    From the symbols in Lehi's dream, we learn that sometimes we must stand alone in faith and Godly truth, even when it is not cool or popular.

    The fact that people like this - equal to any general Church leader past or present - exist in so many of the quiet corners of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is why we will become what we are prophesied to become. From libraries to lecturns, every one of us can lift where we stand and do so like God Himself because of His grace.

    Hallelujah Brother Anderson! I love it! We cannot serve God and mammon. Becoming the BYU it is destined to be is contingent upon our collective rejection of the mocking of the world--a world who lacks eternal perspective and cannot see afar off--and embracing wholeheartedly the Savior and His restored church. May we all--all members of the Church who have or have not attended BYU--be fully converted to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and stand for and with BYU in its divine mission. Let's become who we need to become and teach who we are. And may we never--even in the smallest ways--sell our spiritual birthrights for a mess of temporal pottage (the gain and glory of the world). Thank you for being clear, concise, and bold!

    Not gonna lie, this is one of the best talks I ever heard in a modern typical byu devotional. Truly exceptional.

    Love this presentation on several levels: (1) the Book of Mormon is divine scripture, (2) the heavens are not closed, (3) condemn the things of God at your own peril, (4) none are excluded from His atoning reach/none are cast off forever.
    Reminds me of a quote from Joseph Smith: “…does it remain for a people who never had faith enough to call down one scrap of revelation from heaven…to say how much God has spoken…and not spoken…”
    The Restoration is simultaneously simple, and complex; It is miraculous, it is marvelous, it is true. It’s up to us imperfect, faithful saints to live it as true disciples.
    Long live the Librarians of this church!

    Clear, artful, deep, wallopingly spiritual! Wow! (He has the words. I do not.) I’ll be listening to this on repeat. It’s too richly packed for me to get it in one take. So many seemingly simplistic themes yet so worthy of a deep dive!

    Wonderful. The presence of the Tree of Light in the Book of Mormon is a testament to its validity as an ancient document. It is the binary moment.

    Thank you! This was an amazing talk and it says something about BYU that we have been so inspired and spiritual fed by more than the religion faculty. I already shared this as I listened. It is SO good! Thank you!

    Eu vou ficar estudando tudo aqui
    Eu pude sentir a sua emoção e refletir.
    Muito obrigado!
    Já imaginou se pudéssemos voltar na época dos Templos do livro de Mórmon?!
    Acho que as mulheres dos incas podiam ter recebido bem mais atenção como recebem hoje. Eles não cairiam. Por isso
    vamos celebrar!
    O Livro de Mórmon é verdadeiro!
    Jesus Cristo vive!
