The fundamental obligations that rest upon us as members of the Lord’s restored Church are (1) to “Hear Him!” and have our own hearts changed through covenants and ordinances and (2) to fulfill joyfully the divinely appointed responsibility to offer temple blessings to the entire human family on both sides of the veil. With the Lord’s direction and help, indeed we will fulfill these sacred duties.” David Bednar

April 02, 2021 24. Jarom shares his mission preparation and experiences in Detroit Michigan
"You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." Doctrine and Covenants 123: 16 & 17
Jarom received his mission call in the summer of 2018 to Detroit Michigan. After arriving in Detroit in October, Jarom returned home to grow closer to the Savior through repentance. After 4 months at home, he returned to finish his mission. He learned the importance of serving God and showing his love for God through obedience. Join me as Jarom shares wonderful insights he had in preparation for his mission and becoming closer to Jesus Christ throughout his return home and remaining mission.
Repentance
"The Greek word of which this is the translation denotes a change of mind, a fresh view about God, about oneself, and about the world. Since we are born into conditions of mortality, repentance comes to mean a turning of the heart and will to God, and a renunciation of sin to which we are naturally inclined. Without this there can be no progress in the things of the soul’s salvation, for all accountable persons are stained by sin and must be cleansed in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Repentance is not optional for salvation; it is a commandment of God" King James Version of the Bible, Bible Dictionary

March 30, 2021 23. Jesus understands everything that you and I go through in this life. He will succor you.
Over the years, I’ve thought a lot about the Savior and the experiences he had while on this earth. During this episode, I go through several examples from the scriptures of different challenges, trials and difficulties that we experience and how the Savior understand everything that we feel and has experienced it himself. He is going to succor us and comfort us in our time of need. Trust that he understands your feelings, thoughts and challenges. “There is no sin, no guilt, no shame, no fear, no loneliness, no heartache, no loss, no depression, no sadness, no terror, no pain, no challenge, no weakness that Jesus has not experienced and overcome. He has all power over all things. If you turn to Christ and repent of your sins, He will forgive you and cleanse you and change your heart. This is the redeeming power of the Atonement. If you turn to Christ when you face challenges and need capacity beyond your own, He can strengthen you and magnify your capacity. This is the strengthening power of the Atonement.” (Elder Kim Clark, “The Redeeming and Strengthening Power of the Savior’s Atonement”, April 2016 Ensign, Italics added by me)
