A boy discovers one way he hears the voice of the Lord. We may not have this happen, but we can all discover how we hear the voice of the Lord, or the voice of the spirit. https://t.co/7Ho5xiAA1E
Faith is hard to sustain. But it is worth every effort, even when you don't feel like it. It will refine your character, and help you through the hard times.
True faith is focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ and is a principle of action, trust, and power.
As we act in accordance with the truths of the Savior’s gospel and trust in His promises, we are blessed with the spiritual capacity to “rise up” and press forward through the challenges of mortality while experiencing the joys His gospel makes possible in our lives.
In recognition of the 250-year anniversary of the founding of the United States of America as a free and independent nation, Elder Quentin L. Cook and I discussed the importance of religious liberty and its underlying significance for the restored Church of Jesus Christ.
We believe in religious liberty.
As the Eleventh Article of Faith reminds us, “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.”

Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity. Enduring to the end is not merely a relentless determination to grit our teeth, hold on to the limits of our physical strength and mental capacity, and push through the challenges and adversities of mortal life; it is so much more than that.
Enduring to the end is the joyous quest of a lifetime—a pressing forward with faith in Jesus Christ in a gradual process of trusting in and receiving help from our Savior to become more like Him. As our love for Him grows ever stronger and deeper, we can be blessed to receive spiritual perspective, the Lord’s empowering grace, and exceedingly great and indescribable joy.
Surrounded by majestic mountains and serene lakes, Salzburg, Austria has a quiet beauty that has long touched our hearts. Harriet and I felt a deep sense of gratitude as we returned to this remarkable place—a place filled with sacred memories.
I was serving in the Europe West Area Presidency when Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles—who had once served as a young missionary in Salzburg in 1937—organized the Salzburg Austria Stake in 1997.
Now, nearly 30 years after that special occasion, I was blessed to dedicate the beautifully renovated Salzburg Stake Center. Moments like these remind us that the Lord is mindful of His children, wherever they may be.
We express heartfelt gratitude for the faithful members who are building up The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this land. Much of what has been accomplished is the result of quiet devotion—of disciples, both seen and unseen, who follow the Savior with humble, steadfast faith.
I pray that this chapel will always be a house of peace—where Jesus Christ is at the center, where His love is felt, and where all are joyfully invited to come unto Him.
The purpose of making covenants is to draw us closer to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. We are beloved sons and daughters of God, and He desires that we experience joy in this life. Our covenants can serve as constant reminders of these sacred truths.
