Knowing our feelings for our own loved ones, for our own children, we can take confidence in the merry and love and understanding and in the helpfulness of our Father in heaven, who will not leave the humblest child or the most lonely among us, alone in life. – Richard L. Evans, Conference Report, October […]
And what a message the Church has for this distracted world! “Its appeal.” as Kent says of true Christianity, “is universal—to the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the learned and the unlearned. It proclaims God to be not only the one Supreme Ruler of the Universe, but the Father of each […]
I thank the Lord that the rewards for faithfulness in the Church are not all postponed until after the resurrection. I thank the Lord that while we live in hope and faith, and in a knowledge of the glory and blessings that await us in the future, yet the Lord rewards us every day of […]
The testimony that God lives is a gift to us; it comes to us when we are worthy of it. He blesses us when we strive for that blessing and reach out and try to get it. He is indeed our Father in heaven, to whom we can go and from whom we can ask […]

If your problems be too great for human intelligence or too much for human strength, you too, if you are faithful […]
There is much more of scripture that affirms the oneness of purpose of the Father and of His beloved Son—and that also affirms their separateness of person as a literal, physical fact. And as Jesus approached Him, so also we approach the Father, in all our needs. In every problem, in sorrow and success, in […]
Another matter: How completely do you love your neighbor? The Savior has said that not only should we love our neighbors as ourselves, but that we should also even love our enemies.
