President Faust

James E. Faust told of an experience he had some time ago when a car with an out-of-state license plate stopped him in

his walk and asked, “Where is the church of the Mormons?”

He directed them to Temple Square, but said, in retrospect, “I could have pointed to my chest and said that the Church should be first and foremost in our hearts.”

Jeremiah 31

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Question- Shouldn’t this read:

THEY will put the law on their inner parts?

Ezek. 36:26,27

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”

Father of King Lamoni

What shall I do that I may have this eternal life of which thou has spoken?

Yea born of God, having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast, and receive his Spirit that I may be filled with joy…

Question

How did the Anti-Nephi-Lehies Do?

…thousands were brought to the knowledge of the Lord…and as many as believe…and were converted…never did fall away.

Distinguishing Characteristicsof a changed heart

And they were also distinguished for their 1) zeal towards God, 2) and also towards men;

for they were perfectly honest and upright in all things;

and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end.

President Snow

We must dedicate our time, talents, and ability. If we as elders fail to keep the covenants we have made, namely, to use our time, talents, and ability for the up building of the kingdom of God upon the

earth, how can we reasonably expect to come forth in the morning of the First Resurrection, identified with the great work of redemption?

If we in our manner, habits and dealings, imitate the Gentile world, thereby identifying ourselves with the world, do you think, my brethren, that God will bestow upon us the blessings we desire to inherit? I tell you no, He will not! In all our business occupations we must prove ourselves better than any other people, or we forfeit all.

We must build ourselves up in the righteousness of heaven and plant in our hearts the righteousness of God. Said the Lord, through the prophet Jeremiah, "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." This is what the Lord is endeavoring to do, and this He will accomplish in us if we conform to His will.

Four Steps to Youth (and parent) conversion:

1- Desire: [We] must be hungry for truth and learn to ask the right questions

2- Repetition: [We] must hear the doctrines over and over

3- Learning by heart: [We] must fix the truths in [our] minds and hearts

4- Practice: [We] must do; [we] must pray, repent, and keep covenants
