Church Magazines
For the Strength of Youth
Elder David A. Bednar, “What Are Spiritual Gifts, and How Do They Work?“, Invitations:
- “We should do all in our power to desire and become eligible for [spiritual] gifts.”
- “Our primary desires should be focused upon serving God and His children and not on our own growth and development. Appropriately seeking for and being blessed to receive spiritual gifts and Christlike attributes requires that we ‘get out of the way’ and look beyond our self-centered desires, concerns, and personal preferences.”
- “Receiving spiritual gifts and Christlike attributes requires both commencing and continuing.”
- “Strive in righteousness to receive the spiritual gifts and characteristics that enable us to reach outward to love, serve, and bless others.”
- “In mortality, we are now and always will be imperfect. It simply is not possible to attain righteous perfection in mortality. But we can and should be worthy, improving, repenting, and becoming.”
Elder Gerrit W. Gong, “Easter’s Hope and Promise in Jesus Christ“, Invitations:
- “Please create a quiet moment and place of spiritual sanctuary as you read this message.”
- “See one another with an eternal perspective—with greater love, understanding, and kindness.”
- “[See] our Savior and relationships with greater faith and gratitude”

President Russell M. Nelson, “From the First Presidency: An Easter Invitation“, Invitations:
- “I invite you to think and pray about if there is someone you should forgive. I can think of no better way to honor Jesus Christ this Easter. I promise that as you forgive, the Prince of Peace will bring you peace.”
Elder Quentin L. Cook, “Answers from an Apostle: We Can All Choose Christ“, Invitations:
- “To receive the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement, we must use our agency to choose Christ.”
Liahona
President Russell M. Nelson, “First Presidency Easter Message“, Invitations:
- “We invite all to come unto Jesus ‘that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly’ (John 10:10). Binding ourselves to Him through making and keeping covenants enriches our lives now and eternally. May you find hope, healing, and happiness as you draw nearer to the Savior of the world this Easter season.”
Elder Gerrit W. Gong, “Jesus Christ: The Hope and Promise of Easter“, Invitations:

BYU Devotionals
BYU – Idaho
Elder Ulisses Soares, “Drawing Strength from the Savior’s Love“, Invitations:
- “Cast off all that hinders you from feeling the love of our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son.”
BYU – Provo
President Dallin H. Oaks, “Honoring Judge J. Clifford Wallace: A Life of Law, Leadership, and Legacy“, Invitations:
- “Speaking from our commitment to the divinely inspired principles of the United States Constitution, which apply to all men, we believe in the rule of law.”
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Joyfully Receive the Unexpected Messiah“, Invitations:
- “Please ask your Heavenly Father for blessings and guidance. Share with Him your hopes, dreams, and desires. But in doing so, make sure that you are not trying to get Him to see things your way. Ask Him to open your eyes to see things His way. That’s when the answers start to flow. That’s when you climb the mountain and begin to see things from a higher perspective—even Heavenly Father’s perspective. ‘Then shall [your] confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and [light and truth] shall distil upon [your] soul as the dews from heaven.'”
- “During this sacred Easter week, I invite you to each personally ask yourself:
- “Will I show Jesus Christ that I want Him to be my King?
- “Will I invite Jesus Christ to have His triumphal entry into my life?
- “Will I allow Jesus Christ to change my heart, to lift my vision, and to teach me His higher and holier ways?”
