“Speak One with Another Concerning the Welfare of Their Souls”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
One of the fundamental purposes of the Church is the perfection of the Saints. There are many ways by which this is accomplished, but one of the must common and significant is through formal, consistent, and continual gospel instruction in Church meetings and programs. Much of the Church’s resources are expended on teaching the Saints concerning the “welfare of their souls.” This instruction is not given just to increase gospel scholarship but is designed to lead men and women a partake of Christ’s atonement in their own lives- which in turn leads to greater compassion and concern for the welfare of the souls of others.
