'Bishops - Shepherds over the Lord's Flock'
Elder Quentin L. Cook
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Today my purpose is to focus on bishops and their counselors, who can appropriately be called "shepherds over the Lord's flock" - with emphasis on being shepherds for the rising generation. It is interesting that the Apostle Peter referred to Jesus Christ as "the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."
The Living Christ
P4
We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world.
I actually got up at 5 this morning, the time I wish to get up every morning but don't always seem to be able to do. I have schedule from 5-7 to do my gospel study. Right now I am of course studying the "Come Follow Me" lessons. I am also starting the Inklings Institute General Conference study for the next six months.
The name of the study is Increase your Faith, a study of mustard seeds, mountains and miracles. The invitation is taken from President Nelson's April 2021 General Conference address: "Christ is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains."
"My call to you is to start today to increase your faith.
Through your faith Jesus Christ will increase
your ability to move the mountains in your life.
Become an engaged learner.
Immerse yourself in the scriptures to understand better Christ's mission and ministry.
Know the doctrine of Christ so that you understand
its power for your life.
Internalize the truth that the Atonement of Jesus Christ
applies to you.
He provided the power for you to move every mountain
you will ever face.
You obtain that power with your faith, trust, and
willingness to follow Him.
Moving your mountains may require miracles.
Learn about miracles.
Miracles come according to your faith in the Lord.
The more you learn about the Savior the easier it
will be for you to trust in His mercy,
His infinite love, and His strengthening,
healing and redeeming power.
The Savior is never closer to you than
when you are facing or climbing
a mountain with faith."
During this six month course we will be studying 24 conference talks
along with scriptures that will help build and strengthen our faith. This week we are studying this conference talk of President Nelson's along with Deuteronomy 2:1-29. The reading assignment is sent out on Sunday for us to study and then on Thursday Emily and Rio do a lesson on Instagram TV. Emily teaches from the assigned scripture and Rio from the conference talk.
Because of the healing I experienced on Easter morning, I have a desire to learn more about how to increase my faith to overcome more mountains in my life and to experience more miracles. If I can have the faith of a mustard seed I know that I can overcome and conquer!
I had my wellness checkup with Dr. Moffat today. I now need to go have lab work done to check my thyroid, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Oh, and yes, I had three cookies for dinner. I made chocolate chip cookies this week and they have been the mainstay of my diet. I wonder how my blood sugar was today. I actually feel pretty great after eating sugar as opposed to James who gets headaches. Maybe if I got headaches I would like it less.
