Because It's True, Isn't It?

Wherefore, I the Lord ask you this question—unto what were ye ordained?

 To preach my gospel by the Spirit, even the Comforter which was sent forth to teach the truth. D&C 50:13-14

Be Happy

"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing." --C. S. Lewis

 

 

 

 

"Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness."

--Alma 41:10

 

Setting Sail

"The winds of God are always blowing, but we must set the sails."

-- Author Unknown

"Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day." alma 37:37

Christlike

"Begin to be now what you will be hereafter."  William James

"And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?

Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal body raised in immortality, and this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which have been done in the mortal body?

I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?

Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins?" -- Alma 5:14-16,27

He is the Way

"We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." -- Aristotle

 

 "what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am." -- 3nephi27:27

Become Legendary

Not easy, but worth it. BECOME LEGENDARY.

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall ENDURE TO THE END, the same shall be saved." -- Matthew 24:9-13

 

The Power of Prayer

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" 
 -- Abraham Lincoln

"Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers." -- D&C 112:10
