Un-assigned #devotional today, so I gave one myself. Using #DandC14:7 (keep the commandments and **endure to the end**), I talked about having the goal in sight, — mission, temple, education, etc. And when you’re within inc…
Irene Palmer:
As part of our discussion on #priesthood in #dandc84 I had the students answer the following questions – anonymously- at the beginning of class and then I read the answers. It really made them think about how they can affect others.

Lynn Durkee:
Did #dandc85 and #dandc86 focusing on only two phrases “do not Steady the ark” and “wheat and tares.” Many kids did not remember much about the ark at all, so it became quite a long discussion. A few suggested we watch Indiana Jones. I …

Major fail today turned into an awesome discussion about scripture study. I was supposed to teach #dandc77 today, but when I got to the church, I forgot my lesson manual with all my notes. My computer was being glitchy when connected to t…
Redeem the Dead v2 build mine holy house (Kirtland Temple)
Perfect the Saints v3 for the benefit of those who seek inheritances

That’s a great observation.1
Verse 28 talks about John being ordained by an angel, rather than his father Zacharias, who was a high priest. This article provides great insight, summed up in this quote:
President Joseph Fielding Smith has explained the matter of John’s ordination as follows:
“The reason Zacharias could not ordain John is because of the fact that John received certain keys of authority which his father Zacharias did not possess. Therefore this special authority had to be conferred by this heavenly messenger, who was duly authorized and sent to confer it. John’s ordination was not merely the bestowal of the Aaronic Priesthood, which his father held, but also the conferring of certain essential powers peculiar to the time among which was the authority to overthrow the kingdom of the Jews and ‘to make straight the way of the Lord.’ Moreover, it was to prepare the Jews and other Israelites for the coming of the Son of God. This great authority required a special ordination beyond the delegated power that had been given to Zacharias or any other priest who went before him, so the angel of the Lord was sent to John in his childhood to confer it.”

I used Elder McConkie’s talk, The Doctrine of the Priesthood, frequently as a YM Pres. I find this quote is helpful in clarifying the oath.
“Anciently the Aaronic Priesthood was limited to the Levites. It …

Humorous yet poignant reminder… “Oh, you don’t have time to read your scriptures? That’s cool. I only spent my entire life putting them together for you.”
