Image
Conversion is an offering of self, of love, and of loyalty we give to God in gratitude for the gift of testimony.
David A. Bednar
Image
Priesthood is the means whereby the Lord acts through men to save souls. One of the defining features of the Church of Jesus Christ, both anciently and today, is His authority. There can be no true Church without divine authority.

Image
I now extend to you the invitation to help transform the trickle into a flood….I exhort you to sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth—messages that are authentic, edifying, and praiseworthy—and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood.

Let me recommend that periodically you and I offer a prayer in which we only give thanks and express gratitude. Ask for nothing simply let our souls rejoice and strive to communicate appreciation with all the energy of our hearts.

Trust and confidence in Christ and a ready reliance on His merits, mercy, and grace lead to hope, through His Atonement, in the Resurrection and eternal life. Such faith and hope invite into our lives the sweet peace of conscience for which we all yearn.

The ancient Apostles were common men, and that was part of their credential.
David A. Bednar
Image
Strong faith in the Savior is submissively accepting of His will and timing in our lives, even if the outcome is not what we hoped for or wanted.
David A. Bednar
Image
Pray and seek for strength to change our circumstances rather than praying for our circumstances to be changed
David A. Bednar
Image
The Lord's truth is not altered by fads, trends or public opinion.
David A. Bednar
Image
Testimony is the beginning of and a prerequisite to continuing conversion. Testimony is a point of departure it is not an ultimate destination. Strong testimony is the foundation upon which conversion is established. Testimony alone is not and will not be enough to protect us in the latter-day storm of darkness and evil in which we are living.

One of my favorite activities as a priesthood leader is visiting members of the Church in their homes. I especially enjoy calling upon and talking with members who commonly are described as 'less active.'

Image
The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live.

Image
Every sincere prayer is heard and answered by our Heavenly Father, but the answers we receive may not be what we expect or come to us when we want or in the way we anticipate.

Image
Faithful parents can invite the power of heaven to influence their children. Nevertheless, those children remain agents unto themselves, and the choice to repent or not ultimately is theirs.

Image
Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results.

If all opposition were curtailed, if all maladies were removed, then the primary purposes of the Father's plan would be frustrated.
