"What to do when adversity strikes? There is only one thing to do. Stand steady and see it through. Stay steadfast, constant, and true. The real tragedy in the whirlwinds of life comes only when we allow them to blow us off our true course."
|
| David S. Baxter - Oct. Gen. Conf 2006 |
"The companionship of Christlike friends deeply touches and changes our lives. We should well remember that the Lord often sends 'blessings from above, thru words and deeds of those who love'...Love is the very essence of the gospel of Christ. In this church, prayers for help are often answered by the Lord through the simple, daily service of caring brothers and sisters. In the goodness of genuine friends, I have seen the reflected mercy of the Lord Himself. I have always been humbled by the knowledge that the Savior regards us as His friends when we choose to follow Him and Keep His commandments."

| Joseph B. Wirthlin - General Conference. Oct. 1997 |
"The more we obey God, the more we desire to help others. The more we help others, the more we love God and on and on. Conversely, the more we disobey God and the more selfish we are, the less love we feel."
|
| John H. Groberg - 2004 Oct. Gen. Conf |
"Brothers and sisters, if God loves us enough to send us prophets, then we need to love Him enough to follow them."
|
| Sheldon. F. Child - Oct. Gen. Conf. 2003 |
"Trying to find lasting love without obeying God is like trying to quench thirst by drinking from an empty cup—you can go through the motions, but the thirst remains."
|
| John H. Groberg - 2004 Oct. Gen. Conf |
"Faith is the product of righteous desire, belief, and obedience."
|
| David S. Baxter - Oct. Gen. Conf 2006 |
"Faith is not only a feeling; it is a decision. With prayer, study, obedience, and covenants, we build and fortify our faith. Our conviction of the Savior and His latter-day work becomes the powerful lens through which we judge all else. "
|
| Neil L. Andersen - 2007 April Gen Conf. |
"I know that those who sustained these men [Prophets] with their faith and with their prayers, and with their good works, were blessed of God, not only with an increase of faith and love of God and a testimony of the divinity of the Gospel work in which we are engaged, but they were blessed in their basket, in their store, that their lands were blessed, and that they were blessed with wisdom in their families, to train them in the nurture and admonitions of God."

"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, then God will endow us with power from on high."
|
| Ezra Taft Benson - Ensign, May 1998, p.81 |
"The Savior's parable of the wise man who built his house upon a rock has power precisely because it illustrates that life's challenges befell the wise man too. The rains fell, the winds blew, the floods rose up. Yet he survived it all because he had built upon a sure foundation and, crucially, he stayed there when the storm came."

| David S. Baxter - Oct. Gen. Conf 2006 |
"The devil is ready to blind our eyes with the things of this world, and he would gladly rob us of eternal life, the greatest of all gifts. But it is not given to the devil, and no power will ever be given to him to overthrow any Latter-day Saint that is keeping the commandments of God. There is no power given to the adversary of men’s souls to destroy us if we are doing our duty. If we are not absolutely honest with God, then we let the bars down, then we have destroyed part of the fortifications by which we are protected, and the devil may come in. But no man has ever lost the testimony of the Gospel, no man has ever turned to the right or to the left, who had the knowledge of the truth, who was attending to his duties, who was keeping the Word of Wisdom, who was paying his tithing, who was responding to the calls and duties of his office and calling in the Church."

| Heber J. Grant - Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Heber J Grant |
"I promise you, as a servant of the living God, that every man and woman who obeys the commandments of God shall prosper, that every promise made of God shall be fulfilled upon their heads, and that they will grow and increase in wisdom, light, knowledge, intelligence, and, above all, in the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ."

"No obstacles are insurmountable when God commands and we obey"
|

"There is no danger of any man or woman losing his or her faith in this Church if he or she is humble and prayerful and obedient to duty."
|
| Heber J. Grant - Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Heber J Grant |
"When you are in the line of your duty it is like standing in front of a line of posts, and every post is in line. But step one step aside, and every post looks as though it were not quite in line. The farther you get away from that straight line, the more crooked the posts will appear. It is the straight and narrow path of duty that will lead you and me back to the presence of God."
|
| Heber J. Grant - Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Heber J Grant |
"I know of nothing that I feel is of so great value in life as to be obedient to the counsel and advice of the Lord, and of His servants in this our day."
|
| Heber J. Grant - teaachings of the Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant |
"You will always be blessed and benefitted in following the advice and counsel of those whom God has chosen to preside over the Church. By honoring the man God has chosen, God will honor and bless you."

"The greatest lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and we obey, we will always be right."
|
| Thomas S. Monson - Oct. Gen. Conf. 2002 |
"No obstacles are insurmountable when God commands and we obey"
|
| Heber J. Grant - Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Heber J Grant |
"Obedience - That which God will never take by force - He will accept freely given. And He will then return to you freedom that you can hardly dream of - the freedom To feel and to know, the freedom to do, and the freedom to be at least a thousandfold more than we offer Him. Strangely enough the key to freedom is obedience."
|
| Boyd K. Packer - quotes website |
"The temporal and spiritual blessings of tithing are specifically tailored to us and our families, according to the Lord's will, but to receive them, we must obey the law upon which they are predicated."
|
| Robert D. Hales - Oct. Gen. Conf. 2002 |
"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment, God will endow us with power."

I think I am,
the man I want to be?
More importantly, am I the man
the Saviour needs me to be?"
