The Priesthood

As a mother of an Aaronic Priesthood holder I appreciated this talk. I especially liked:

So we call upon you wonderful young brethren to diligently strive to be “born again.”16 Pray for this mighty change in your life. Study the scriptures. Desire more than all else to know God and to become like His holy Son. Enjoy your youth but “put away childish things”:17

• Shun profane and foolish chatter.
• Flee all evil.
• Avoid contention.
• Repent where needed.

This will help you rise to the noble stature of your manhood. The qualities of courage, trustworthiness, humility, faith, and goodness will be yours. Friends will admire you, parents will praise you, brethren in the priesthood will depend on you, and the young women will adore you and become even better because of you. God will honor you and endow your priesthood service with power from on high.
