There's no credit buying on eternal things, none at all. Anything that is worthwhile has to be paid for in advance.

I hope to be judged as good a man as my father. Before I hear those words well done from my Heavenly Father, I hope to first hear them from my mortal father.

You cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.

The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
Boyd K. Packer

Joseph's vision of the Father and the Son opened this dispensation. Then came the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ with the same organization that existed in the primitive Church, built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets.

Seek worthy companions. Attend church faithfully. Never fail daily to seek for help through prayer. And I promise you that the way will be easier and you shall have a composure of mind and a confident attitude toward life and the future. You shall be warned of dangers and shall be guided through the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.

Freedom is not a self-preserving gift. It has to be earned, and it has to be protected.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.

Peace can be settled in the heart of each who turns to the scriptures and unlocks the promises of protection and redemption that are taught therein.

Image
The gift of the Holy Ghost operates equally with men, women, and even little children. It is within this wondrous gift and power that the spiritual remedy to any problem can be found.

Image
An unusual thing happened after that great first vision. The Prophet Joseph received no additional communication for three years. However, he did not wonder, he did not question, he did not doubt the Lord. The Prophet Joseph patiently waited. The Prophet Joseph taught us the principle of patience-by example.

Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.

Image
The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
