I love this work & marvel at its growth


 it is the faith within us that is evidence of all we do


The power to help lies within each of us

I wish to face each day with resolution & purpose.

without Him we are nothing. With Him we are everything
The Lord never asks us to do anything that He does not attach to it a blessing

I believe that if we will walk in obedience to the commandments of God...he will open a way where there appears to be no way

those who reach out to lift and serve others will come to know a happiness ... never known before. ... Heaven knows there are so very, very, very many people in this world who need help. Oh, so very ... many. Let's get the cankering, selfish attitude out of our lives, my brothers and sisters, and stand a little taller and reach a little higher in the service of others.


BE:
Grateful
Smart
Clean
True
Humble
Prayerful
Positive
Still (added by JR Holland)

If there is anything you & I need in the world, it is faith.

This is one of the greatest times there has ever been among men...these are also terrible times...All the sins of Sodom & Gomorrah haunt our society.

I do not worry about the youth that pray twice a day.
How different is life when we have a perspective of eternal life

I hope, my brothers & sisters, that you are holding your Family Home Evenings with your children. You cannot afford to postpone this. The days, the months, and the years will pass so quickly & before too long, it will be too late

Effective teaching is the very essence of leadership in the church

I can scarcely restrain my emotions as I think of what the Lord has done for us

The era in which we live is the fullness of times spoken of in the scriptures

During my own lifetime, I have witnessed miracle after wondrous miracle come to pass. We take it for granted.

We are not changing. The world’s perception of us is changing.

We live in a season where fierce men do terrible & despicable things. We live in a season of war. We live in a season of arrogance. We live in a season of wickedness, pornography, immorality. All the sins of Sodom & Gomorrah haunt our society.

Our voice is heard when we speak up.

Our strength is our faith in the Almighty.

May our faith shine forth as the sunlight of the morning. May we walk in obedience to His divine commandments. May He smile with favor upon us and as we go forward, may we bless humanity with an outreach to all, lifting those who are down trodden and oppressed; feeding & clothing the hungry & the needy; extending love & neighborliness to those about us who may not be a part of this church. The Lord has shown us the way.

We have done well…but we can do better, so much better
