"The vision of the New Jerusalem has moved generations of mankind.
It has moved our people. We look to the day when 'Christ will reign
personally upon the earth.' (A
of F 1:10.) But, as the prophet Malachi asked, 'Who may abide
the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth?' (Mal.
3:2.) Let us prepare to abide the day of his coming by
building Zion in our hearts, in our families, as we make pages for
the future history of the Church." — G.

"The history of the Church
is filled with such thrilling episodes. This history is the heritage of
the most recent convert, whether in Asia, Africa, or elsewhere in the
world. As Paul wrote to the Galatians, 'For as many of you as have been
baptized into Christ have put on Christ.'
"'And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according
to the promise.' (Gal.
3:27, 29.)
"We face serious challenges today. Are Latter-day Saint homes throughout
the world producing men and women of courage, and obedient children?
Will our children stay in place and not fall into the dangerous defiles
of life? What kind of history are Latter-day Saints today producing for
the future history of the Church?" - G.

We know that Savior to be the Lord
Jesus Christ. From many, many experiences over my lifetime, I can truly
testify to you that He truly is our Savior; and if the Father is
approached in prayer, as His Son has commanded us, doors will open to
help us move forward without fear in life. That all men everywhere may
come to realize and know the significance of Jesus the Christ, the One
chosen before the foundation of the world, is my faith and witness. - G.

Always the thoughtful mind discerns the need for revelation and divine
guidance. All that we see about us in science, technology, architecture,
agriculture—civilization in general—can be truly said to be the fruit of
history in the broadest sense. Where revelation and divine guidance have
been absent, or ignored, we see the stark contrasts in history. - G.

I love
the words of King Benjamin as we find them in Mosiah: “And behold, I
tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that
when ye are in
the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your
God.” (Mosiah
2:17.)
The world needs to remember this and to know that it derives from the “love of God” which Nephi declared was “abroad in the hearts of the children of men” (1 Ne. 11:22), that all of us need to be awakened to its presence within us. And that,brethren, is part of our great mission. – G. Homer Durham, “The Validity of the Gospel,” Ensign (CR) May 1977
