 artwork by Krista Hamrick Name Above All Names Alphabet by Krista Hamrick Krista Hamrick’s beautiful original art print, Name Above All Names Alphabet, has so inspired me. Each of the 26 individual Names she has identified are so special, as Krista has intricately painted, almost like stained glass windows, each one with its Scripture reference. Krista says, “This is probably the painting that I have most enjoyed researching, designing, redesigning and painting. Beth Willis Miller has expanded upon each name with devotional word studies. By knowing, believing and trusting who God says He is, we can be confident in who He has created us to be.” I so agree with Krista! My heart has been drawn to do a word study for each of the names included in her art print. Krista and I felt led to publish our Name Above All Names Devotional: Focusing on 26 Alphabetical Names of Christ …available now on Amazon as a softcover book and as a Kindle book at this link. Combining the beauty of Krista's artistic excellence with these word study devotionals is perfect for individual quiet reflection or small group Bible studies focusing on the Name Above All Names—Jesus Christ—and His attributes and characteristics. Review by Michele Morin: “The infinite variety in nature, the curious complexity of human behavior, the synchronicity of multiple systems in our own anatomy — and in the solar system — all point, through general revelation, to the nature of God: multi-faceted, magnificent, and yet mysterious. Special revelation in Scripture picks up where creation leaves off, and Beth Willis Miller has teamed up with artist Krista Hamrick to focus on twenty-six pieces of evidence in Name Above All Names Devotional: Focusing on 26 Alphabetical Names of Christ. The result is an alphabetical collection that resembles a twenty-six sided gem, each facet reflecting a slightly different hue of the nature of God the Son. From Alpha and Omega to King of Zion, each devotional highlights the Scriptural basis for the name in multiple translations and then provides commentary on the verses. Beth applies the truth and then invites her readers to join her in a prayer that turns the truth into a paean of praise. No mere academic exercise, the point of Name Above All Names Devotional is threefold: Look up – Meditate on the name and what it reveals about the character of God. Look in – I am propelled to ask galvanizing questions about my discoveries: “Because God is ___________________, I should therefore _______________.” Look out – Let the nature of God impact on every relationship, for your good, and for His glory. With full-color art work and space for notes, Name Above All Names Devotional is a treasure for devotional reading, a resource for serious study, and a thoughtful and inspiring gift for loved ones.” (review by Michele Morin) I was so inspired listening to the anointed Chris Tomlin hymn Indescribable while studying Colossians 1:16… NASB For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. Amplified: For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. Lightfoot: For in and through him the whole world was created, things in heaven and things on earth, things visible to the outward eye and things cognizable by the inward perception. His supremacy is absolute and universal. All powers in heaven and earth are subject to him. This subjection extends even to the most exalted and most potent of angelic beings, whether they are called thrones or dominations or princedoms or powers, or whatever title of dignity men may confer on them. Yes: he is the first and he is the last. Through him, as the mediatorial Word, the universe has been created; and unto him, as the final goal, it is tending. In him is no before or after. He is preexistent and self-existent before all the worlds. Phillips: He existed before creation began, for it was through him that every thing was made, whether spiritual or material, seen or unseen. Through him, and for him, also, were created power and dominion, ownership and authority. In fact, every single thing was created through, and for him. Wuest: because in Him were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the visible things and the invisible ones, whether they are thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities. All things through Him as intermediate agent and with a view to Him stand created. Young's Literal: because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created. By Him all things were created. All things means just that—all things. Even the hill called Golgotha. Even the thorns that pierced His blessed brow. Even the Cross that brought His agonizing death. How great is His love for His creation that He would die for it to redeem it! By Him (en) is literally "in Him", the preposition "in" (Greek = en) denoting that Christ is the sphere within which the work of creation takes place. All the laws and purposes which guide the creation and government of the universe reside in Him. "“By Him” is en autōi, here, not instrumental but locative; “in Him” were all things created." (Wuest) Theologian William E. Vine writes: "In Him” describes Him as the Designer, the One Who, in fellowship with the Father, determined the condition of all things and the laws which govern and control them." Theologian John Eadie writes: "by (in) Him"—We rather hold “that the act of creation rests in Christ originally, and its completion is grounded in Him.” He is not simply instrumental cause, but He is also primary cause. The impulse to create came upon Him from no co-ordinate power of which He was either the conscious or the passive organ. All things were created in Him—the source of motive, desire, and energy was in Him. He was not, as a builder, working out the plans of an architect—but the design is His own conception, and the execution is His own unaided enterprise. He did not need to go beyond Himself, either to find space on which to lay the foundation of the fabric, or to receive assistance in its erection.” Theologian Charles F. Moule explains: "In other words, the mighty fact that all things were created was bound up with Him, as its Secret. The creation of things was in Him, as the effect is in its cause." Pastor Marvin Vincent says: “In is not instrumental but local; not denying the instrumentality, but putting the fact of creation with reference to its sphere and center. In Him, within the sphere of His personality, resides the Creative will and the creative energy, and in that sphere the creative act takes place. Thus creation is dependent on Him. The (definite) article (ta panta = "the things") gives the collective sense—the all, the whole universe of things. Without the article it would be all things severally.” Note the emphatic repetition of "all things" which would include the seen and the unseen world! The universe of things, not all things severally, but “all things collectively.” The phrase literally reads "the all things.” Seven times in six verses Paul mentions “all creation,” “all things” and “everything,” thus stressing that Christ is supreme over all.” Were created (ktizo) in the New Testament is always used of an act of God creating something out of nothing. Paul affirms that creation was a real event in time! Were created is the aorist tense, which points to the definite historical act of creation. Theologian Charles F. Moule writes: “The Greek verb ktizo denotes the making, constituting, of a new state of things. As a Divine operation, such “creation” is the ordering by sovereign will of the material (of whatever kind) which by that will exists.” Theologian John Eadie writes: “The aorist tense characterizes creation as a past and perfect work. Creation is here in the fullest and most unqualified sense ascribed to Christ, and the doctrine is in perfect harmony with the theology of the beloved disciple. The work of the six days displayed vast creative energy, but it was to a great extent the in bringing of furniture and population to a planet already made and in diurnal revolution, for it comprehended the formation of a balanced atmosphere, the enclosure of the ocean within proper limits, the clothing of the soil with verdure, shrubs, trees, and cereal grasses—the exhibition of sun, moon, and stars, as lights in the firmament—the introduction of bird, beast, reptile, and fish, into their appropriate haunts and elements—and the organization and endowment of man, with Eden for his heritage, and the world for his home. But this demiurgical process implied the previous exercise of Divine omnipotence, for “in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” It is not, therefore, the wise and tasteful arrangement of pre-existent materials or the reduction of chaos to order, beauty, and life, which is here ascribed to Jesus, but the summoning of universal nature into original existence. What had no being before was brought into being by Him. The universe was not till He commanded it to be. “He spake and it was done.” Every form of matter and life owes its origin to the Son of God, no matter in what sphere it may be found, or with what qualities it may be invested. In heaven or on earth—Christ’s creative work was no local or limited operation; it was not bounded by this little orb; its sweep surrounds the universe which is named in Jewish diction and according to a natural division—“heaven and earth.” Every form and kind of matter, simple or complex—the atom and the star, the sun and the clod—every grade of life from the worm to the angel—every order of intellect and being around and above us, the splendors of heaven and the nearer phenomena of earth, are the product of the First-born.” Theologian H. Wayne House writes: “Christ’s creative work was all encompassing, for it includes all created things “in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.” These inclusive qualifiers are significant in light of the problems facing the Colossian church. The entire physical creation, which was distasteful to the incipient Gnostics and ascetics, nevertheless had its origin in Christ. The Incarnation, in which God was manifest in the flesh, was abhorrent enough. But the concept of Christ’s having been so closely involved with the physical world as its very Creator was especially repulsive to the heretics. On the other hand Paul affirmed in Colossians that the creation is good, not evil. In contrast to the practice of giving homage to mediatorial heavenly beings, which prevailed in Hellenistic cults and Jewish mysticism, Paul boldly affirmed that everything “invisible”—including angels—is part of the creation that is in Christ, that is, is contained in Him and by