BYU devotional: Elder Rex D. Pinegar
From June, 12, 2001
- 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
