The blessings of the priesthood are infinitely greater than the one who is asked to administer the gift.

We can work, study, laugh and have fun, dance, sing, and enjoy many different experiences. These are a wonderful part of life, but they are not central to why we are here. The opportunity to choose good over evil is precisely why we are here. Not one of us would say, "I want to choose evil." We all want to choose the right. However, the choice of good over evil is not always easy, because evil frequently lurks behind smiling eyes.

Your faith will not grow by chance, but by choice.

The Lord will make much more out of your life than you can by yourself.

With all the blessings our modern age has given to us, let us not give up the things that promote the workings of the Holy Ghost.

Repentance is powerful spiritual medicine. There are few spiritual ills it will not cure. Each sin we leave behind through our faith in the living Christ-both those of commission and those of omission-opens spiritual doors. As we feel the potency of repentance, we better understand why Christ admonished the early missionaries of this dispensation to "say nothing but repentance unto this generation."

In his own time and in his own way, the Lord will bring about his miracles.
