Fridge Quotes

  1. “As disciples of the Savior, we are not merely striving to know more; rather, we need to consistently do more of what we know is right and become better. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them" (John 13:17).”
    David A. Bednar
    (Act in Doctrine)
    Print
     
  2. “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.”
    Gordon B. Hinckley
    (Stand a Little Taller)
    Print
     
  3. “A growing number of religious leaders and scholars have chosen to jettison the word "cult" in describing Mormonism, fully cognizant of the offense it causes Latter-day Saints and equally aware of how seriously misleading the word can be to those who know little about the Church. It is easy to dismiss another person who sees things differently, but it is difficult to pay the price to understand what that person really believes and feels. It is easy to pigeonhole, categorize, marginalize, or even demonize someone you don't know. On the other hand, it is much more difficult to believe the worst about a friend you have come to trust and love.”

  4. “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.”

  5. “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.”
    Jane Allis-Pike

  6. “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.”
    Robert L. Millet

  7. “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.”
    David S. Baxter
    (A Perfect Brightness of Hope)
    Print
     
  8. “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.”
    Andrew C. Skinner
    (LDS Beliefs)
    Print
     
  9. “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.”
    William W. Slaughter, Richard E. Turley, Jr.

  10. “I truly believe that one virtuous woman or man, led by the Spirit, can change the world!”
    Elaine Dalton
    (A Return to Virtue)

  11. “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.”
    Thomas S. Monson

  12. “Some people—even some Latter-day Saints—get confused and mistakenly think that it is only our good works that will save us in the celestial kingdom. If we can only pay enough tithing, go to enough church meetings, set up 100,000 metal chairs, and serve enough people, then we will be qualified for heaven! Wrong. Those good works are wonderful—but they won’t save us. Our good works contribute to our salvation in the sense that they act as prerequisites for making covenants with God.”
    Anthony Sweat, John Hilton III

  13. “You have been exercising faith in Jesus Christ since before you were born. In a way, you’re not here to gain a testimony—you’re here to simply remember the one you’ve always had.”
    Anthony Sweat, John Hilton III

  14. “Let’s not only believe . . . let’s have our beliefs change us to become Christlike people.”
    Anthony Sweat, John Hilton III
    (The Big Picture)
    Print
     
  15. “Once we have this main idea fixed in our mind—that God is trying to help us become more like Him—all other aspects of the plan of salvation begin to make more sense and fall into place.”
    Anthony Sweat, John Hilton III
    (The Big Picture)
    Print
     
  16. “Imagine our excitement when our Heavenly Father told us of His eternal plan of salvation and said that if we would follow the plan we could become like Him and eventually have—for ourselves—an eternal marriage and family of our very own! And now we are here on earth, trying to create that future eternal family for ourselves.”
    Anthony Sweat, John Hilton III
    (The Big Picture)

  17. “Tall people didn’t become tall overnight. Accomplished artists didn’t learn to paint in a day. Physical muscles aren’t built by lifting one weight in a single workout. And spiritually converted people didn’t become like Christ in an instant.
    ”

  18. “"Do you see any vultures or birds of prey among those beautiful, peaceful swans? There are only swans! Why? Because birds of a feather flock together!" [The] message was simple. Our friends will reflect what kind of person we are.”
    Robert D. Hales
    (Return)

  19. “If Saints do right and have performed all required of them in this probation, they are under no more obligation, and then it is no matter whether they live or die, for their work here is finished. This is a doctrine I believe.”
    Brigham Young
    (As Sisters in Zion)
    Print
     
  20. “I pray that we will seek the gifts of the Spirit which will increase our holiness. Because of the Savior's infinite Atonement, those gifts are right there, waiting to help us to become more holy. With enduring and persistent personal effort, we can access those gifts of the Spirit, those gifts from the Lord. Through this process, we truly can become a little more holy today than yesterday, and a little more holy tomorrow than we are today.”
    Wendy Watson Nelson
