Whether by my own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.

Making a Difference

Where do you stand?

President David O. McKay

“Every person who lives in this world wields an influence, whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone, it is not alone what he does. It is what he is. Every man, every person radiates what he or she is....It is what we are and what we radiate that affects the people around us.”

President David O. McKay, Conference Report, April 1963



Elder Charles Didier
First Quorum of the Seventy

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17)

History is a great teacher if we are willing to learn. It teaches us that anarchy and permissiveness always lead directly to the dictatorship of sin, to the submissiveness of our spirits, to the slavery of our bodies.

Liberty, New Era, Jul 1986, 4



President Ezra Taft Benson

"When the economies of nations fail, when famine and other disasters prevent people from buying food in stores, the Saints must be prepared to handle these emergencies."


The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 264

  4. Thank you SO much for your continued efforts to educate and organize us all. I especially enjoyed the utube video on "Protecting Freedom: A Basic Part of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ of Latter..."

    I had no idea that the prophets had been so adamant on becoming involved in politics and on organizing and educating ourselves to protect our freedom as vouchsafed in the Constitution.

    Again, Thank-you!
