“If prayer is only a spasmodic cry at the time of crisis, then it is utterly selfish, and we come to think of God as a repairman or a service agency to help us only in our emergencies. We should remember the Most High day and night-always-not only at times when all other assistance has failed and we desperately need help.” IfsThinkingNeedsShouldHelpingRememberNightPrayerCryCrisisSelfishAgencyAssistanceEmergenciesDay And NightNeed HelpTimes Of Crisis Author:Howard W.

“Humility is an attribute of godliness possessed by true Saints. It is easy to understand why a proud man fails. He is content to rely upon himself only. This is evident in those who seek social position or who push others aside to gain position in fields of business, government, education, sports, or other endeavors. Our genuine concern should be for the success of others. The proud man shuts himself off from God, and when he does he no longer lives in the light.” MenShouldDoeLightGovernmentSocialEasySportsFailingFieldsPositionHumilityProudGainsConcernSaintGenuineRelyEndeavorAttributesPossessedEvidentGodlinessRely UponProud ManSuccess Of OthersLonger LifeGenuine ConcernGovernment Education Book:That We Might Have Joy Source: That We Might Have Joy

“Every day of our lives and in every season of the year (not just at Easter time), Jesus asks each of us, as he did following his triumphant entry into Jerusalem those many years ago, ‘What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?’ (Matt. 22:42.) We declare that he is the Son of God, and the reality of that fact should stir our souls more frequently. I pray that it will, this Easter season and always.” ThinkingShouldYearsSoulFactsRealityAsksJesusChristOur LivesSonPrayingYears AgoSeasonsFollowingEasterI PrayEntryJerusalemTriumphantEaster SeasonEaster Time Book:That We Might Have Joy Source: That We Might Have Joy

“Let us truly be a temple-attending and temple-loving people...We should not go only for our kindred dead, but also for the personal blessings of temple worship, for the sanctity and the safety that are within those hallowed and consecrated walls. As we attend the temple, we learn more richly and deeply the purpose of life and the significance of the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us make the temple, together with temple worship and temple covenants and temple marriage, our ultimate earthly goal and the supreme mortal experience.” PeopleShouldTogetherPurposeJesusGoalChristLordSacrificeWallBlessingWorshipJesus ChristUltimateSafetySupremeMortalsTemplesSignificancePurpose Of LifeCovenantSanctityAttendingLord Jesus ChristKindredTemple Marriage Author:Howard W.

“There is good reason to make our decision now to serve the Lord. On this Sunday morning, when the complications and temptations of life are somewhat removed, and when we have the time and more of an inclination to take an eternal perspective, we can more clearly evaluate what will bring us the greatest happiness in life. We should decide now, in the light of the morning, how we will act when the darkness of night and when the storms of temptation arrive.” ShouldReasonLightNightChoicesDecisionLordMorningDarknessPerspectiveEternalStormTemptationSundayInclinationEvaluateLife HappinessComplicationSunday MorningDarkness Of Night Author:Howard W.