Him. This clearly removes them from any position worthy of worship. The first “created” in this verse is aorist tense and in this section the verb is perfect tense, indicating that all things were created at a point in time in the past and that they "stand created" or "remain created." The perfect tense then speaks of the permanence of the universe, the cause of which rests on Christ far more than on gravity! All creation is a Christo-centric universe! "Entropy" in a spiritual sense is devolution from our Creator Christ Jesus. How tragic is this truth! How great the deception that we are evolving toward higher beings. How powerful is the Lie. Believers will all be changed, but that is not evolution but glorification and it transpires in a moment!” Theologian John Eadie writes: The aorist tense carries us back to the act of creation, which had all its elements in Him, and the perfect tense exhibits the universe as still remaining the monument and proof of His creative might. The first clause depicts creation in its origin, and the second refers to it as an existing effect. In the former, it is an act embodying plan and power, which are alike “in Him”—in the latter, it is a phenomenon caused and still continued “by Him.” By Him is more literally "through Him,” the preposition through (dia ~ by means of) with the genitive indicating that Christ is the immediate instrument of creation. "For Him" is literally "unto Him" where the preposition "for" (eis) indicates that Christ is the goal of creation. Pastor Marvin Vincent writes: “All things came to pass within the sphere of His personality and as dependent upon it. All things, as they had their beginning in Him, tend to Him as their consummation, to depend on and serve Him.” Pastor Warren W. Wiersbe writes: "Everything exists in Him, for Him, and through Him. Jesus Christ is the Sphere in which they exist, the Agent through which they came into being, and the One for whom they were made. Paul’s use of three different prepositions is one way of refuting the philosophy of the false teachers. For centuries, the Greek philosophers had taught that everything needed a primary cause, an instrumental cause, and a final cause. The primary cause is the plan, the instrumental cause the power, and the final cause the purpose. When it comes to Creation, Jesus Christ is the primary cause (He planned it), the instrumental cause (He produced it), and the final cause (He did it for His own pleasure)." Paul repeats that Jesus was the agent of creation and adds that He is the purpose of it as well! The whole of the cosmos was made for Christ! Not only were we created for Him, through His redemption discussed earlier we have in a sense been "re-created" for Him.” Spend time contemplating the awesome majesty and splendor of our Creator and sustainer of the universe, Who has spared nothing to reveal His Father’s heart. Recommit yourself to Him and to living according to His ways. Ask for the empowering of his Spirit to delight in doing what God commands. In prayer, lift your voice in extravagant worship of our Lord Jesus Christ, singing praises to His name. Worship Him because He is the perfect, holy, almighty Creator and king of the universe and yet calls you into intimate relationship with Him. Jesus has opened the way for us to experience communion and harmony with our Creator. This is what we were made for! The majesty and brilliance of our God fills the earth. The glory of God is higher than the heavens. Even children and infants give him praise. He set the sky, the moon and the stars, and all the galaxies in place. He is truly an awesome God! From the time we were conceived and born into this world to the very end of our lives, our Creator, who knitted us together in our mother’s womb, the same eternal, unchanging One who created the heavens and the earth, is the One who has been caring for us all along, through the hands of parents and others who have loved, nurtured, and taught us. And it is He who will sustain us—throughout our childhood and youth, in our active years of working or parenting, and into the elder years when our hair is white with age and we can no longer care for ourselves but are dependent on the care of others. Our Creator, our Heavenly Father is our God of everlasting care. Lord Jesus, help me to realize that You are everlastingly my Father, intimately acquainted with me and with every moment of my entire lifetime. Help me to rely on You through every season of my life and to rest in the knowledge that even when I am old, You will still be caring for me. Grant me the grace to enter into true praise and to experience Your delight in me. I want to be lost in wonder, love, and praise. I want to sing songs that lift Your name high. Give me fresh revelation today, Lord, of who you are. Inspire me so that I will sing of your greatness and glory forever! You are the king over all the earth. I love you, Lord. We praise You for who You are. Your glory is higher than the heavens. Your majesty fills the earth. We worship and adore You. Help us to walk as Your children, giving honor and glory to you and never losing sight of Your power or Your love. In Jesus’ mighty Name Above All Names—Creator, we pray, amen.

