Search Me, O God, And Know My Heart

Love this talk by President Faust - text here.  I found this conference cd while cleaning my desk, it is wonderful ~



My favorite part:

We should always honor and keep sacred the saving covenants we make with the Lord. If we do, He has promised, “Thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things—that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal.”
...
Paul spoke of those in his day who demonstrated that “the work of the law [was] written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness.”For members of this Church to enjoy the blessings of a covenant people, the law of the Lord must be written in their hearts. How can they do this when so many voices tell our children and grandchildren that evil is good and good is evil? (I see that so much, it is frustrating...) We would hope that all fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, would be better examples in keeping the commandments of God. We ask husbands and wives to try a little harder to be loving and kind with each other. If both parents will insulate their family as far as they can from the many influences that prey upon us, their children are more likely to be safeguarded. Daily scripture study, daily prayer, regular family home evening, obedience to priesthood authority in the home and in the Church constitute a great insurance policy against spiritual deterioration.




Who wouldn't want a spiritual insurance policy?  Here it is again - 4 steps to help us safeguard our children from evil:

Daily Scripture Study
Daily Prayer
Regular Family Home Evening
Obedience to Priesthood Authority in the Home and in the Church
