Prophets - Glenn L. Pace

Quote By: Glenn L. Pace
Topic: Prophets
Quote: There are some of our member who practice selective obedience.  A prophet is not one who displays a smorgasbord of truth from which we are free to pick and choose. However, some members become critical and suggest the prophet should change the menu.  A prophet doesn't take a poll to see which way the wind of public opinion is blowing.  He reveals the will of the Lord to us.  The world is full of deteriorating churches who have succumbed to public opinion and have become more dedicated to tickling the ears of their members than obeying the laws of God.

Friendship - Robert D. Hales

Quote By: Robert D. Hales
Topic: Friendship
Quote: Do you know how to recognize a true friend?  A real friend loves us and protects us.  In recognizing a true friend we must look for two important elements in that friendship: A true friend makes it easier for us to live the gospel by being around him.  Similarly, a true friend does not make us choose between his way and the Lord's way.

Obedience - Boyd K. Packer

Quote By: Boyd K. Packer

Revelation - Bruce R. McConkie

Quote By: Bruce R. McConkie
Topic: Revelation
Quote: How to get personal revelation 1) Search the Scriptures.  2) Keep the Commandments.  3) Ask in Faith.  Any person who will do this will get his heart so in tune with the infinite that there will come into his being, from the "still small voice," the eternal realities of religion.  And as he progresses and advances and comes nearer to God, there will be a day when he will entertain angels, when he will see visions, and the final end is to view the face of God.

Temple Work - Richard G. Scott

Quote By: Richard G. Scott
Topic: Temple Work
Quote: Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As you grow older, you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances as well. I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life.

New Insights - Jeffrey R. Holland

Quote By: Jeffrey R. Holland
Topic: New Insights
Quote: New insights always affect old perspectives, and thus some rethinking, rearranging, and restructuring of our worldviews is inevitable. When we look beyond people’s color, ethnic group, social circle, church, synagogue, mosque, creed, and statement of belief, and when we try our best to see them for who and what they are—children of the same God—something good and worthwhile happens within us, and we are thereby drawn into a closer union with that God who is the Father of us all.

Game Plan - S. Gifford Nielsen

Quote By: S. Gifford Nielsen
Topic: Game Plan
Quote: When I played football, I thought in terms of game plans. There was no question going into a contest that if our team was prepared with the right plays, we were going to be successful. However, I recently spoke with BYU’s legendary coach LaVell Edwards about our game plans, and he said, “I didn’t care what play you called just as long as we scored a touchdown!” As one of his quarterbacks, I thought it was much more complex than that, but maybe his simple philosophy is the reason he has a stadium named after him.
