Sacrament Meeting
Dennis Bailey - Repentance
Repentance is one of the first principles of the gospel and is essential to our temporal and eternal happiness. It is much more than just acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart that gives us a fresh view about God, about ourselves, and about the world. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments.
The Lord has declared that “no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven”
(Alma 11:37).
Heleman 12:23 "Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved"
Bro Bailey encouraged all of us to think about our daily lives and each of us look at what areas we need to work on
Jeri Breshears - Strengthening our Testimony by Reading the Book of Mormon
when you are closer to the light it is easier to see, the farther you go from the light the harder it is to see
Many of us are spiritually weak but reading the Book of Mormon everyday it can help us become spiritually strong
Ward choir sang "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"
Closing Speaker - Bishop Taylor
"There is a power in the book [of Mormon] which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. The scriptures are called 'the words of life' (see D&C 84:85), and nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."
(Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Nov. 1986, p. 7)
President Hinckley once shared this story . . . .
I heard a man who was a banker in California tell this story. He said his secretary smoked, constantly smoked. She was addicted to smoking. She could not set it aside. She said to him one day, “How can I stop smoking?” He reached down in his desk and took out a copy of the Book of Mormon and handed it to her. He said, “Now, you read this.”She said, “All right, I’ll read it.” She came back a couple of days later and said, “I’ve read 200 pages, and I didn’t see the word smoking anywhere. I didn’t see the word tobacco anywhere. I saw nothing that referred to it.” He said, “Keep reading.” So she came back another couple of days later and said, “I’ve read 200 more pages—no mention of smoking, no mention of nicotine, no mention of anything associated with tobacco.” He said, “Keep reading.”She came back three or four days later. She said, “I’ve read the entire book. I didn’t see tobacco anywhere; I didn’t see smoking anywhere. But,” she said, “there has come into my heart as a result of reading that book some influence, some power, that has taken from me the desire to smoke, and it is wonderful.”
Come unto Christ through the power of the Book of Mormon
