“All That the Lord Hath Spoken We Will Do”
[T]he Lord Himself speaks of us as His treasure…In His benevolent teaching to Moses, the Lord established a pattern of application not only to the ancient children of Israel but to all those who desire to become His treasure—the Lord’s covenant people. That pattern includes two simple but powerful conditions: to obey His voice and to keep our covenants with Him. Then we will be a peculiar, or special, treasure; and as such we will be blessed, strengthened, and favored through the Savior’s atoning sacrifice.

Walking in Covenant Relationship with Christ
To love the Lord centers first on your heart—your very nature. The Lord asks that you love with all your soul—your entire consecrated being—and finally, to love with all your mind—your intelligence and intellect. Love for God is not limited or finite. It is infinite and eternal.
…Love of the Lord is not complete if we neglect our neighbors. This outward love includes all of God’s children... We “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.”

Children and youth are shown, through prophetic words and through living examples, the importance of loving and honoring their parents. Parents are taught ways of building and maintaining close family ties, both in good times and in difficult times
...We hope that by flooding the Church with family-oriented media, members of the Church will be assisted and encouraged to build stronger and better families. We hope it will cause a conscious and sustained effort in building an eternal family unit.

King Benjamin taught his people of the Savior’s advent and Atonement. The Spirit of the Lord wrought...a mighty change in the people...they said, “We are willing to enter into a covenant with our God to do his will, and to be obedient to his commandments … all the remainder of our days”. The king responded, “Because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you...”

How do we hallow the Sabbath day? In my much younger years...I learned from the scriptures that my conduct and my attitude on the Sabbath constituted a sign between me and my Heavenly Father. ...When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, “What sign do I want to give to God?” That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear...what other activities would help to make the Sabbath a delight for you? What sign will you give to the Lord to show your love for Him?

There are some mistakes that may be serious, and if we do not correct them in time, they can permanently lead us off the right path. If we repent and accept correction, these experiences will allow us to humble ourselves, change our actions, and once again draw closer to our Heavenly Father…I pray that we will not lose sight of the way so that we may always be connected with the heavens, so that the currents of the world do not sweep us away... I exhort you to repent and come back to the right way.
