Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. . . . Peace comes through hope.

Faith is the power, obedience is the price, love is the motive, the Spirit is the key and Christ is the reason.

Adversity is the refiner's fire that bends iron but tempers steel.

Noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven.

Integrity is the light that shines from a disciplined conscience.

Leaders receive and give assignments. This is an important part of the necessary principle of delegating. No one appreciates a willing volunteer more than I, but the total work cannot be done as the Lord wants it done merely by those doing the work who may be present at meetings.

If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.
