Callings in the church, as important as they are, by their very nature are only for a period of time, and then an appropriate release takes place.
The true scientist no longer attempts to disprove the pull of gravity, or the rotation of the earth, or the motion of heavenly bodies, or the sequence of the seasons, or man's need of food and water, or the function of the heart.
Fathers, yours is an eternal calling from which you are never released.
God lives. I know that He lives. I know that Jesus is the Christ and the Redeemer of the world.
I challenge those who are in business and other professions to see that there are copies of the Book of Mormon in their reception rooms.
Time is on the side of truth.
Was it not through pride that the devil became the devil? Christ wanted to serve. The devil wanted to rule.
Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing. The central feature of pride is enmity - enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen.
I am grateful my own eternal companion served a mission in Hawaii before we were married in the Salt Lake Temple, and I am pleased that I have had three granddaughters serve full-time missions.
God our Father, Jesus, our Elder Brother and our Redeemer, and the Holy Ghost, the Testator, are perfect. They know us best and love us most and will not leave one thing undone for our eternal welfare. Should we not love them for it and honor them first?
In general, the more food we eat in its natural state - without additives - and the less it is refined, the healthier it will be for us. Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies of certain elements in the body can promote mental depression.
I love all our Father's children of every color, creed, and political persuasion.
Food production is just one part of the repeated emphasis that you store a provision of food which will last for at least a year wherever it is legally permissible to do so.
I am a witness to nations and people deprived of their freedom. I was there. I watched that great Iron Curtain drop around nations which formerly had prized their freedom - good people. I was aghast as these were written off by the stroke of a pen.
Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.
Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's.
Some men are willing to die for their faith, but they are not willing to fully live for it. Christ both lived and died for us.
I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed his stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land.
Faithful attendance at Church meetings brings blessings you can receive in no other way.
Nations cannot endure in sin.
