Beware of those who would pit the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence.

As members of the Lord's Church, we must take missionary work more seriously. The Lord's commission to 'preach the gospel to every creature' (Mark 16:15) will never change in our dispensation. We have been greatly blessed with the material means, the technology, and an inspired message to bring the gospel to all men. More is expected of us than any previous generation. Where 'much is given much is required.' (D&C 82:3.)

Retirement from work has depressed many a man and hastened his death.

The proud wish God would agree with them. They are not interested in changing their opinions to agree with God's.

Christ wants to lift us to where He is. Do we desire to do the same for others?

When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.

The Lord is letting the wheat and the tares mature before he fully purges the Church. He is also testing you to see if you will be misled. The devil is trying to deceive the very elect.
