      In Devotional this week, didn't Gordon Smith quote a prophet saying that the internet was truly invented to share the gospel?

  • True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior. Preoccupation with unworthy behavior can lead to unworthy behavior. That is why we stress so forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel. The laws of God on marriage, birth, and nurturing of little children may seem rigid, but they are very practical.

    A little late, but I wanted to highlight President Packer's quote about the study of behavior in relation to the gospel.

      What a cool idea. It can be a great way to learn the gospel and to bear your testimony.
  • You Can Do It Too!
  • It’s a gray, drizzly Saturday morning, but the children of the Danbury Connecticut Ward aren’t in their pajamas watching cartoons or playing video games. They’re busy making videos of their own. And their videos will help thousands of people learn about the Book of Mormon! It all started when their bishop had a great idea. Bishop Summerhays is a media expert who teaches children from many countries how to use technology to create positive messages. Why not teach the children in his ward the same thing? Now the children, joined by children from the Newtown Ward, are sitting at five long tables in the Primary room. Stacks of construction paper and poster board, pens, and scissors are on the tables. Each group will be making an animated video of a different Book of Mormon story:

  • principle of accountability also applies to the spiritual resources conferred in the teachings we have been given and to the precious hours and days allotted to each of us during our time in mortality.
  • The significance of our increased discretionary time has been magnified many times by modern data-retrieval technology. For good or for evil, devices like the Internet and the compact disc have put at our fingertips an incredible inventory of information, insights, and images. Along with fast food, we have fast communications and fast facts. The effect of these resources on some of us seems to fulfill the prophet Daniel’s prophecy that in the last days “knowledge shall be increased” and “many shall run to and fro”

  • “Do you think we need a bigger truck?”
  • our biggest need is a clearer focus on how we should value and use what we already have.
  • But to what purpose?
  • “knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word,” in which “wisdom” is “lost in knowledge” and “knowledge” is “lost in information”
  • We have thousands of times more available information than Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln. Yet which of us would think ourselves a thousand times more educated or more serviceable to our fellowmen than they?
  • I could never complete my assigned task within the available time unless I focused my research in the beginning and stopped that research soon enough to have time to analyze my findings and compose my conclusions.
  • we must begin with focus or we are likely to become like those in the well-known prophecy about people in the last days—“ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim. 3:7).
  • But a bale of handouts can detract from our attempt to teach gospel principles with clarity and testimony.
  • Stacks of supplementary material can impoverish rather than enrich, because they can blur students’ focus on the assigned principles and draw them away from prayerfully seeking to apply those principles in their own lives.
  • Each of us should be careful that the current flood of information does not occupy our time so completely that we cannot focus on and hear and heed the still, small voice that is available to guide each of us with our own challenges today.
  • Our priorities determine what we seek in life.
  • “a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth”
  • Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time.
  • Good choices are especially important in our family life. For example, how do family members spend their free time together? Time together is necessary but not sufficient.
  • I believe many of us are overnourished on entertainment junk food and undernourished on the bread of life.

    Available information wisely used is far more valuable than multiplied information allowed to lie fallow.

    The ides of a Mormon Mingle sounds interesting, what does everyone else think?
  • Megan Stern on 24 Oct 10
     
    Our class should organize a Mormon Mingle outside of regular class time. Maybe we can create a Doodle on which class members post their available times to meet.

  • Today we have a modern equivalent of the printing press in the Internet and all that it means. The Internet allows everyone to be a publisher, to have their voice heard,
  • HomeThe Newsroom BlogMultimediaPhotosVideoAudio
  • New Media is facilitating a world-wide conversation on almost every subject including religion, and nearly everyone can participate. This modern equivalent of the printing press is not reserved only for the elite.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple, clear terms the message of the Restoration
  • we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us
  • Every disciple of Christ will be most effective, and do the most good by adopting a demeanor worthy of a follower of the Savior of the world.
  • This is your world, the world of the future, with inventions undreamed of that will come in your lifetime as they have in mine. How will you use these marvelous inventions? More to the point, how will you use them to further the work of the Lord?
  • The printing press and other media have allowed us to take the Lord’s message to almost every corner of the earth.
  • Make sure that the choices you make in the use of new media are choices that expand your mind, increase your opportunities, and feed your soul.

    New.FamilySearch.org helps members of the church around the world organize and find information about their ancestors and ensure that their temple work is done. This is an example of what Elder Ballard said. He said, "The Lord over the centuries has had a hand in inspiring people to invent tools that facilitate the spreading of the gospel. The Church has adopted and embraced those tools, including print, broadcast media, and now the Internet."
