"Prophets ancient and modern were and are giants of the Lord, chosen
and
ordained before they came to this earth. Our prophets are men whom the
Lord has
raised up specifically to preside over the Church for the particular
time in
which they have served. The Lord is working through the leaders of His
Church
today, just as He has always done in the past. President Wilford
Woodruff said,
'If we had before us every revelation which God ever gave to man . and
they were
piled up here a hundred feet high, the Church and kingdom of God could
not grow,
in this or any other age of the world, without the living oracles of
God.' ('The
Keys of the Kingdom,' Millennial Star, 51:548)" - Virginia U. Jensen,

"While his enemies gained power through fraud and deceit, Moroni
empowered
the Nephites by teaching them to be faithful to God (see Alma
48:7). How do we, like
Captain Moroni, create places of security for those around us in these
sometimes
frightening and perilous times? We can begin by following the
admonition found
in 1 Timothy 4:12 [1
Tim. 4:12]:
'Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in
charity, in
spirit, in faith, in purity.'" - Virginia U. Jensen, "Creating
Places
of Security," Ensign, November 1997, p. 90

"Do we fully appreciate what a
wondrous blessing it is to each one of us that we have found our
prophet? The ways in which our lives have been enriched by listening
to our prophet's voice are numerous. We have a clearer picture of
who we are and what we mean to our Father in Heaven. We have
received commandments and counsel to guide us, reminders to keep us
on the straight and narrow, and encouraging words to spur us on when
we become disheartened or discouraged. If we listen to the voices of
the world, we will be misled. But if we listen to the voice of the
Lord through His living prophet and follow his counsel, we will
never go astray." - Virginia U. Jensen, "Come,
Listen to a Prophet's Voice," Ensign, Nov. 1998, p. 13

"We can all find ourselves in
places of darkness from time to time. We may wander into dark, spiritual
caverns when we make foolish choices, admit harmful influences into our
lives, or turn away from the light of the gospel to embrace the world
just a little longer. It may seem harmless at first—just
a little exploring, that's all.
Before we know it, we become separated from the light and left in
darkness alone. Why do we remain in darkness when such rescuing light
awaits us? Let us bask in the warm and illuminating light provided by
the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let the Savior's
kindly light lead us one step at a time. Let covenants and commandments
keep us safe as we follow the gospel pathway to our heavenly home."
- Virginia U. Jensen, "Lead,
Kindly Light," Ensign
(CR), November 2000, p.62

To provide safety for those
around us, we as sisters need to expand our knowledge of all things
spiritual. We need to learn and progress in understanding and teach
our children those things that will make them less vulnerable to
deceit and to the designs of those who conspire against
righteousness. Ignorance is not bliss; it is dangerous. - Virginia
U. Jensen, “Creating
Places of Security,” Ensign (CR) November 1997
