“It is my judgment that any man or woman can do more to conform to the laws of God in one year in this life than they could do in ten years when they are dead. The spirit can only repent and change, and then the battle has to go forward with the flesh afterwards. It is much easier to overcome and serve the Lord when both flesh and spirit are combined as one. This is the time when men are more pliable and susceptible. We will find when we are dead every desire, every feeling will be greatly intensified. When clay is pliable it is much easier to change than when it gets hard and sets.” MenYearsHardFeelingsLawSpiritDesireCan DoLordEasierBattleTenJudgmentOvercomingFleshThis LifeConformRepentClaySusceptible Author:Melvin J.

“The greatest mission of woman is to give life, earth-life, through honorable marriage, to the waiting spirits, our Father's spirit children who anxiously desire to come to dwell here in this mortal state. All the honor and glory that can come to men and women is but a dim thing whose luster shall fade in comparison to the high honor, the eternal glory, the ever-enduring happiness that shall come to the woman who fulfils the first great duty and mission that devolves upon her to become the mother of the sons and daughters of God” MenGivingFirstsChildrenStatesEarthSpiritMotherDesireFatherWaitingSonDutyHonorEternalGloryDaughterMen And WomenEndureMissionsMortalsComparisonFadesHonorableOur FatherSon And DaughterLusterDaughter Of GodEarth Life Author:Melvin J.
