Post 47m: I Cordially Welcome Those of You Who Have Logged Into This Blog of Mine for the First time! I Welcome Back Those of You Who Have Previously Viewed What I Have Offered. In Both Cases I Hope You are Edified by What You are about to to Experience. Once Again I focus on a General Conference Talk of One of the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ Who Live in Our Day, President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles! The Holy Scriptures are a Vital Part of His Talk:

The Following Blog Description Explains Why My Blog is named: "Four Books of Scripture Testify of Jesus Christ!

Jesus the Christ -by Del Parson

WELCOME, NEW  AND PREVIOUS VIEWERS OF THIS BLOG: In this and in every additional post of this blog you will be led on a carefully and prayerfully planned exciting and inspiring journey as you prepare by means of a guided study of the four sacred books of scripture I am shown holding above; which will assist you in becoming more righteously happy now and more fully prepared for eventual After-Mortality Eternal Endeavors on your part, along with your loved ones and countless other mortals who are seeking to qualify as our Heavenly Father's worthy children. 

Those enabling Books of Scripture were brought about through the love of the Heavenly Father of our immortal spirits which now inhabit our mortal bodies; and were a key part of the Restoration of the Gospel, and of the establishment of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, through the Prophet Joseph Smith early in the Nineteenth Century. Leading out in all of this, was of course, Our Heavenly Father's Only Begotten Son who is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer, Jesus Christ (who initially was our eldest spirit brother and is the only one of us our Heavenly Father will have ever sired into mortality). 

Jesus accomplished His Infinite Atonement, the Ultimate Mortal Sacrifice, along with His infallibly witnessed Resurrection. He is our Redeemer and Savior and has opened the way for each of us to learn with certainty through those four books of scripture, and through the inspired teachings of His prophets, seers and revelators of our day and those authorized by them; that some time after our mortal deaths, because of His atonement and resurrection, and depending on the level of individual righteousness we each attain to, through His grace, we can eventually experience Eternal Life in our own resurrected bodies, which in the case of those who fully heeded all of His scriptural guidance and the guidance of His authorized living servants, there will be full possession of Godly capabilities!

http://www.lds.org/church/leader/l-tom-perry

Now you will be provided the opportunity of viewing Elder Perry's most recent conference address in the Priesthood session. Inasmuch as the November issue of the Ensign Magazine has not yet been published I am not able to access the Notes that he will have provided at the end of the copy of his October 2013 Conference Talk. Nonetheless, after you have experienced his talk I will present several things to assist you in your studying his inspiring and instructive message.

THE ARTICLES OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

  1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.

  2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.

  3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

  4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

  5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.

  6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.

  7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

  8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

  9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

  10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

  11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

  12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

  13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Now I invite you and those members of your family who may be near by to join with you in singing several LDS Hymns which deal with the theme of Elder Perry's talk: You may want to suggest those with you to choose which part they would like to sing: Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Base:

Post 47k: In This Blog Post I Have Chosen to Feature One of the October 2013 General Conference Speeches. It was Delivered in the Afternoon of Saturday, the Fifth of October by Elder David A.

General Conference

• October 2013

I now give you the opportunity as I most often do in these Blog Posts of Mine, to Sing an LDS Hymn which is about the subject being considered. The first hymn I suggest you, along with others who may be with you,  sing, is not on the subject of the Sacred Tithe but is on the related subject of Giving to The Lord (Through Paying Tithing), He who has given us life and His Restored Gospel, even, Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior! The music is provided electronically and you and those who may be with you can choose which part,  Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Base, each of you may choose to sing!

http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/we-give-thee-but-thine-own?lang=eng

I have decided that the following hymn also has application to Elder Bednar's talk on Tithing (singing it may help each of us to determine to pay our tithing if we haven't been or perhaps just strengthen our determination to keep paying tithing despite our having financial difficulties:

Monson, While Covering His Topic Very Well, Utilizes His Notes, (Those Which are Placed at the End of the Published Version of His Talk) Completely. After You Have Listened to His Inspiring and Touching Priesthood Meeting Talk, All I Ask of Each of You Blog Post Viewers, Male and Female, Adults and Youth Alike, is: To Sing the LDS Hymn Which I Feel I Was Guided by the Holy Spirit to Suggest You Sing. After Being Inspired by the Words of Our Dear Inspired Leader, President Thomas S. Monson, To Whom You Will Have Just Listened, I'm Certain You Will Be Ready to Sing That Song With All of Your Voice and Heart ! (Please Invite Anyone Who May Be With You to Sing With You.