Here are 32 power-packed quotes and a family guessing game that's for older kids or couples. Whether or not you play the game, I invite you to invest a little time in reading these quotes and to feel the Spirit of what God is telling you. Which quote stands out to you the most? What do you feel God wants you to do about it? "Most important." "Greatest." "Ultimate." "Most correct." "Overarching." President Monson recently said, "The greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and His children obey, they will always be right." (Ensign, Jan. 2015; May 2005; May 1986.) This made me curious. What other "most important" type of statements could I find from the scriptures and Church leaders? Here's what I found... The guessing game: We did this guessing game for family home evening a couple times in a row. You read each question and see who can guess the answer. Don't let anyone feel bad if their guess wasn't accurate - acknowledge their good sense. There are many answers that could make sense for the questions. After telling them the answer each Church leader said, you can read some of the quotes and discuss some together. Have fun with it! And as always, a family home evening lesson ends best with a testimony born and each person choosing one thing to act on. 1. What do you think is the most important skill we can acquire in this life? “The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life." (Julie Beck, Ensign, May 2010) 2. What do you think is the most important meeting? The ordinance of the sacrament makes the sacrament meeting the most sacred and important meeting in the Church. (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Ensign, Nov. 2008) 3. What is a supremely important world event coming up? "Today I have felt prompted to speak of the importance of preparation for a future event of supreme importance to each of us—the Second Coming of the Lord." (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Ensign, May 2004) 4. What do the scriptures say is the greatest of all of God's gifts? "If you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God." (D&C 14:7) 5. What is God's most important work? (Hint: This is a seminary scripture mastery verse.) "This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:39). "If they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness." (Mosiah 2:41) 6. What do you think are some of Satan's main threats today? "Satan’s greatest threat today is to destroy the family, and to make a mockery of the law of chastity and the sanctity of the marriage covenant." (The Teachings of Harold B. Lee, 227) 7. In Nephi's tree of life dream, what was the most important thing for the people to hold onto? And what was the most important thing to ignore? Hold onto the iron rod and keep your eyes on the tree! People who held onto the rod and made it all the way to the tree partook of the fruit. The only people who stayed at the tree and didn't leave were the ones who ignored the mockers in the great and spacious building. (See 1 Nephi 15:30-36) 8. Besides God and the Spirit, who do you think it is most important to stay in harmony with? After Elder Faust was called as an Assistant to the Twelve Apostles, "President Hugh B. Brown counseled me that the most important thing I should do is to always be in harmony with my Brethren. President Brown did not elaborate. He just said, 'Stick with the Brethren.' ... Spiritual guidance in large measure depends upon being in harmony with [those who are] prophets, seers, and revelators. I do not know how we can expect to be in full harmony with the Spirit of the Lord if we are not in harmony with the President of the Church and the other prophets, seers, and revelators. (Elder James E. Faust, Ensign, November 2005) 9. Our most important and powerful assignments are in the _______ (fill in the blank). "Our most important and powerful assignments are in the family."(President Henry B. Eyring, Ensign, May 2010) 10. Where do you think is the most important work we will ever do? (If you guessed temples, that's an awesome answer, and it's coming up soon, but guess again on this one.) “The most important of the Lord’s work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own homes” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee [2000], 134). 11. What do you think is the most important part of serving as a gospel teacher? (This is a tricky one.) "The most important part of your service [as a teacher] will be your own daily spiritual preparation, including prayer, scripture study, and obedience to the commandments. We encourage you to dedicate yourself to living the gospel with greater purpose than ever before." (Teaching the Gospel in the Savior's Way) 12. What do you think is the most important ingredient in teaching? "The Spirit is the single most important ingredient in this work." (President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, May 1987) 13. What is a little paper that the prophet said is a most important goal? "There is no more important goal for you to work toward than being worthy to go to the temple." (President Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, May 2011) 14. What is the most correct book on the earth? “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book” (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 4:461; Book of Mormon introduction). 