“In both the Holy Land of the New Testament and the promised land of the Book of Mormon, [our Savior] spent considerable time teaching and instructing and training His councils and council leaders, and then He sent them forth to share what they had learned with others.”

“It is a shortsighted priesthood leader who doesn't see the value in calling upon the sisters to share the understanding and inspiration they possess.”

M. Russell Ballard

(Counseling with Our Councils)

Print
“Remember, presidents and bishops, that the callings of your associates are just as divinely inspired as is yours, and they are therefore entitled to inspiration in their specific responsibilities. Lean upon them. Learn from them. Love them. Listen to them.”

M. Russell Ballard

“Repentance can bring about a new view of God, about oneself, and about the world. Trials and tests become an invitation to see things as God sees them and to change our thoughts and actions to live according to the way things really are—they are an invitation to repent!”

Chris Williams

“The temple is also a place of personal inspiration and revelation. Legion are those who in times of stress, when difficult decisions must be made and perplexing problems must be handled, have come to the temple in a spirit of fasting and prayer to seek divine direction. Many have testified that while voices of revelation were not heard, impressions concerning a course to follow were experienced at that time or later which became answers to their prayers.”

Gordon B. Hinckley

“We must firmly set our hearts on those things that matter most. We cannot allow ourselves to become distracted, distraught, or discouraged.”

Elaine Dalton

Print
“The scriptures testify that the restored Church will act as a shield to protect the righteous of all creeds as violence and wickedness increase in the earth. As the trials that precede the Lord's coming become more severe, many people who choose to abstain from the violence will look to the Saints for refuge.”

Casey Paul Griffiths

“Satan often offers an alluring illusion of anonymity. Lucifer always has sought to accomplish his work in secret (see Moses 5:30). Remember, however, that apostasy is not anonymous simply because it occurs in a blog or through a fabricated identity in a chat room or virtual world. Immoral thoughts, words, and deeds always are immoral, even in cyberspace. Deceitful acts supposedly veiled in secrecy, such as illegally downloading music from the Internet or copying CDs or DVDs for distribution to friends and families, are nonetheless deceitful. We are all accountable to God, and ultimately we will be judged of Him according to our deeds and the desires of our hearts (see Alma 41:3). "For as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). The Lord knows who we really are, what we really think, what we really do, and who we really are becoming. He has warned us that "the rebellious shall be pierced with much sorrow; for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their secret acts shall be revealed" (Doctrine and Covenants 1:3).”

David A. Bednar

“When we have sinned, God calls us to repent and then promises us forgiveness; when we face weakness, God calls us to humility and then promises us grace.”

Wendy Ulrich

(Voices of Hope)

Print
“When we press forward with steadfastness in Christ with a perfect brightness of hope, our lives have meaning. . . . Our otherwise routine activities can become an offering on the altar of God. We don't just serve; we nurture. We don't just take our neighbor a loaf of bread; we share the bread of life. We're not just teaching a class; we're changing a life. Our gospel study goes beyond knowing about Him to knowing Him and striving to be filled, as He was, with the love of God.”

Ardeth G. Kapp

(Doing What We Came to Do)

“In blessing others, we are blessed. Let us continue our labors of love as God shall give us strength.”
