I believe our problems, almost every one, arise out of the homes of the people. If there is to be reformation, if there is to be a change, if there is to be a return to the old and sacred values, it must begin in the home.
It is here that truth is learned, that integrity is cultivated, that self-discipline is instilled, and that love is nurtured.Speaker: Gordon B. HinckleyPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:34 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

Clean, clear, bright-eyed missionaries, laboring two-by-two, have become a living symbol of the church everywhere. They themselves are the first gospel message their investigators encounter.

The test a loving God has set before us is not to see if we can endure difficulty. It is to see if we can endure it well.
…We need strength beyond ourselves to keep the commandments in whatever circumstance life brings to us. For some it may be poverty, but for others it may be prosperity. It may be the ravages of age or the exuberance of youth. The combination of trials and their duration are as varied as are the children of our Heavenly Father. No two are alike.
But what is being tested is the same, at all times in our lives and for every person: will we do whatsoever the Lord our God will command us?Speaker: Henry B. EyringPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:31 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
When you meet someone, treat them as if they were in serious trouble, and you will be right more than half the time.

Is there something in you or in your life that is impure or unworthy? When you get rid of it, that is a gift to the Savior. Is there a good habit or quality that is lacking in your life? When you adopt it and make it part of your character, you are giving a gift to the Lord. Sometimes this is hard to do, but would your gifts of repentance and obedience be worthy gifts if they cost you nothing?
Don’t be afraid of the effort required.Speaker: D. Todd ChristoffersonPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:30 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
What if the day of His coming were tomorrow? If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow – through our premature death or through His unexpected coming – what would we do today? What confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What accounts would we settle? What forgiveness would we extend? What testimonies would we bear?
If we would do those things then, why not now? Why not seek peace while peace can be obtained?Speaker: Dallin H. OaksPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:29 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
The Lord is master of the unlikely, and He expects the impossible.

Without a strong commitment to the Lord, an individual is more prone to have a low level of commitment to a spouse. Weak commitments to eternal covenants lead to losses of eternal consequence.
If Satan can get you to love anything – fun, flirtation, fame, or fortune – more than a spouse or the Lord with whom you have made sacred covenants to endure, the adversary begins to triumph.Speaker: Russell M. NelsonPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:28 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
My experience is that once you stop putting question marks behind the prophet’s statements and put exclamation points instead, and do it, the blessings just pour.
I never ask myself, “when does the prophet speak as a prophet and when does he not?” My interest has been, “how can I be more like him?”Speaker: Russell M. NelsonPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:27 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
I testify that you are among the future leaders of the earth. You are the future leaders of our society and the Church. You need not look like the world. Your personal habits should be different. Your recreation should be different. Your concern for your family will be different. As you establish this distinctiveness firmly in your life’s pattern, the blessings of heaven await to assist you.

The most productive farmer in the world would be unsuccessful if he didn’t harvest his crops. Do something about your ideas. Take the initiative to share your thoughts with others and to take action on your own.

Never make someone choose between your ways and the Lord’s ways… Make sure that you’re making it easier to live God’s commandments for those who are by your side and who are your friends. Then you will understand whether you have charity.

Some people operate in a spirit of contention – clever with words from much practice, but not focused on correcting their own imperfections. They focus on the imperfections of others. The Spirit of the Lord withdraws from them with their fault-finding and contentions. Unless they change, they rarely endure to the end but fall away in time.

When temptation comes, do not change your standards. Do not abandon them when circumstances seem to justify an exception. That is Satan’s way to hurt you by making it seem that sometimes God’s law does not apply. There are not exceptions.

To recognize the hand of the Lord in your life and to accept His will without complaint is a beginning. That decision does not immediately eliminate the struggles that will come for your growth. But I witness that it is the best way there is for you to find strength and understanding. It will free you from the dead ends of your own reasoning.

If you question everything you are asked to do, our dig in your heels at every unpleasant challenge, you make it harder for the Lord to bless you.
