“This Is the Way; and There Is None Other Way”
Christ is the only way to eternal life. To become like Him, we must keep His commandments. We need good friends and to be a good friend.
A Time for Laughter
Richard H. Cracroft amusingly discusses the value of humor. Laughter is a gift from God, as is the talent of making others laugh.
Count Your Blessings
Elder Jager lists just some of the blessings we receive by being part of BYU. Count your blessings frequently, and strive to live up to them.
The Inconvenient Messiah
Christ overcame temptation for appetite, glory, and wealth. He did not have a price. His way was inconvenient, and ours will be too if we truly follow Him.
Flaxen Threads
Like flaxen threads, seemingly insignificant habits build up in our lives and become impenetrable. Make wise choices; actions may become habits.
“For Such a Time as This”
We will all experience trials. Hard times do not make us courageous; the decisions we make in response to everyday situations shape our character.
Our Relationship with the Lord
When we speak of our relationship with deity, it is important to remember the closeness and love that God feels for us, yet the reverence we owe Him.
A Creative Mind
If you can cultivate a creative mind in setting and working toward worthy goals, your horizons will expand and your amazing potential will be within reach.
A Law of Increasing Returns
Much less known than the economic law of decreasing returns is the spiritual law of increasing returns. Working and waiting are worth the blessings.
It’s No Fun Being Poor
When money becomes our god, we are poor. One of life’s great lessons is that what we do with what we have is more important than what we have.
