“There is boundless power in the doctrine of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Our unshakeable faith in that doctrine guides our steps and gives us joy.” #PresOaks | #GeneralConference
The last article in this series by the Apostles is by the First Presidency: Amid fear, isolation and sorrow of COVID-19 — the answer to conflict is faith https://t.co/h273surJc0
I’m convinced our Heavenly Parents are merciful, kind, & understanding Beings because when I feel an increase of the Spirit I become more merciful, kinder, and more understanding.
The fear of God may motivate you, but the love of God will change you.
I know Jesus is the Christ. I know He lives. I know He suffered for my sins and was resurrected and gave me a chance to change my behavior. I know He forgot Himself for me; He turned away from His own desires and did exactly what the Father asked Him to do.
There are many ways that we can learn to be more thoughtful, grateful, and spiritual. For many, the COVID-19 pandemic is one of those opportunities. We would be foolish to miss out on this opportunity to search our souls, do a little repenting, and try to be better and kinder.
“The Book of Mormon is not only the keystone of our religion, but it can also become the keystone of our testimonies so that when trials or unanswered questions confront us, it can hold our testimonies securely in place.” #truth https://t.co/oxKQnHJVfu
There is a need to use great care in choosing how you label or think of yourselves. Most important, we must remember that each of us is a child of God with a potential destiny of eternal life. @OaksDallinH
The Savior gave us the scriptures, paid for by prophets at a price we cannot measure, so that we could know Him. Lose yourself in them. Decide now to read more, and more effectively than you have ever done before.
God uses the weak and the plain to bring about His purposes. This truth stands as a testimony that it is God’s power, not man’s, that accomplishes His work on the earth.
Whatever problems you face, I promise there are answers for you in the Book of Mormon.
It’s overflowing with real solutions to all difficulties.
Don’t let it just sit on the shelf untouched. Invest in it, learn its language, & it will pay dividends for the rest of your life.
I would hope that we would walk as he walked—with confidence in the future, with an abiding faith in his Father, and a genuine love for others. @ThomasSMonson
Today I joined with friends and leaders from the @NAACP to publish an op-ed about racial equality. We call on people everywhere to join us in a journey of understanding and overcoming.

We have a prime opportunity to “feast on the words of Christ” while we have a little more quiet time. This is the time to learn to “hear Him” more consistently. I testify that God will support you if you will turn to Him (see Alma 38:5). All are included in this promise.
Because of His profound and eternal love, Jesus Christ suffered and died for you and me. He broke open the gates of death, shattered the barriers that separated friends and loved ones, and brought hope to the hopeless, healing to the sick, and deliverance to the captive.
