I suppose it goes without saying that negative speaking so often flows from negative thinking about ourselves. We see our own faults, we speak--or at least think--critically of ourselves, and before long that is how we see everyone and everything. No sunshine, no roses, no promise of hope or happiness. Before long we and everybody around us are miserable.

Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all.

Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet

Just believing, just having a molecule of faith--that simple step, when focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, has ever been and always will be not only the first principle of His Eternal Gospel but also the first step out of despair.

I testify that bad days come to an end, that faith always triumphs, and that heavenly promises are always kept.

Dads, is it too bold to hope that our children might have some small portion of the feeling for us that the Divine Son felt for His Father?

Don't give up when the pressure mounts. Face your doubts. Master you fears.
