The work is demanding, the impact everlasting. This is no time for 'summer soldiers' in the army of the Lord.

The goal of gospel teaching... is not to 'pour information' into the minds of class members... The aim is to inspire the individual to think about, feel about, and then do something about living gospel principles.

How you speak and the words you use tell much about the image you choose to portray. Use language to build and uplift those around you. Profane, vulgar, or crude language and inappropriate or off-color jokes are offensive to the Lord. Never misuse the name of God or Jesus Christ. The Lord said, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" (Ex. 20:7).

It is not enough to want to make the effort... it's in the doing, not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals.

Prayer is the passport to peace.

No one can make us angry. It is our choice.

Find someone who is having a hard time or is ill or lonely, and do something for him or her.
