Advanced Search of the BYU Speeches Bibliography

This form allows you to perform an advanced search. You only need to fill in one field below. This can be any field. If you select "not" as your match criteria, you must select at least one other field.

Explanation of Terms, Operators, Queries, and Grouping

- Capitalization of alphabetic characters is ignored. "MormoN" matches "mormon", "Mormon", "MORMON", etc.

- Common words and words with only 1 or 2 characters are ignored.

- All punctuation marks other than the following operators are ignored.

- Phrases enclosed within double quotes (") only matches exactly the same words in the same order. Nonword characters are ignored. "test phrase" matches "test, phrase" but not "phrase test", or "test or phrase".

- Parentheses may be used to group words and operators into subexpressions.

- A plus (+) in front of a word means it must be present.

- A minus (-) in front of a word means it must not be present. There must be at least one other search term in the same field.

- A space in front of a word means the word is optional, but it should be present.

- A tilde (~) in front of a word means it should not be present.

- > or < in front of a word increases (>) or decreases (<) the word's relevance.

- An asterisk (*) at the end of a word serves as a wildcard operator. "apple*" matches “apple”, “apples”, “applesauce”, “applet”, etc.

- @<distance> tests whether two or more words all start within the specified distance, measured in words. Specify the search words within a double-quoted string immediately before the @<distance> operator. For example, "jakarta apache"@10 looks for "apache" and "jakarta" within 10 words of each other.

Abegglen, Jo Ann C. “The Power of One: Selfless Service.” Devotional, Brigham Young University, July 11, 2006.
Display Abstract  Display Keywords

To be like the Savior is to be whole, which implies that we are engaged in acts of selfless service. Selfless service requires personal action, a desire to pick up our beds and walk. It is easy to give away excess money, used equipment, and used clothing. It is more difficult to give of our time, to give of our personal presence to help others.

Ball, Terry B. “To Confirm and Inform: A Blessing of Higher Education.” Devotional, Brigham Young University, March 11, 2008.
Display Abstract  Display Keywords

I believe that when an engineer, a musician, a social scientist, or anyone educated in a given discipline reads the scriptures, they too can gain insights and make discoveries unique to that discipline if they are looking for them and if they are observant. It is exciting to be a part of a community of learners who are doing so and then sharing their insights and discoveries with others. I hope you will develop the habit of being so observant—of regularly considering what your learning can tell you about the gospel and what the gospel can tell you about your learning.

May we all remember that gospel gifts typify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; that they may be given to us by God or by our fellow mortals; that the giving and receiving of gospel gifts are two separate actions; that our true receipt of a gospel gift is manifested by keeping the gift; and that giving thanks for our gospel gifts is itself a gospel gift because giving thanks also typifies Jesus Christ.

Let me ask you another question: What is Heavenly Father’s game plan for us? I am sure He would like you to implement some of your goals and some of your parents’ goals. But His game plan for us is found in Moses 1:39: “For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” Now that is a game plan. It appears to me that our Father in Heaven has high expectations for all of us. Have we embraced those goals?