15. What do you think was the greatest event ever? "That Atonement, wrought in unspeakable pain, became the greatest event of history, an act of grace for which men gave nothing but which brought the assurance of the Resurrection to all who have or would walk the earth. No other act in all of human history compares with it. Nothing that has ever happened can match it. Totally unselfish and with unbounded love for all mankind, it became an unparalleled act of mercy for the whole human race." (President Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 1990) 16. What kind of learning do you think is the most important kind? "We must let spiritual training take first place? ...The secular without the foundation of the spiritual is but like the foam upon the milk... The seminary courses should be given even preferential attention over the high school subjects; the institute over the college course; the study of the scriptures ahead of the study of the man-written texts; the association with the Church more important than clubs, fraternities, and sororities; the payment of tithing more important than paying tuitions and fees? Can you see that the ordinances of the temple are more important than the PhD or any and all other academic degrees?“ (Spencer W. Kimball, ”Beloved Youth, Study and Learn“, in Life's Directions: A Series of Fireside Addresses [1962], 190) 17. Whose name is the most important name under heaven, and why is it important? "There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12, see also D&C 18:23) 18. Which do you think is most important in preparing for the Second Coming -- food storage or spiritual preparation? "We need to make both temporal and spiritual preparation for the events prophesied at the time of the Second Coming. And the preparation most likely to be neglected is the one less visible and more difficult—the spiritual. A 72-hour kit of temporal supplies may prove valuable for earthly challenges, but, as the foolish virgins learned to their sorrow, a 24-hour kit of spiritual preparation is of greater and more enduring value."(Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Ensign, May 2004) 19. What do you think is possibly the most important word in the whole dictionary? (Hint: This is from President Kimball.) “When you look in the dictionary for the most important word, do you know what it is? It could be remember. Because all of you have made covenants—you know what to do and you know how to do it—our greatest need is to remember. That is why everyone goes to sacrament meeting every Sabbath day—to take the sacrament and listen to the priests pray that they ‘may always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given them.’ Nobody should ever forget to go to sacrament meeting. Remember is the word. Remember is the program” (“Circles of Exaltation,” CES Training, June 28, 1968). 20. What do you think is central to God's plan of happiness? (Besides the Atonement.) "A most important part of God's plan is families, by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. "The family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. ... Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ” (“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Ensign, Nov. 1995). 21. When you're studying the gospel, who or what is the most important thing to be taught by? “Your gospel study is most effective when you are taught by the Holy Ghost. Always begin your gospel study by praying for the Holy Ghost to help you learn. He will bring knowledge and conviction that will bless your life and allow you to bless the lives of others. Your faith in Jesus Christ will increase. Your desire to repent and improve will grow. This kind of study prepares you for service, offers solace, resolves problems, and gives you the strength to endure to the end. Successful gospel study requires desire and action. ‘For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well as in these times as in times of old’ (1 Nephi 10:19). Like Enos, as you hunger to know the words of eternal life and as you allow these words to ‘[sink] deep into [your] heart’ (Enos 1:3), the Holy Ghost will open your mind and heart to greater light and understanding. Learning the gospel is also a process of receiving revelation (see Jacob 4:8).” (Preach My Gospel, [2004], 18) 22. What do you think might be the greatest spiritual gift to pray for? "Cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all..." (Moroni 7:46) "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Corinthians 13:13). Here are my thoughts about this precious spiritual gift. 23. What do you think is the very most important commandment for you right now? “The most important commandment is the one you have difficulty keeping today! Now, if you have made mistakes, make today the beginning of a change in your lives. Turn from the thing that you have been doing that is wrong. The most important of all the commandments of God is that one you are having the most difficulty keeping today. If it is one of dishonesty, if it is one of unchastity, if it is one of falsifying, not telling the truth, TODAY is the day for you to work on that until you have been able to conquer that weakness. Put that aright and then you start on the next one that is most difficult for you to keep. That’s the way to sanctify yourself by keeping the commandments of God.” (Teachings of Harold B. Lee, 73-74) 24. What do you think is the universal sin, and is really important to overcome? (Hint: this is from a classic conference talk by President Benson.) "Pride is the universal sin, the great vice. Yes, pride is the universal sin, the great vice." (President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, May 1989) 25. What do you think Joseph Smith said is our greatest responsibility? “The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead” (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 6:313). 