Our journey of discipleship is not a dash around the track, nor is it fully comparable to a lengthy marathon. In truth, it is a lifelong migration toward a more celestial world.

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.

Our conversion comes step by step, line upon line. We first build a foundation of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

But our trials need not be spiritually fatal. They need not take us from our covenants or from the household of God.

The Prophet Joseph Smith warned us to ‘beware of self-righteousness’ and to enlarge our hearts toward all men and women until we feel ‘to take them upon our shoulders.

With faith come trials of faith, bringing increased faith.

Families are the treasure of heaven.
