Faith is based on truth, and is preceded by knowledge. Until a person gains a knowledge of the truth he can have no faith… faith and truth cannot be separated; if there is to be faith, saving faith, faith unto life and salvation, faith that leads to the celestial world, there must first be truth. Not only is true knowledge of God a conditional precedent to the acquirement of this faith, but faith can be exercised only by those who conform to the principles of truth which come from the true God who actually exists.

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! -

In modern revelation, the Lord defines truth as “knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come.” (D&C 93:24) Notice very carefully the words used to describe truth. Truth is a knowledge of things. In other words, it is an internal mental understanding or grasping of the way things really are; it is the subjective accurately reflecting the objective, the personal correctly reflecting the real, the map truly reflecting the territory.

Most of us perhaps have attended a Priesthood class or a Sunday school class wherein we sensed that celestial principles were being discussed in a telestial spirit, a spirit in which abstract knowledge essentially eclipses love.

If you had an inaccurate map of a city, you would be both lost and frustrated. If someone counseled you to try harder and you doubled your speed, you would merely be lost twice as fast. If the person sensed how discouraged you were and counseled you to think positively rather than negatively, you would still be lost but perhaps you wouldn’t care about it as much.

Confusion is the chief cause of worry… I have found that if a man will devote his time to securing facts in an impartial, objective way, his worries will usually evaporate in the light of knowledge.

But with bleak honesty Jubal admitted that the Fosterites might own the Truth, the exact Truth, nothing but the Truth. The Universe was a silly place at best… but the least likely explanation for it was the no-explanation of random chance, the conceit that abstract somethings “just happened” to be atoms that “just happened” to get together in ways which “just happened” to look like consistent laws and some configurations “just happened” to possess self-awareness and that two “just happened” to be the Man from Mars and a bald-headed old coot with Jubal inside.
No, he could not swallow the “just happened” theory, popular as it was with men who called themselves scientists. Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe – random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance; the pot could not hold itself.Speaker: Robert HeinleinPosted: 20 Aug 2008 at 10:54 AMComments: None...

Will decided he would correct any erroneous impressions he might have given slowly and patiently, but halfway through their first time out alone together, he was reminded of the old April Fool’s Day joke about Britain changing over to driving on the right, and making the changeover gradually. Either you lied or you told the truth, it appeared, and that in-between state was pretty tricky to achieve.

One day, he thought, he might learn the lesson that lying about one’s very identity was a purely short-term strategy, useful only in relationships that had a limited life-span. You could tell a bus conductor or a taxi driver all sorts of rubbish, provided the journey was brief, but if you intended to spend the rest of your life with somebody, then it was kind of inevitable that she would find out things sooner or later.

Marcus was right, of course, but being right was no use if the rest of the world was wrong.

Once you stop pretending that everything’s shitty and you can’t wait to get out of it, which is the story I’d been telling myself for a while, then it gets more painful, not less. Telling yourself life is shit is like an anesthetic, and when you stop taking the Advil, then you really can tell how much it hurts, and where, and it’s not like that kind of pain does anyone a whole lot of good.

Oh, but I know what you need to keep yourself going. That probably sounds funny, considering why we were all in there in that coffee bar in the first place. But the fact is that so far I have kept myself going, even if I had to climb the stairs to the roof of Toppers’ House to do it. Sometimes you just need to give things a tiny little jiggle. You just need to think that perhaps someone might have helped themselves to their own earrings, and your part of the world looks like somewhere you could live in for a while.
