"From the beginning, God has instructed prophets to teach the covenant
people to honor the Sabbath day. God rested from His creative labors on
the seventh day. (See Moses
3:3; Gen. 2:2-3.)
This day was blessed and sanctified as a holy day.
"The fourth commandment to Moses was to 'remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy.' (Ex. 20:8.)
"Elder Bruce R. McConkie taught that 'Sabbath observance was a sign
between ancient Israel and their God whereby the chosen people might be
known.' (Bruce R. McConkie, "Mormon Doctrine," 2nd ed. [1966], 658; see
also Neh. 13:15-22;
Isa. 56:1-8; Jer.
17:19-27; Ezek.
46:1-7; Ex.
31:12-17.)
"Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognize
Sunday as the Sabbath in commemoration of the fact that Christ came
forth from the grave on Sunday, and the Apostles commenced meeting
thereafter on the first day of the week. (John
20:1-6; Luke 24:1;
Mark 16:1; Matt.
28:1; Acts 20:7.)"

"Brothers and sisters, the Lord loves widows. I know that the leaders
of the Church are concerned about the welfare of widows. We members
should care for and assist the widows within our family, home, ward,
and neighborhood. I urge you young people—members of the Primary,
youth, and young adults—to take the opportunity to assist and draw
strength from the widows in your community.
"May we be more caring and considerate to the widows of Zion is my
humble prayer." - Earl C. Tingey, "The
Widows of Zion," Ensign (CR), May 2000, p.

Sin and the need to repent might be represented by a man who takes a
journey. On his back is a large empty bag. From time to time, he picks
up a rock, representing the transgression of a law. He places the rock
in the bag on his back. Over time, the bag becomes full. It is heavy.
The man cannot continue on his journey. He must have a way to empty
the bag and remove the rocks. This can be done only by the Savior
through the Atonement. - Earl C. Tingey, "The
Great Plan of Happiness,” Ensign (CR) April 2006

In this dispensation, the Lord has established the law of tithing as
the law of revenue of His Church. Without it, we could not carry out
the eternal purposes of the Lord. It is also a law by which we show
our loyalty to the Lord and prove ourselves worthy for privileges,
ordinances, and blessings. – Earl C. Tingey, “The
Law of Tithing,” Ensign (CR) May 2002

The
Brethren
of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are
disciples who stand in holy places. They are not moved or swayed by
changing
times from what has been established as true in all prior generations.
The standards of the Church are firm and true. They are for your
safety and eternal
security. When you commit to live them, you are measured against
time-proven standards that are approved by God. - Earl
C.
Tingey, “For
the
Strength of Youth,” Ensign (CR), May 2004, p.49
