The good word of the Lord with which we must nourish is the simple doctrine of the gospel. We need not fear either simplicity or repetition.

I have learned over the years that the strength in a quorum doesn't come from the number of priesthood holders in it. Nor does it come automatically from the age and maturity of the members. Rather, the strength of a quorum comes in large measure from how completely its members are united in righteousness. That unity in a strong quorum of the priesthood is not like anything I have experienced in an athletic team or club or any other organization in the world.

Your calling is to bless lives. . . . Just the way you smile or the way you offer to help someone can build their faith.

The message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is that we can and must expect to become better as long as we live.

Many of you have loved ones who are wandering off the path to eternal life. You wonder what more you can do to bring them back. You can depend on the Lord to draw closer to them as you serve Him in faith.

Ask yourself, 'How did God bless me today?' If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings.

The Lord makes his servants bold.
