Is there any conflict between science and religion? There is no conflict in the mind of God, but often there is conflict in the minds of men.

Our feelings of separation from God will diminish as we become more childlike before Him. That is not easy in a world where the opinions of other human beings can have such an effect on our motives. But it will help us recognize this truth: God is close to us and aware of us and never hides from His faithful children.

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.

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.
