As Joseph was in the depths of despair he looked to the heaven and asked God where He was, not doubting His existence, but just wondering when He would intervene. When we struggle, when we go through hard things, it is ok to has God how long we have to go through hard, but it is important that we continue to trust Him and His timetable.  Holland https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/jeffrey-r-hollan...

In this section the Lord reiterates the law of consecration, and gives the saints the new (to them) law of tithing. Understanding the purpose behind these laws is critical to us understanding that God grows and strengthens us as we give Him our all.  Joseph Smith quote- Lectures on Faith page 58

When ever the Lord commands His followers to build something, He gives them a pattern to follow. The same is true as He tries to build US!

Today we discuss the Kirtland Safety Society and why in the darkest times the Lord wanted the saints to worship in a temple. 

Just like the sun rises every morning to chase away the darkness of night, the SON will share His light with all who seek Him. And when we feel it, when we experience it, it is us to us to arise and to share that light with others.

With everything that the saints were going through and struggling with, the Lord took the time to teach them that the proper name of the church was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In our day, the Lord has chastened us and reminded us that we need to use the full name of His church as well. Both in 1838 and today there were probably those who wondered why, with everything else that...

Have you ever had an experience where you did what you thought Heavenly Father wanted you to do, only to have it not work out? Does that mean Heavenly Father lead you wrong? Does it mean that He doesn't care or isn't involved? OF COURSE NOT! But our Father in Heaven loves effort, and sometimes He asks us to try. To put forth our own efforts in solving our problem before He reaches His hand into ou...

Malachi taught that without the sealing keys of the priesthood the whole earth would be wasted. And now, April 3, 1836, the day for those keys to be restored has arrived!

The temple is a place of power because God is anxious to bestow his greatest gifts upon His children. 

The believers in the Savior's day shouted Hosanna to welcome the Savior into Jerusalem and to testify of Him. The early saints perform a Solemn Assembly, including a Hosanna Shout, to dedicate the Kirtland temple. What can you and I do to "dedicate" ourselves to the Lord and invite Him into our lives? Pres. Nelson https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2017/04/drawing-the-pow...

Here in verse 7 Joseph Smith gives us a nice recipe for what to do to build up our faith. 1st, we become diligent seekers 2nd, We make sure that as we seek we are doing so out of the best books. And 3rd, we bring all the faith we can muster to our studies. We should always study in a way that is seeking to confirm faith.  Elder Richard Hinckley https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/richard-g-hinckle...

1,000 saints packed the walls of the Kirtland temple for the dedication March 27, 1836, and even more waited outside, unable to fit indoors. They did it because they had sacrificed everything to build God a house on earth, and that sacrifice lead to deep conversion. They did it because they understood the impact that these priesthood ordinances and these covenants with God would have.  Pres....
