  * 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
