Lesson Quotes: President Ezra Taft Benson  “We hear the words of the Lord most often by a feeling. If we are humble and sensitive, the Lord will prompt us through our feelings.” (Ezra Taft Benson, “Seek the Spirit of the Lord,” Ensign, April 1988) President Henry B. Eyring  “A…requirement for frequent companionship and direction from the Holy Ghost is to be clean.  The Spirit must withdraw from those who are not clean…. …If you have difficulty in felling the Holy Ghost, you might wisely ponder whether there is anything for which you need to repent and receive forgiveness. If you have felt the influence of the Holy Ghost today, you may take it as evidence that the Atonement is working in your life.  For that reason and many others, you would do well to put yourself in places and in tasks that invite the promptings of the Holy Ghost.  Feeling the influence of the Holy Ghost works both ways: the Holy Ghost only dwells in a clean temple, and the re...

Doctrinal Mastery Lesson Quotes: President Russell M. Nelson “We can feel joy even while having a bad day, a bad week, or even a bad year! "My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. "When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation … and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. He is the source of all joy. … For Latter-day Saints, Jesus Christ is joy!” ( “Joy and Spiritual Survival,” 81)

Lesson Quotes: David A. Bednar  “The greatest manifestation of God’s love for His children is the mortal ministry, atoning sacrifice, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lesson Quotes: President Spencer W. Kimball "Your story should be written now while it is fresh and while the true details are available… Get a notebook, … a journal that will last through all time…. Begin today and write in it your goings and comings, your deepest thoughts, your achievements and your failures, your associations and your triumphs, your impressions and your testimonies" (Spencer W. Kimball, Teachings, 351) True to the Faith “Like the prophets of old, prophets today testify of Jesus Christ and teach His gospel. They make known God’s will and true character. They speak boldly and clearly, denouncing sin and warning of its consequences. At times, they may be inspired to prophesy of future events for our benefit.” (pg 129) President Spencer W. Kimball “Those prophets I have known are the most loving of men. It is because of their love and integrity that they cannot modify the Lord’s message merely to make people feel comfortable. They are too kind to b...

Lesson Quotes: Joseph Smith “The title-page of the Book of Mormon is a literal translation, taken from the very last leaf, on the left hand side of the … book of plates, which contained the record which has been translated, … and … said title page is not by any means a modern composition, either of mine or of any other man who has lived or does live in this generation” (HC, 1:71). President Ezra Taft Benson “The honest seeker after truth can gain the testimony that Jesus is the Christ as he prayerfully ponders the inspired words of the Book of Mormon. “Over one-half of all the verses in the Book of Mormon refer to our Lord.  Some form of Christ’s name is mentioned more frequently per verse in the Book of Mormon than even in the New Testament.” “He is given over one hundred different names in the Book of Mormon.  Those names have a particular significance in describing His divine nature” (Ezra Taft Benson, “Come unto Christ,” Ensign, Nov. 1987, 83).
