“This Church is true. It will weather every storm that beats against it. It will outlast every critic who rises to mock it. It was established by God our Eternal Father for the blessing of His sons and daughters of all generations. It carries the name of Him who stands as its head, even the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. It is governed and moves by the power of the priesthood. It sends forth to the world another witness of the divinity of the Lord. Be faithful, my friends. Be true. Be loyal to the great things of God which have been revealed in this dispensation.” WorldHas BeensMovingFatherJesusNamesChristChurchLordGenerationsSonBlessingEternalBeatsDaughterMy FriendsJesus ChristCriticsStormGreat ThingsWeatherBeing TrueWitnessFaithfulDivinityCarrieSaviorLoyalMockPriesthoodLord Jesus ChristBeing FaithfulSon And Daughter Author:Gordon B.

“But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun.; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic monotony that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never gotten tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” MayEnoughFatherStrongMorningSunMoonEternalTiredEveningAppetiteEvery MorningStrong EnoughOur FatherOrthodoxyInfancyDaisiesMonotony Author:Gilbert K.

“To be "in Christ" is to place one's trust in Him for salvation from sin. To be "in Christ" is to trust His goodness, not our own; to trust that His sacrificial death on the cross paid the complete debt of death we owe for our sin; to trust that His resurrection gives us eternal life instead of relying upon our own ability to please God. To be "in Christ" is to claim, by faith, the free gift of salvation. To be "in Christ" is to enjoy a completely restored relationship with our Father in heaven by virtue of His Son's righteous standing.” GivingFatherHeavenEnjoyChristSinAbilityVirtueSonPleaseGoodnessEternalStandingCrossesClaimsPaidSalvationDebtResurrectionRighteousOur FatherEternal LifeFather In HeavenFree Gifts Author:Charles R.

“We must understand that God does not "love" us without liking us - through gritted teeth - as "Christian" love is sometimes thought to do. Rather, out of the eternal freshness of his perpetually self-renewed being, the heavenly Father cherishes the earth and each human being upon it. The fondness, the endearment, the unstintingly affectionate regard of God toward all his creatures is the natural outflow of what he is to the core - which we vainly try to capture with our tired but indispensable old word "love".” TryingHumansDoeSelfSometimesEarthChristianFatherNaturalHuman BeingsLove IsCreaturesEternalRegardTiredCoreTeethHeavenlyCherishCaptureIndispensableHeavenly FatherFreshnessAffectionateFondnessChristian LoveWords LoveEndearment Author:Dallas Willard

“Baptism into this Church is a serious thing. It represents a covenant made with our Heavenly Father. It is much more than a right of passage. It is a gateway to a new manner of living, and a new road on which to walk that leads to immortality and eternal life. It was never intended as a dead end. It was intended to open a glorious and wonderful way of life to all who would walk in obedience to the commandments of God.” WayMadeEndsFatherChurchWalksWonderfulSeriousEternalObedienceImmortalityGloriousHeavenlyPassagesCommandmentsEternal LifeCovenantHeavenly FatherBaptismGatewaysDead EndsSerious ThingsNew RoadsCommandments Of God Author:Gordon B.

“Though we cannot understand "the meaning of all things," we do "know that God loveth his children" because He has said, "Behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." Heavenly Father is able to accomplish these two great goals-the immortality and eternal life of man-because He is a God of creation and compassion. Creating and being compassionate are two objectives that contribute to our Heavenly Father's perfect happiness.
