Things That Matter Most
Thomas S. Monson, president of the Church and prophet of the world, counsels us on our relationships with those around us.
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
For God So Loved The World.
Why do we celebrate Christmas? Because God loves us and sent His Son.
Don’t dig back up your trash. Let Christ reclaim you. He’s making beautiful things out of the messes we’ve created.
We are saved by grace. Not by works. Christ doesn’t make UP the difference. Christ makes ALL the difference.
We are not earning anything or repaying Christ for His suffering. We are not earning Heaven, we are learning Heaven.
We have been saved by grace. But have we been changed by grace? We know what Christ saved us from. But do we know what Christ saved us for?
I know that this video is a half hour long but it is worth it.
Happy Easter. Sunday Will Come.
The Resurrection and the Atonement of Christ are the pinnacle events in the history of the world. The darkness and sadness of Christ’s crucifixion did not endure. Christ was resurrected, enabling the resurrection of all mankind. In our lives we will have our dark days, but because of Jesus Christ we can have hope in overcoming our trials and ultimately returning to live with our Heavenly Father.
I invite you to participate with us in the April 2012 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
As Easter approaches let us remember our Savior, Jesus Christ. His life, his sacrifice, and that He has risen!
That He was betrayed.
That He was denied.
That He was accused.
That He was bound.
That He was rejected.
That He was scourged.
That He was mocked.
That He was reviled.
That He was spit upon.
That He was crucified.
That He was forsaken.
That He did His Father’s will.
That He atoned.
That He healed.
That He held His peace.
That He forgave.
That He gave His life.
And that He has risen!
When Bad Things Happen
Sometimes bad things happen- even when we make good choices. We get sick. Loved ones die. We lose our job or home. Our spouse is unfaithful. It’s hard not to ask why God allows us to suffer so much. Know that while God takes no pleasure in your suffering, your difficulties, regardless of their cause, can bring you closer to Him and even make you stronger if you endure faithfully. It’s comforting to know that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, suffered all things. He understands your pain and can help you through your trials. When you have faith in God and His plan, you can be assured that there’s a purpose to all that happens to you here on earth. Our time here is short compared to our eternal life. Coping with calamities can strengthen you and make you more compassionate. It can help you learn, grow and want to serve others. Dealing with adversity is one of the chief ways you’re tested and tutored in your life here on Earth. Our loving Heavenly Father has the ability to compensate us for any injustices we may be called upon to endure in this mortal life. Amazingly, with God’s help you can experience joy even in times of trial, and face life’s challenges with a spirit of peace.
Today at work a student expressed to me that they weren’t creative. This was all I could think of. Don’t ever believe that you can’t be creative. God is your Father.
