On Being Genuine


"The Savior would want to know how you and I 
grow closer to Him and to our Heavenly Father."

"Here in the Church of Jesus Christ 
you can mature spiritually and 
draw closer to the Savior 
by applying gospel principles day by day."

"The Church is not an automobile showroom—a place to put ourselves on display so that others can admire our spirituality, capacity, or prosperity. 
It is more like a service center, where vehicles in need of repair 
come for maintenance and rehabilitation."

Continuing Revelation

Human judgment and logical thinking 
will not be enough to get answers to 
the questions that matter most in life. 

We need the continuing blessing of communication with God.

Personal revelation ... does not come easily, nor does it come simply for the asking. The Lord gave this standard for the capacity to receive such witnesses from God. It is a guide for anyone seeking personal revelation, as we all must.
“Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distill upon thy soul as the dews from heaven ... The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion.”

Approaching the Throne of God with Confidence

Hearken (heark·en)
     1.    listen
     2.     to give respectful attention
     3.    to hear and obey the Lord

By applying the Atonement of Jesus Christ, 
you can begin increasing your spiritual confidence today.

1.    Take responsibility for your own spiritual well-being.
2.    Take responsibility for your own physical well-being.
3.    Embrace voluntary, wholehearted obedience as part of your life.
4.    Become really, really good at repenting thoroughly and quickly.
5.    Become really, really good at forgiving.
6.    Accept trials, setbacks, and “surprises” as part of your mortal experience.
