• Gospel truths serve as the foundation of learning and teaching
• Brigham Young never lost sight of his greatest priority: prophet, seer, and revelator
• Grow in grace and knowledge from day to day, year to year
• Every minute we should strive to improve our lives
• Spiritual and temporal aspects of the gospel are one in the sight of God
• The practical teachings are the priority
• The simple things: prayer
• Seek the Lord until you open a pathway between God and your soul
• Ask God to put you where He wants you, and what He wants you to do
• He has provided us a way to know
• "There is no other resource to compare with prayer." - President Hinckley
• He has made it an easy as possible to communicate with Him
• Answers to prayer are not always so easy to recognize
• When He brings our heart and mind in harmony, then we have received the spirit of revelation.
• Don't let any earthly circumstance hurry you through prayer
• Trust in Him; leave the matter in the Lord's hands
• Do not try to predict how the Lord will answer prayers
• Enquire what we can do for ourselves
• Sometimes fasting is needed to answer a prayer
• Naaman was made clean after he was humbled
• Any calling, faithfully filled, can have inestimable results
• The small things of the Gospel, alone, do little, but together, they will become strong. It's like concrete - each of the elements that make it, by themselves cannot support a foundation
• The Gospel is very simple, and very profound
• The religion of Jesus Christ is a matter-of-fact religion
• Christ is practical
• The Gospel requires our very best efforts
