The central activity of leadership is teaching - first by example, second by precept.

We can all be more consistently involved in missionary work by replacing our fear with real faith.

We are not asking everyone to do everything. We are simply asking all members to pray, knowing that if every member, young and old, will reach out to just “one” between now and Christmas, millions will feel the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what a wonderful gift to the Savior.

The love for work needs to be re-enthroned in our lives. Every family should have a plan for work that touches the life of each family member so that this eternal principle will be ingrained in their lives.

Sometimes we go so focused on bringing people to the meetinghouse that we forget we are supposed to be bringing them to Christ.

Small events and choices determine the direction of our lives just as small helms determine the directions of great ships.

We must be prepared to keep pace with our leaders, stride for their every lengthened stride.
