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?

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?

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! -

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.

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! -

The question is not one of managing time, but one of managing ourselves with the time we have. Each minute is a little thing and yet with respect to our personal productivity, to manage the minute is the secret of success.

[Doing] assists the education of the conscience and reinforces its knowledge in ways that no amount of church attending or studying can. Doing actually changes the fiber of a person’s nature – his soul, his conscience, his character. Doing changes his view of himself. A person’s behavior is largely a product of such self-made fuel.

We simply can’t repent of our sins unless we repent of sinning. Unless we change our lifestyle by rooting gout of our nature these deeply-embedded habits and dispositions, we will continue on in a self-deceiving circular process of making and breaking resolutions to change and improve. In other words, we need to change our method of changing ourselves. We need a power source to help us, one which is stronger and more penetrating than the strength and depth of these habits.

I believe that most of us horribly neglect this creative power within us. We live too much out of our memories, too little out of our imaginations. Realize it or not, control it or not, the spiritual (mental) creation precedes the physical creation in all things. Always begin with the end in mind. Most of life’s battles are really lost in private, not in public.

The adversary would love to have us engaged with him, to fight him on his own territory. He would rather have us be angry toward him than ignore him and be involved in our own work on the Lord’s territory. If he can engage us, he can win. But if we have nothing to do with him, there is no way in which he can win. He is a parasite.
