I am saying that out of a spirit of appreciation and gratitude, and a sense of duty, you ought to make whatever adjustment is necessary to give a little of your time-as little as two years-consecrating your strength, your means, your talents to the work of sharing with others the gospel, which is the source of so much of the good that you have. I promise that if you will do so, you will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.
Gordon B. HinckleyI have now been an officer in this Church for a very long time. I am an old man who cannot deny the calendar. I have lived long enough and served in enough different capacities to have removed from my mind, if such were necessary, any doubt of the divinity of this, the work of God. We respect those of other churches. We desire their friendship and hope to render meaningful service with them. We know they all do good, but we unabashedly stateโand this frequently brings criticism upon usโthat this is the true and living Church of our Father in Heaven and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gordon B. HinckleyWhat a marvelous and wonderful thing is #โ prayer . Think of it. We can actually speak with our Father in #โ Heaven .
