Getting Our Bearings Straight – Cook

I think the challenge for all of us—but perhaps particularly for young adults—is to try not to look sideways to see how others are viewing our lives but to look up to see how Heavenly Father sees us. He doesn’t look on the outward appearance but on the heart (see 1 Samuel 16:7). And He knows, [...]

We Are All Enlisted

Number one, Satan, or Lucifer, or the father of lies—call him what you will—is real, the very personification of evil. His motives are in every case malicious, and he convulses at the appearance of redeeming light, at the very thought of truth. Number two, he is eternally opposed to the love of God, the Atonement of Jesus [...]

Doing Loftier Things

All through the scriptures the loftier expectation is expressed by the Lord and His apostles: Believe, repent, obey the ordinances, walk in the light of the Spirit, endure in faith—yes!

The Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has declared his great purpose and plan for his children: “For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” (Moses 1:39.) Without this period of life on earth, we can achieve neither immortality nor eternal life. - Derek A. Cuthbert, [...]

Live up to the Divinity Within Us (Hinckley)

“My great plea is that we all try a little harder to live up to the stature of divinity that is within us.  We can do better than we are doing.  We can be better than we are.  If we would hold before us that image constantly of divine inheritance, of the Fatherhood of God [...]
