How Many of Us...Are Doing It?

How many of us, learning the will of the Father, are doing it? How many of us day by day are laying a foundation and building a structure that shall conform to the dignity of the stature of our Master?

If You Do It To The Best Of Your Ability, Your Position Is Just As Important As Mine

In his first general conference address as President of the Church, [George Albert Smith] said to the Saints who had just sustained him, “I wonder if anyone else here feels as weak and humble as the man who stands before you.” He expressed similar feelings to members of his family: “I have not wanted this position. I have not felt equal to it. But it has come to me, and I will fill it to the best of my ability. I want you all to know that, whatever you are doing in the church, from [home] teaching to presiding over a stake, if you do it to the best of your ability, your position is just as important as mine.”

God's Plan Is That Every Young Man...Prepare Himself to Serve A Mission

God has a plan for missions—every able young man should serve a mission. Some young men do not want to work that hard or would rather get married, go to college, get a job, or do nothing. But God’s plan is that every young man who is physically and mentally capable prepare himself to serve a mission.

If You Love the Lord, If You Love His Doctrine, You'll...Sing [the Hymns].

If you love the Lord, if you love his doctrine, you’ll love the hymns. And when you love them, you sing them.
