Spencer W. Kimball

Now I tell that story to offer evidence that the Lord sends faithful disciples to help Him keep His promise to succor others in their distress.

As President Spencer W. Kimball taught, God does notice us and He watches over us.

but it is usually through another person that He meets our needs.

The remainder of my message today is to thank those who have responded to the call to be the Lord's servants, to fulfill His promises to be with His children in their troubles.

And possibly it's important as the Lord's birthday.

Elder Talmadge, James E. Talmadge, and Jesus the Christ, President Spencer W. Kimball, President Harold B. Lee, because in section 20 it says, "...on April 6th, since the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh." Some people have thought it referred to the actual birth of the Lord.

But other scholars have said, no, no, no, no, no.

He wasn't born then because people like George Whitefield have used a similar phrase.

He wants us to testify more.

The prophecy of given of Spencer W. Kimball, that the growth of the church is going to come from articulate women doesn't mean you need to be smart.

It means you have to communicate your love of God.

I

yourself, your leaders, and others.

President Spencer W. Kimball taught that integrity, the willingness and ability to live by our beliefs and commitments, is one of the foundation stones of good character.

And without good character, one cannot hope to enjoy the presence of God here or in the eternities.

So I feel like this quote really goes well with the title.

After Clark's death, church leaders increasingly encouraged homosexually oriented men to marry women.

Spencer W. Kimball became the major advocate of marriage as a remedy for same-sex desire.

Quinn sees 1958 as a major turning point.

Salt Lake City police were using decoys and surveillance at gay meeting places and making highly publicised arrests.

So it was a real deal.

It's not something Hannah and I just made up or D. Michael Quinn just made up.

Now, Spencer W. Kimball occupied an unusual place in this transition.

He was personally comfortable with forms of male physical affection that were becoming less common in American culture.

But that grows into a large and mighty priesthood as well.

And then one more thing that you'll find here that's kind of special is that when the cabin was rebuilt in 1980, President Spencer W. Kimball put a time capsule that's supposed to be open 50 years later on the 200th anniversary of the church.

So in 2030, this time capsule that you see right here under this beautiful sculpture of Jesus Christ will be opened to commemorate what we celebrated 50 years ago now that we've made it to 200 years as a church.

Thanks for watching this episode of Restoration Revealed.

the Apostle John saw that you overcame Satan, quote, by the word of your testimony, close quote.

Knowing my true identity, helped by my patriarchal blessing, gave me the courage and faith to accept President Spencer W. Kimball's invitation to gather Israel.

It will be the same for you, dear friends.

Knowing you overcame Satan by the word of your testimony before, quote, will help you love, share, and invite now and always.

Obviously, this sister didn't understand that being our best self is the essence of the gospel.

President Spencer W. Kimball wrote, I assure you that all Church standards, both those relating to moral conduct and those relating to dress and grooming, are the result of intense, prayerful consideration by Church leaders.

As we review some of these guidelines, be open-minded and ask yourself if any of these reminders apply to you.

A basic self-check is to ask yourself, does my clothing reflect the dignity of my calling? Do I have a professional look, conservative and confident? For elders, dark colors in suits and pants are appropriate.
