What a wonderful blessing to live in a time of continual revelation from God! As we look forward to and embrace the “restitution of all things,”1 which has and will come through the prophesied events of our time, we are being prepared for the Savior’s Second Coming.2 – Jean B. Bingham, “Ministering as the Savior Does,” […]
We must never ignore or pass by the prompting of the Spirit to render service to one another. – M. Russell Ballard, “Small and Simple Things,” Ensign (CR) May 1990
If you would find yourself, learn to deny yourself for the blessing of others. Forget yourself and find someone who needs your service, and you will discover the secret to the happy, fulfilled life. – Ezra Taft Benson, “This Is a Day of Sacrifice,” Ensign (CR) May 1979

I invite you to be intentional about “looking down the road” and increase your focus on those things that really matter. May we keep Christ at the center of our focus. In the midst of all the distractions, the things “in front of the hood,” and the whirlwinds that surround us, I testify that Jesus […]

We need to be involved in moving the Lord’s work forward. – H. David Burton, “A Season of Opportunity,” Ensign (CR) November 1998

Russell Ballard, “Faith in Every Footstep,” Ensign (CR) November 1996
