"Charity is not just works or gift giving, but a condition of the soul, a
quality of our character. The gift of charity flows from God as He reveals His
love for us, and from our reciprocating-feeling love for God, His work, and His
children. That is why Alma could prophesy, 'And see that ye have faith, hope,
and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works' (Alma 7:24). Pride is the
opposite of charity. Selfishness, indifference, and indolence are enemies of
charity." - V. Dallas Merrell, "A
Vision of Service," Ensign, December 1996, p. 10

“We rejoice that the future belongs to
our Master, who created this world, provided the plan of salvation, and
established this church. For He himself declared: ‘For I, the Lord, have put
forth my hand to exert the powers of heaven; ye cannot see it now, yet a little
while and ye shall see it, and know that I am, and that I will come and reign
with my people.’ (D&C
84:119.)
“No other institution has the divine character as does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That is because it has true authority, revealed purpose, a divine work, committed disciples, a vision of our stewardship, and impelling principles of eternal progress.” - V. Dallas Merrell, “Power of the Church Rooted in Christ,” Ensign (CR), May 1993, p.28

“Our most fundamental
doctrines impel us to improve, individually and collectively. We counsel one
with another. We pray together and in secret. We acknowledge our weaknesses,
search scriptures, and ponder course adjustments. We receive the righteous
benefits from heavenly-inspired gifts of science, technology, and art. We
correlate, correct, and realign, bringing all truth we are capable of receiving
to harmonize our lives and the leadership and organization of this work with the
teachings and perfect example of our leader, Jesus Christ.” - V. Dallas
Merrell, “Power of the Church Rooted in Christ,” Ensign (CR), May 1993, p. 28
