Fridge Quotes

1. “Every one of us needs to stand tall and be strong and faithful and walk in the footsteps of the Master. We need to examine our own lives to see that they radiate the Spirit of the Lord who taught us the great saving principles of the gospel.”

2. “Each step, each day of my journey should move me progressively closer to Him. He doesn't expect or even want me to "run faster" than I am able. In fact, there may be days when I can't run at all. I may just be able to walk, crawl, or scoot, but my job is to be "diligent" or faithful as I move forward—no matter how small my progression.”

3. “Unlike chicks that are driven by instinct to seek their mother's protection, Christ's "children" make the choice to accept or reject his protective power. Christ will not subvert their agency even when he knows the pain their wrong choices will cause them. He warns, rebukes, and allows natural consequences to impact people when they sin. He teaches, guides, and allows blessings to flow when they do right. They are allowed to perish or prosper as they choose.”

4. “Life is not really a constant vertical climb. The process of spiritual growth and maturity seems to be one of climbing, pausing for rest and refreshment and reassurance, and then resuming the climb, on and on to the top. I am convinced that if we will seriously call upon the Lord and ask him regularly to bless us to feel what we ought to feel and see what we ought to see, we will feel the divine hand upon our shoulder, nudging us onward and upward, all the days of our lives.”

5. “No matter what I have been called to do in the Church, it has always seemed to me to be a tremendous privilege. I have found that service does something to you. It changes perspective; it stretches the soul; it refreshes and uplifts; it elevates our thinking and our feelings; it draws us closer to the Savior, who spends all of his time in selfless service to Heavenly Father and all of his children.”

6. “Any profane or mocking speech, writing, or action directed toward or about Deity or other sacred things is blasphemy. Likewise, anything that shows contempt, disdain, or deliberate disrespect for God or sacred things is blasphemy.”

7. “The 1920 scriptures committee included another innovation in the new edition: a “Pronouncing Vocabulary.” The Book of Mormon contains 337 proper names, more than half of which are unique to the volume. Without a standard to guide them, readers pronounced the names in different ways.”

9. “Our Mediator, our Redeemer, our Brother, our Advocate with the Father died for our sins and the sins of all mankind. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the foreordained but voluntary act of the Only Begotten Son of God. He offered His life as a redeeming ransom for us all. His mission, His ministry among men, His teachings of truth, His acts of mercy, His unwavering love for us prompts our gratitude and warms our hearts.”

10. “Just as the Sermon on the Mount begins on a mountain, it ends by talking about the wise man who builds upon that mountain, by not only hearing but actually patterning his house of righteousness after God's holy house. Progressively, through these stages of ascent, there comes first fulfillment of the law amidst the people of Israel, next perfection of each individual, and finally hearing the Lord himself say, "Enter," not "Depart" (3 Nephi 14:21-23). ”

11. “Integrity is the key to sailing a true course. If we have integrity, we will make our actions consistent with our knowledge of right and wrong. By contrast, if we know one thing and do another, our behavior creates an inner conflict and makes it impossible to feel at peace. We simply cannot think one way and act another. We must have integrity if we are to have peace within and feel GodÕs love.”

12. “People who are serious about spiritual things do not flirt with uncleanness, do not see how close they can get to the edge without quite going all the way. Too many who profess to be disciples of the Savior maintain such attitudes as the following: "I want to be good, I really do, but I don't want to be too good.' Or, "I want to try my hand at sinning for a while, just a little, without getting my hands dirty.' In other words, "I want to be bad, but not too bad.' Such ritual prodigalism in which premeditated sinning and repentance characterize attitudes and behavior are offensive to God and offputting to the Holy Spirit. Those who continue to fly near the flame will eventually be burned.”

13. “It matters little how trained one's voice is or even if one can carry a tune, if one's heart is genuinely offering up rejoicings to the heavens. I do not sing in church because I have a voice like Pavarotti or Andrea Bocelli or Josh Groban or Robert Peterson or Michael Ballam or Kenneth Cope, because (it goes without saying) I do not. I sing because it is a singular and significant part of my worship, because it contributes to the congregation's prayer to the Almighty. In addition, I sing because it allows me to shout out messages of the heart that my own words can utter in no other way.”

14. “We do our best, it is true, but it is worth knowing and acknowledging that our best will not be enough; we must have help. And we rejoice in the knowledge, a doctrine that is indeed the burden of scripture, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, to rescue and redeem people like you and me, to make up the difference, to make all the difference, and thus to make us different.”

15. “Rather than walking in their own way, true disciples walk in the path pointed out and prepared by their Master. Instead of creating God in their image, true Saints seek to be conformed to the image of Christ and to allow that image to shine in their countenances.”

16. “Not only have I found the temple to be a place of peace and revelation but I have also found it to be the place where, as a result of making and keeping sacred covenants, I have been endowed with power from on high, have been upheld and become established. I have experienced fulfillment of the promised blessings that "no combination of wickedness shall have power to rise up and prevail over thy people." I have found the strength so as to not "faint in the day of trouble."”

17. “There is only one way to safely and confidently meet the obstacles and opportunities that are part of life's path: Listen to the prophet and the Apostles, study the principles we teach, and then take those principles to the Lord and ask Him how you should apply them in your life. Ask Him to influence your thoughts, temper your actions, and guide your steps.”

20. “We are not an island alone, and we need each other to become our best selves. We stand on our own feet and carry our own burdens, but we lift our sisters as we lift ourselves. And most important of all, we know from whence comes our strength as sisters of the latter days: in our Lord and Savior, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and in His Atonement.”
