Mothers, train up your children in righteousness; do not attempt to save the world and let your own family fall apart.
Ezra Taft BensonAre you honest with the Lord in the payment of your tithes? Living this divine law will bring both spiritual and material blessings.
Ezra Taft BensonOur bishops storehouses are not intended to stock enough commodities to care for all the members of the Church. Storehouses are only established to care for the poor and the needy. For this reason, members of the Church have been instructed to personally store a year's supply of food, clothing, and, where possible, fuel. By following this counsel, most members will be prepared and able to care for themselves and their family members, and be able to share with others as may be needed.

Ezra Taft BensonWoman was given to man as an helpmeet. That complementary association is ideally portrayed in the eternal marriage of our first parentsโAdam and Eve. They labored together; they had children together; they prayed together; and they taught their children the gospel together. This is the pattern God would have all righteous men and women imitate.