26. What do you think Joseph Smith said is our most important duty? “After all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the Gospel” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 113). Okay, let's pause here for a minute. Does it seem to you that the last two statements contradict each other? I have no problem with them. Right now the Lord is hastening the work in both of these areas: family history and temple work, and missionary work. And aren't those things leading to the same end -- bringing souls to Christ, so they can return live as eternal families in heaven? 27. What do you think is the ultimate purpose of all gospel teaching? “The ultimate purpose of all we teach is to unite parents and children in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ... that they are happy at home, sealed in an eternal marriage, linked to their generations, and assured exaltation in the presence of our Heavenly Father” (“The Shield of Faith,” Ensign, May 1995). 28. Which sin activates all the cardinal sins and breaking the ten commandments? "Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments." (Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, Nov. 1990) 29. It's really important that we put whom first? "We must put God in the forefront of everything else in our lives. He must come first, just as He declares in the first of His Ten Commandments: 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me' (Ex. 20:3). When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities. We should put God ahead of everyone else in our lives. (President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, May 1988) “Men and women who turn their lives over to God will find out that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace. Whoever will lose his life to God will find he has eternal life.” (President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Dec. 1988) 30. It's the daily _______ and ________ things that lead us to heaven. “The purposes of the Lord in our personal lives generally are fulfilled through the small and simple things and not the momentous and spectacular. . . . Do we realize that small events and choices determine the direction of our lives just as small helms determine the direction of great ships? (see James 3:4; D&C 123:16). . . . “. . . We need to have family and personal prayers; study the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon; hold family home evenings; follow the admonition of the Savior to love one another; and be thoughtful, kind, and gentle within the family. Through these and other similar small and simple things, we have the promise that our lives will be filled with peace and joy.” (Elder M. Russell Ballard, Ensign, May 1990) 31. Speaking of small and simple things, what do you think is one of the most important things to immerse ourselves in? "One of the most important things you can do...is to immerse yourselves in the scriptures. Search them diligently. Feast upon the words of Christ. Learn the doctrine. Master the principles.” (President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Nov. 1986) 32. In the last General Conference, Elder Scott told us that one small and simple thing should be nonnegotiable. Do you remember what that was? Hint: We're supposed to do it twice a day. "Parents, help safeguard your children by arming them morning and night with the power of family prayer. Children are bombarded every day with the evils of lust, greed, pride, and a host of other sinful behaviors. Protect your children from daily worldly influences by fortifying them with the powerful blessings that result from family prayer. Family prayer should be a nonnegotiable priority in your daily life." (Elder Richard G. Scott, Ensign, Nov. 2014) Believe it or not, I found many more than 32 "most important" type of statements, but I didn't want to have the world's longest blog post. :) This was a fun way to study the scriptures! Another idea I might try the next time I have a breather from seminary teaching is to find three word sermons, like "Come follow me," "Come unto Christ," "Feed my sheep," "O be wise." I also like the idea of studying the last words of various prophets in the scriptures, or modern leaders. I like mixing up scripture study and studying by various topics or themes sometimes. Aren't God's words awesome? P.S. I just found another one that is too good to leave out. So here's a bonus quote. What do you think is the most important thing we can do, young or old? "The most important thing we can do--young or old--is develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ." (Elder W. Don Ladd, Ensign, Nov. 1994) Isn't that a goodie? Feel free to leave a comment below with your favorite "most important" type of quote. Why did you like it?
