You are not a data point. Youโre a beloved child of God with moral agency and divine potential.
I invite you to join me at https://t.co/DvO30jyBlh on June 7 as we discuss how to hear God's voice in an age of artificial intelligence. You are not a data point. Youโre a beloved child of God with moral agency and divine potential.
We look on life differently; we see way beyond this mortal life. Our trust is in our Heavenly Father and in His Son. Our challenge is to believe in Him and trust in Him, and to know that our choices in this life will follow us beyond the veil.
I shared this message while in New Zealand on a recent assignment.
What Jesus said to His disciples anciently still applies to us today: โIf any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow meโ (Matthew 16:24).
The Savior invites us, no matter where we are at this moment, to walk with Him (see Moses 6:34).
We donโt have to achieve some minimum level of ability or spirituality before He will take an interest in us. His invitation and His hands are extended right now, and all are included.
Elder @BednarDavidA shared his testimony of Joseph Smith and the Restoration of Christโs Church as he spoke to young adults in Logan, Utah, on Sunday, Jan. 11.
A standing-room only audience at the annual Joseph Smith Memorial Devotional in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on the campus of Utah State University was remarkably quiet, compared to the noise typically heard there for Aggie basketball games and other events.
As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Bednar testified of the truthfulness of the work done by the Prophet Joseph Smith and the faith in the Savior that he demonstrated in following heavenly instruction that led to the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Jesus Christ was born, He lived, and He fulfilled His mission as the Savior of the world. He is the greatest gift. As you prepare for a day of Christmas celebration, we invite you to ponder the gifts that Jesus Christ has given you. As you do so, we pray that your Christmas Day will be filled with His light and love and that tonight you sleep in His heavenly peace. #LightTheWorld #ASaviorIsBorn

In Times Square, the billboards went darkโthen lit up with a message of hope: Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas. A glowing Nativity reminded us He was born for each of usโto bring peace, purpose, and healing. Share this message with someone today.
In looking to God, we can find peace in difficulty, and our faith can continue to grow even in times of doubt and spiritual challenge. We can receive strength in the face of opposition and isolation.
Susan and I have spent the day with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other community members who were involved in the tragic shooting episode that took place in Michigan on Sunday.
ย
The devotion of these faithful members makes me want to be more devoted, and the faithfulness of these good people makes me want to be more faithful.
ย
They have the capacityโbecause of the eternal perspective of the gospel of Jesus Christโto learn lessons in tragedy in mortality that prepare them for eternal life.
ย
We are familiar with the admonition that we should mourn with those that mourn. There are broken hearts here in Michigan. My invitation to any and all is to continue to pray for these good people.
Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. Millions of us are mourning the passing of our beloved Prophet and President, Russell M. Nelson. He was a dear friend and a cherished leader.ย
ย
His timeless teachings continue to guide us and help us find comfort amid suffering, especially in the wake of the recent violence aimed at members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan this past Sunday.
ย
The awful tragedy that took place in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on September 28, reminds us of our sacred responsibilities as followers of Jesus Christ. We mourn with our members who have lost loved ones, and we join in prayer for comfort with others around the world who are suffering from similar tragedies.
ย
We all seek answers and understanding in the wake of trauma, shock, and grief. We are grateful to all who are reaching out with service, prayers, and words of support during this difficult time.
ย
May we all remember the truth that each of us is a beloved child of God. Our Savior Jesus Christ, through His infinite Atonement, overcame death and gives us the joyful assurance that each of us will be gloriously resurrected.
ย
On behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I extend this expression to the family and friends of those affected by this recent tragedy and all others who may be experiencing loss and heartache at this time.
