Devotional by President Henry B. Eyring | November 22, 2022
"I have felt today, and in the many times I have come to this place, that people here have lived to qualify for [the gift of the Holy Ghost.] That is why it feels to me as if I am in a sacred time and in a sacred place. The feeling in this place must draw from us a deep gratitude for those who came before us. Many of you know far better than I what transpired in the past, and what you need to do to leave that gift for those who follow."

"Today’s mists of darkness are the philosophies of the world that lead us away from spiritual truths. They are insidious and are often hidden in so-called “well-meaning” questions. They often try to manipulate our righteous desires, to turn them to support or uphold ideas in conflict with the Gospel. They may be arguments to justify choosing a political or social position over the recommendations or teachings of the prophet or the scriptures."

Devotional by Sheri Dew | November 1, 2022
"Apostles are under divine mandate to teach truth, even when truth is unpopular. They are pressured to change the Lord’s doctrine to make it more palatable, but the doctrine doesn’t belong to them and is not theirs to change. They’re accused of being out of touch, but I know of no group who is more in touch with the realities and complexities of life."

"God, our Father, your Heavenly Parent, in all His love and wisdom has handcrafted a blanket of covenants, commandments, and promised blessings to warm us, keeping us comfortably safe in a sometimes uncomfortable, cold world! Are we using the gift the way it was intended? Or has it been put on the shelf, collecting dust? The wear and tear of keeping commandments are pleasing to God. He sees this as an acceptance of His gift! Using it helps us to come to know Him, love Him, and appreciate the supreme designer’s hands."
