Book of Mormon
The scripture says, in the mouths of two or more witnesses shall all things be established. There is one witness, that is the Holy Bible. Where is the other witness? The other witness is the Book of Mormon. And in the mouths of those two books of scripture, the truth of this work is established. — From Vladivostok, Russia, member meeting, July 31, 2005
Example of righteous living
We're coming to be recognized as a good people, a people of kindness, of love, and willingness to reach out and help and bless those all around us. Heaven is smiling upon us and it behooves every one of us to reciprocate with the living of a righteous life and doing the will of the Lord. — From St. George Utah West Stake Conference, Feb. 27, 2005
God is our Father
God is our Eternal Father. He is the great Governor of the universe. There is none to excel Him, none to equal Him. He is over all, and yet He is our Father. . . . He has a body, and He can speak to us as a Father counsels His children. We were created under His direction and in His image. What a wonderful and remarkable thing it is to know that the great God of the universe is the Father of our individual spirits, and that there is something of divinity within each of us. It matters not our nationality, the color of our skin, or the shape of our eyes. We are all sons and daughters of the Eternal God who loves us and is anxious and willing and able to help us if we will ask for help. — From Australia Stake Conference satellite broadcast, Feb. 12, 2005
Live the gospel
This gospel of which we partake is the way of happiness. It is the way of peace. It is the way of love. It is the way of health, goodness, virtue, and all of the wonderful attributes that come of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to say to you, live the gospel, my brothers and sisters — live it! And as you live it, your lives will grow in happiness. I have not the slightest question about that. — From Nairobi, Kenya, member meeting, Aug. 4, 2005
Our refuge, our peace
We live in terribly complex times. We are confronted by very serious problems. Some of us are faced with sickness, with economic difficulties, with worry and concern over many matters. Our refuge, our peace, our well being lies in walking in the way of the Lord. — From Australia Stake Conference satellite broadcast, Feb. 12, 2005
Preach the gospel
Go out and preach the work. The first obligation laid upon this church, even before it was organized, was the obligation to go out and teach the gospel. That obligation has never been lifted. It has been with us ever since. — From South Carolina missionary meeting, Nov. 20, 2004
Stand taller
We live in a world of filth, and immorality, and trouble. Rise above it, stand taller, leave the world behind you, and walk as the Lord would have you walk. — From Vladivostok, Russia, member meeting, July 31, 2005
Worthy to attend temple
I challenge every father and husband to see that he is worthy to take his wife and children to the temple. There is nothing in all (of) this world that will substitute for it. It is the greatest blessing that can come to any couple. Don't put it off. If you need to repent, repent today and qualify to receive a temple recommend. — From Santiago, Chile, member meeting, March 11, 2006
