[Obedience] is the most simple test to give knowledge to an individual of which the human mind can conceive. Doing a thing, introducing it into your very being, will convince you of whether it is good or whether it is bad. You may not be able to convince me of that which you know, but you know it, because you have lived it.

Satan will always work on the saints of God to undermine their faith in priesthood keys. One way he does it is to point out the humanity of those who hold them. He can in that way weaken our testimony and so cut us loose from the line of keys by which the Lord ties to Him and can take us and our families home to Him and to our Heavenly Father.

All intelligent beings who are crowned with crowns of glory, immortality, and eternal lives must pass through every ordeal appointed for intelligent beings to pass through to gain their glory and exaltation. Every calamity that can come upon moral beings will be suffered to come upon the few, to prepare them to enjoy the presence of the Lord… Every trial and experience you have passed through is necessary for your salvation.

Dr. Arthur Wentworth Hewitt suggested some reasons why the good suffer as well as the wicked: ‘First: I don’t know. Second: We may not be as innocent as we think. Third: …I believe it is because He loves us so much more than He loves our happiness. How so? Well, if on a basis of strict personal return here and now, all the good were always happy and all the bad suffered disaster (instead of often quite the reverse), this would be the most subtle damnation of character imaginable.

When we understand who God is, who we are, how He loves us, and what His plan is for us, fear evaporates. When we get the tiniest glimpse of these truths, our concern over worldly things vanishes. To think we actually fall for Satan’s lies that power, fame, or wealth is truly important is laughable – or would be were it not so sad.

The doctrine of inspiration is lost… miracles, prophecy… the holy life, exist as ancient history [only]… men have come to speak of… revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead… It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was; that He speaketh, not spake.

It seems to me [an]… unreasonable thing, to suppose that there should be a God… that has so much concern [for us]… and yet that He should never speak,… that there should be no word [from Him].

Have you noticed how Satan works to capture the mind and emotions with flashing images, blaring music, and the stimulation of every physical sense to excel? He diligently strives to fill life with action, entertainment, and the stimulation so that one cannot ponder the consequences of his tempting invitations.

The mantle of leadership is not the cloak of comfort, but the role of responsibility… ‘Youth need fewer critics and more models [to follow].’ One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of car we drove, what kind of a house we lived in, how much we had in the bank account, nor what our clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because we were important in the life of a boy or girl.

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...

We are all the spirit sons and daughters of a loving God who is our Father. We are part of His family. He is not a father in some allegorical or poetic sense. He is literally the Father of our spirits…
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. Russell BallardPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:43 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

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.
