pam Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 The words gospel and church are not the same yet we need both.Because we could not cleanse our own sins, a Savior was needed.The Lord re-established the church through Joseph Smith’s hands.Activity in the church is not the ultimate goal. We need to be active in the gospel.The purpose of the church is to help us live the gospel.Three fundamental ways to become active in the gospel.1. Deepen our understanding of deity.2. Focus on the ordinances and covenants.3. Unite the gospel with the church.Focusing on the gospel, the church will become more of a blessing in our lives.If we go to church to be entertained, we often will be disappointed.The Lord wants the members of His church to be fully converted to His gospel.

LittleWyvern Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 “It is possible to be active in the church, and less-active in the gospel.”I've never thought of it this way before, but I really like it. :) Quote
SanctitasDeo Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 I thought this was a great talk. I will be looking forward to reading it in four days or so. Quote
