  9. SEMINARY X C I T I N G “What I learned in seminary was totally up to me… If I wanted to learn and feel the Spirit, I could. The instructors had such different teaching styles that each teacher brought a new outlook and taught me something more. Seminary also taught me that there wasn’t just one way to learn about the gospel and the Church. I could have fun while learning. Wow! What a concept.” Katie Bliss, “Soaking Up Seminary,” New Era, Aug. 2003, 38

  12. SEMINARY “Inspirational music is an essential part of our church meetings. The hymns invite the Spirit of the Lord, create a feeling of reverence, unify us as members, and provide a way for us to offer praises to the Lord. Hymns move us to repentance and good works, build testimony and faith, comfort the weary, console the mourning, and inspire us to endure to the end. We hope to see an increase of hymn singing in our congregations. We encourage all members, whether musically inclined or not, to join with us in singing the hymns.”

  13. SEMINARY “For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.” -- D&C 25:12

  28. SEMINARY President Marion G. Romney: “The message of the Old Testament is the message of salvation and the commandments which we must obey in order to partake of the salvation offered”(“The Message of the Old Testament,” in A Symposium on the Old Testament, 1979, 5–6). Elder Boyd K. Packer: “In the Old Testament course, you learn of the creation and fall of man, the foundation for the temple endowment. You learn what a prophet is. You become familiar with such words as obedience, sacrifice, covenant, Aaronic, Melchizedek, and priesthood. The ‘why’ of tithes and offerings is explained. You read prophecies of the coming Messiah and of the restoration of the gospel. You see Elijah demonstrate the sealing power. In seminary you learn to know the Old Testament, a testament of Jesus Christ” (in Conference Report, Mar.–Apr. 1990, 49; or Ensign, May 1990, 37–38). OU
