Patience, faith, conforming our lives to truth, the keeping of the commandments, trust in the eternal future—the assurance that the most meaningful things in life are everlasting, and a patient search and seizing upon what the soul and the spirit with its imprint upon the soul tells us to be truth—these are required of us. […]
We just hope that when man finally does arrive on the moon, he will not create the sorry state of affairs there that presently trouble the earth. But whether here or on the moon, our most serious question will always be, “What about the man?” What about his honor, what about his faith, what about […]
Thomas was not willing to stand on faith. He wanted positive evidence of the facts. He wanted knowledge, not faith. Knowledge is related to the past because our experiences of the past are those things which give us knowledge but faith is related to the future-to the unknown where we have not yet walked. We […]
God help us to arise to a point where we can retain faith in the future, whatever it may hold. We need most of all, when suffering, to remember there is an explanation, though we may not know exactly what it is. – Hugh B. Brown, “Conference Report,” October 1969, Third Day-Morning Meeting, p. 107
When your faith, your family, or your future are challenged—when you wonder why life is so hard when you are doing your best to live the gospel—remember that the Lord told us to expect troubles. Troubles are part of the plan and do not mean you’ve been abandoned; they are part of what it means […]

So it would seem that works must accompany this mighty principle of faith. What works are there which are related to it and essential to salvation? One of them is repentance. It is said that without faith it is impossible to please God, and I think we may say also that without repentance it would […]
So the question arises: How can we develop faith? May I say, my brethren and sisters, that there is one means, I think, that is all too generally neglected in the Church, and that is prayer in the home. I speak from my own experience, largely, and observation, when I make that remark, because if […]
This is an age of pessimism. Ours is a mission of faith. To my brethren and sisters everywhere, I call upon you to reaffirm your faith, to move this work forward across the world. You can make it stronger by the manner in which you live. Let the gospel be your sword and your shield. […]
A man of faith makes decisions every day because of that faith; he knows where he is going; he rejects the unproven sophistries of the world; he can withstand the infidelity, the cynicism, the ridicule, and the groundless arguments of those who live without responsibility to God and without a program to guide them through […]
