More quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
It is obvious that the bumper sticker question What would Jesus do? will not always bring a popular response.
Jeffrey R. Holland
If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived. (The Inconvenient Messiah, BYU Speeches, Feb 15, 1982)
Jeffrey R. Holland
Coveting, pouting, or tearing others down does not elevate your standing, nor does demeaning someone else improve your self-image.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I know we can each do something, however small that act may seem to be. We can pay an honest tithe and give our fast and free-will offerings, according to our circumstances. And we can watch for other ways to help.
Jeffrey R. Holland
When fleeing the scene of temptation, do not leave a forwarding address.
Jeffrey R. Holland
In seeking true peace some of us need to improve what has to be improved, confess what needs to be confessed, forgive what needs to be forgiven, and forget what should be be forgotten in order that serenity can come to us.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Don't you quit! You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help & happiness ahead.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Don't hyperventilate about something that happened at 9:00 in the morning when the grace of God is trying to reward you at 6:00 in the evening.
Jeffrey R. Holland
In His own ministry, Jesus did not come to improve God's view of man nearly so much as He came to improve man's view of God and to plead with them to love their Heavenly Father as He has always and will always love them.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. Give priesthood blessings. And bear your testimony!
Jeffrey R. Holland
I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience. Salvation never was easy. We are the Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head. How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?
Jeffrey R. Holland
So we have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the poor to lift up, and the truth to defend. We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do. In short, we have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord. We can’t quit and we can’t go back.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Trust in God. Hold on to His love. Know that one day the dawn will break brightly and all shadows of mortality will flee.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself as you seek your way in life, I offer you the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Wherever else you think you may be going, I ask you to come unto Him as the imperative first step in getting there, in finding your individual happiness and strength and success.
Jeffrey R. Holland
We declare that one who uses the God-given body of another without divine sanction abuses the very soul of that individual, abuses the central purpose and processes of life.
Jeffrey R. Holland
We must never, in any age or circumstance, let fear and the father of fear (Satan himself) divert us from our faith and faithful living.
Jeffrey R. Holland
The Church is not a monastery for the isolation of perfect people. It is more like a hospital provided for those who wish to get well.
Jeffrey R. Holland
If we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some one of us will touch on your circumstance, sending a personal prophetic epistle just to you.
Jeffrey R. Holland
