Elder Gene R. Cook
“I have a feeling that in our meetings we have lost, to a degree, an understanding of a key doctrine of the kingdom. What we have lost, in part, is our personal worship of the Lord, which is the purpose of all meetings. One time a man asked President Spencer W. Kimball, 'What do you do when you find yourself in a boring sacrament meeting?' There was silence for a moment and then President Kimball said, 'I don't know. I've never been in one.' That's interesting, isn't it? That tells me that the real meeting was really between President Kimball and the Lord, in addition to what was happening in sacrament meeting. If you are just in this meeting with me, you are in the wrong meeting, and you will miss most of what is said. The same is true of other meetings. If you enter a meeting with your heart prepared to be written upon by the Lord, then that will happen.” (quoted in Church News, 03/24/90)
Elder Gerald N. Lund, who was then serving as a member of the Seventy, explained why the Holy Ghost will carry the word unto, but not into, our hearts: “Why just unto the heart? Individual agency is so sacred that Heavenly Father will never force the human heart, even with all His infinite power. Man may try to do so, but God does not. To put it another way, God allows us to be the guardians, or the gatekeepers, of our own hearts. We must, of our own free will, open our hearts to the Spirit, for He will not force Himself upon us” (“Opening Our Hearts,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2008, 33).
Question: What do all of these things teach you about your role in any gospel classroom?
