What Our Prophet Taught in April 2016

President Monson's remarks were brief, largely due to his failing health, however he did give some great council that we should take to heart. Below are a few of the things that he said:
  • "We are the recipients of a sacred trust [as Priesthood holders]. Much is expected of us."
  • We must guard/protect this Priesthood and be worthy of its blessings.
  • "Before you put yourself and your priesthood in jeopardy by venturing into places or participating in activities which are not worthy of you or of that priesthood, pause to consider the consequences."
  • "Remember who you are and what God expects you to become. You are a child of promise. You are a man of might. You are a son of God."
  • We must always be worthy to use the Priesthood for we never know when we will be called upon to use it!
  • "It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. The choices we make determine our destiny."
  • "May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary—a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals."
  • Use the gift of repentance when you fall short.
  • "May we maintain the courage to defy the consensus. May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong."
  • Always choose Christ.
