I have watched my senior Brethren move around the circle and then graduate to the other side of the veil—so many great ones. President Harold B. Lee told me that I should associate with the older Brethren and learn from their experiences. I followed that counsel. From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our live...
I have asked young missionaries, “Do you know what the word father means?” They say, of course, they do know. I respect their answer, but deep down I think, “You know so very little.” They do know what the word fathermeans, but their knowledge is immature. To you who are married and have a child, the word father takes on a new meaning; the word fat...
There is a puzzle in the scriptures about justice and mercy. These are two seemingly conflicting principles which I addressed on another occasion by teaching somewhat of a parable.5Listen carefully. There once was a man who wanted something very much. It seemed more important than anything else in his life. In order for him to have his desire, he i...
We all live on spiritual credit. In one way or another, the account builds and builds. If you pay it off as you go, you have little need to worry. Soon you begin to learn discipline and know that there is a day of reckoning ahead.

As mortals, we may not, indeed cannot, understand fully how He fulfilled His atoning sacrifice. But for now the how is not as important as the why of His suffering. Why did He do it for you, for me, for all of humanity? He did it for the love of God the Father and all mankind. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for hi...

There are those who stand ready to guide you back to peace and security. Even the grace of God, as promised in the scriptures, comes “after all we can do.”22The p...
The scripture “learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God”27 is an invitation attended by the promise of peace and protection from the adversary. “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”28 Do not expect that ...
“Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.” 2 “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.” 3 “I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” 4
The angels of the devil convince some that they are born to a life from which they cannot escape and are compelled to live in sin. The most wicked of lies is that they cannot change and repent and that they will not be forgiven. That cannot be true. They have forgotten the Atonement of Christ.
