In sickness, with its attendant pain, patience is required. If the only perfect man who ever lived-even Jesus of Nazareth-was called upon to endure great suffering, how can we, who are less than perfect, expect to be free of such challenges?

We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become.

Testimony bearing is the key to missionary work

We truly need Him every hour, whether they be hours of sunshine or of rain.

Whether it is the best of times or the worst of times, He is with us. He has promised us that this will never change.

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).

Choose your friends carefully, for you will tend to be like them and be found where they choose to go.
