“Joseph’s vision of the Father and the Son opened this dispensation. Then came the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ with the same organization that existed in the primitive Church, built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets.”

Your biggest opponent isn’t the other guy. It’s human nature.

Truth for us is simply a collective name for verification processes

The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than hears.

Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering.

We will never forget the passengers of Flight 93, who courageously confronted the terrorists, defeating another planned attack on America. They are the heroes for our times.

Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.

I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them.

Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from inside. We hold that key within our hands, and agency is ours to use it.

Take hold of your life and order yourself to be valiant.

All religions begin with the cry Help.

If I don’t understand it, it must be art.

Progression: you can start from where you are.

Now it’s a fully realized production but for the fact that we’re holding our scripts in our hand and some of us used them, and some of us didn’t and you have to by union rules hold the script. You don’t have to use them but you gotta hold them.

But look what the Church has done to Jesus during the last two thousand years. What they have made of Him. How they have turned every word He spoke for their own vile ends. Jesus would be framed and in jail if he was living today.

Many people do not know that Jesus did not speak Latin or English or Hebrew; he spoke Aramaic. But nobody knows that language.

Jesus would be framed and in jail if he was living today.

God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.

God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.

I can’t understand God by feelings. I can’t understand the Lord Jesus Christ by feelings. I can only understand God the Father and Jesus Christ by what the Word says about them. God is everything the Word says He is. We need to get acquainted with Him through the Word.
