Brothers and sisters, I believe that if we could truly understand the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we would realize how precious is one son or daughter of God. I believe our Heavenly Father’s everlasting purpose for His children Is generally achieved by the small and simple things we do for one another. At the heart of the English word ‘atonement’ is the word ‘one.’
If all mankind understood this, there would never be anyone with whom we would not be concerned, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or social or economic standing. We would strive to emulate the Savior and would never be unkind, indifferent, disrespectful, or insensitive to others.Speaker: M. Russell BallardPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:44 AMComments: None...

Though this world has a way of diminishing and demeaning men and women, the reality is we are all of royal, divine lineage.
…There is a level at which the child’s hymn ‘I am a child of God’ harmonizes with the music of eternity. We are children of God. Each one of us is precious to the point of bringing the Lord God Almighty to a fullness of joy if we are faithful, or to tears if we are not.Speaker: M.

Perilous times? Yes. These are perilous times. But the human race has lived imperil from the time before the earth was created. Somehow, through all of the darkness, there has been a faint but beautiful light. And now with added luster it shines upon the world.

Brethren, there is too little religious devotion, love, and fear of God in the home; too much worldliness, selfishness, indifference, and lack of reverence in the family, or it would never exist so abundantly on the outside. Then, the home is what needs reforming. Try today, and tomorrow, to make a change in your home.

The crosshairs of Satan’s scope are centered on husbands and fathers… We warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

To be able to perceive by inspiration the common and ordinary things of life in their true meaning is a special gift… To be able to recognize when one is being guided by the Spirit is a supernal gift.

Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God’s approval. Courage becomes a living and an attractive virtue when it is regarded not only as a willingness to die manfully, but also as a determination to live decently.
…Courage is not the absence of fear but the mastery of it.Speaker: Thomas S. MonsonPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:37 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don’t wait too long to find the alter or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt; the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.

…Do not expect the world’s solutions to the world’s problems to be very effective. Such solutions often resemble… those who go dashing back and forth with fire extinguishers in times of flood. Only the Gospel is constantly relevant, and the substitute things won’t work.

How can we ever repay the debt we owe to the Savior? He paid a debt He did not owe to free us from a debt we can never pay. Because of Him, we will live forever. Because of His infinite Atonement, our sins can be swept away, allowing us to experience the greatest of all the gifts of God; eternal life.
Can such a gift have a price? Can we ever make compensation for such a gift?Speaker: Joseph B. WirthlinPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:35 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
