By Study & By Faith
Gathering in Divine Communities
The gathering of Israel happens in communities: families, religious congregations, and BYU. Each community helps us become more like God.
Strength and Safety Through Gathering
We can experience strength and safety as we follow the Lord's guidance to gather together often with our fellow saints.
Both Feet Forward
When communicating our beliefs, we should be authentic, humble, loving and put both feet forward by bearing our testimonies unafraid.
“And They Did Fellowship One with Another”
There may be lonely individuals around us. To feel true happiness, fellowship or befriend others and serve them.
The Skills of a Saint
Many desirable skills can be acquired in this life, and each takes diligent practice to master. As Saints, our skills play a crucial role in God's plan.
The Heart and a Willing Mind
Donald L. Hallstrom encourages us to learn to love God with our hearts and with a willing mind, to dedicate ourselves to Him and His service.
The Watchman on the Tower
The Watchman on the Tower is the story of a loving nobleman who instructs his servant to watch over his olive trees. This story has great application today.
Knowing, Doing, and Being
At times we will learn first and be tried later; at other times the Lord will try us first and then teach us from the trials. But in spite of the sequence, I pray that we will move forward with faith in and love for the Lord—even while not knowing beforehand what lies ahead.
To Act in Holiness Before the Lord
As we practice holiness by making it a daily priority, serving others, and noticing opportunities for holiness, we become more Christlike.
“Serve the Lord with Gladness”
Make a joyful noise and serve the Lord with gladness—every talent and calling helps build God’s kingdom and brings joy in His service.
“The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength” (Nehemiah 8:10)
The joys of mission, of the senses, and of contemplation and anticipation help us to find happiness throughout mortality.
Of Pioneers and Prophets
The legacy left behind by our pioneer ancestors—a legacy shared by converts and "pioneer stock" alike—is one that will continue to stand the test of time.
Your Time on Earth: When Would You Have Chosen to Come?
If you could choose one time in the history of the Church to be a part of, which would it be? Do we understand how important our own time is?
Be a Believer and Keep the Faith
Obeying God's commandments requires concerted effort. Delbert L. Stapley encourages each student to be a believer and keep the faith throughout their lives.
Blessings We Receive Through Membership in the Church
Many blessings and the freedoms we enjoy come through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ—seen in faith, family, temples, and God's miracles.
