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.

Credit is so easy to obtain. In fact, it is almost thrust upon us. Those who use credit cards to overspend unwisely should consider eliminating them. It is much better that a plastic credit card should perish than a family dwindle and perish in debt.

…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.

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!
