Teachings of Brigham Young

“While the inhabitants of the earth are bestowing all their ability, both mental and physical, upon perishable objects, those who profess to be Latter-day Saints, who have the privilege of receiving and understanding the principles of the holy gospel, are in duty bound to study and find out, and put in practice in their lives, those principles that are calculated to endure, and that tend to a continual increase in this, and in the world to come” (DNW, 20 July 1854, 1).

As Latter-Day Saints we are privileged to have all the prophetic words of our prophets written to us, Teachings of our Presidents. Through videos and the Gospel Library software, and therefore it is incumbent on us to get hold of these materials and feast upon them. I am duty bound as a Latter-day Saint to do just that, to study,  learn, and live by eternal principles. President Brigham Young has admonish us to study and find out, and put in practice in our lives, those principles that are calculated to endure, and that tend to a continual increase, and in the world to come. That is what I am doing as a child of God, reading my scriptures, accept church callings and magnifying them and made sure my children are also thought the principles and are baptized into the fold.

As we feast upon the prophetic words of our leaders, Brigham Young said we will increase in knowledge and intelligence, in every branch of mechanism, or in the arts and sciences, for all wisdom.
