Revealed Quorum Principles

My thoughts on Brother Neider's talk "Revealed Quorum Principles"

Of course this talk is geared to priesthood brethren, but do we not all have some sort of quorum in our own home? Our family, our marriage, and even ourselves?

"I emphasize the principles of study, of obtaining God's word." He then talks about how we all need to be students of the gospel. I want to say DUH, but then remember that we need to have these things repeated over and over until we get them. How good of a student am I? How about my family? Am I doing what is necessary? Am I doing just a bit more? What can I do better? (Lots is the answer!)

"President Stephen L Richards taught that a quorum is a class, a brotherhood, and a service unit: a class where a young man may be taught the gospel of Jesus Christ; a brotherhood where we can strengthen, build, lift, and friendship each other; and a service unit to give service to quorum members and others."

Is that not also important for our own families?

Since I have five boys, I'm so thankful that the words came out again that scouting is the program we use in the USA for our young men. There is great leadership, wisdom and skills that are taught through properly run scout/YM programs. I'm so thankful for such a program.

"As these quorum principles and tools are used with planning and wisdom and in the exercise of faith, miracles will be obtained."

Miracles can happen in our own families.
