Now, my brethren and sisters, the time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow. It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain. It is a time to be considerate and good, decent and courteous toward one another in all of our relationships. In other words, to become more Christ-like.

Your continued spiritual growth and eternal progress are very much wrapped up in your relationships – in how you treat others. Do you indeed love others and become a blessing in their lives? Isn’t the measure of the level of your conversion how you treat others? The person who does only things in the church that concern himself alone will never reach the goal of perfection.

One way you can measure your value in the Kingdom of God is to ask, ‘How well am I doing in helping others reach their potential? Do I support others in the church, or do I criticize them?
If you are criticizing others, you are weakening the church. If you are building others, you are building the kingdom of God.Speaker: James E. FaustPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 12:06 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
The church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thoughts, or have perfect feelings. The church is a place where imperfect people gather to provide encouragement, support, and service to each other as we press on in our journey to our Heavenly Father.

Brothers and sisters, I believe that if we could truly understand the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we would realize how precious is one son or daughter of God. I believe our Heavenly Father’s everlasting purpose for His children Is generally achieved by the small and simple things we do for one another. At the heart of the English word ‘atonement’ is the word ‘one.’
If all mankind understood this, there would never be anyone with whom we would not be concerned, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or social or economic standing. We would strive to emulate the Savior and would never be unkind, indifferent, disrespectful, or insensitive to others.Speaker: M. Russell BallardPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:44 AMComments: None...

I sought my God, and my God I could not see;
I sought my soul and my soul eluded me;
I sought to serve my brother in his need and found all three:
My God, my soul, and thee.Speaker: AnonymousSource: Divine Center, thePosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:03 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives, but nothing gives;
Whom none can love, whom none can thank,
Creation’s blot, creation’s blank.Speaker: Thomas GibbonsSource: Divine Center, thePosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:03 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
Ozymandias
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive (stamped on those lifeless things),
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.Speaker: Percy Bysshe ShelleySource: Divine Center, thePosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 8:58 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
We feel neither the pulse of God nor the pulse of His children unless we feel both. We can’t serve God and ignore or mistreat His children. Neither can we serve His children and ignore our common Father.

In the narrow sense, activity in the Church is an occasional thing – basically meaning attending meetings and living certain well-defined and minimal laws such as tithing and the Word of Wisdom…It’s fairly easy to attend church meetings and yet be mentally and emotionally elsewhere. As they run from meeting to meeting or interview to interview, such Mormons are often characterized as poor Christians, bad neighbors, and insensitive to pressing human needs.

Too many vacations, vacations lasting too long, too many movies, too much TV, too much video-game playing, too much undisciplined leisure time in which a person continually takes the course of least resistance – this kind of thing gradually wastes a life, wastes a family. It ensures that one’s capacities stay dormant, God-given talents remain undeveloped, the mind and spirit become lethargic, and the heart is unfulfilled. Such a life gives no service, makes no contribution, enjoys no larger vision, and short of repentance and change, it slips down to spiritual decay and death.
