“Just as in a physical body the operation of one member contributes to the good of the whole body, so it is in a spiritual body such as the Church. And since all the faithful are one body, the good of one member is communicated to another; everyone members, as the Apostle says, of one another [Eph 4:25]. For that reason, among the points of faith handed down by the Apostles, is that there is a community of goods in the Church, and this is expressed in the words Communion of Saints.” ReasonWholeBodySpiritualCommunityChurchMembersSaintFaithfulOperationsGoodsCommunionApostlesPhysical Body Author:Thomas Aquinas
“That one woman is both mother and virgin, not in spirit only but even in body. In spirit she is mother, not of our head, who is our Savior himself-of whom all, even she herself, are rightly called children of the bridegroom-but plainly she is the mother of us who are his members, because by love she has cooperated so that the faithful, who are the members of that head, might be born in the Church. In body, indeed, she is the Mother of that very head.” ChildrenBodyMightSpiritMotherBornChurchReligiousMembersFaithfulSaviorVirginsOne WomanVirgin MaryBlessed MotherImmaculateBridegroom Author:Saint Augustine

“President J. Reuben Clark, Jr., a modern prophet, said over and over again that the Lord would never let one of his Saints who had been faithful in the payment of tithes and offerings go without the necessities of life” (Marion G. Romney, “The Blessings of an Honest Tithe,” New Era, Jan.-Feb. 1982, 45). Members who faithfully pay tithing are promised spiritual blessings as well. “I think it is not well known in the Church that payment of tithing has very little to do with money. Tithing has to do with faith” ThinkingWellsLittlesSaidSpiritualPresidentChurchPayKnownLordModernHonestBlessingMembersSaintErasFaithfulProphetOfferingWell KnownPaymentRomneyNew EraTitheTithingSpiritual BlessingsNot Well Known Author:A.

“I feel like I'm not living a life different than anyone else. You know, I live in a house with 5 kids and a wife, but I also travel on the road with a band of brothers, just doing life. I am a member of a church, but it's almost like it's a little church on our bus. It's about trying to pursue God and stay faithful to Him in this crazy world.” KnowsWorldFeelsTryingLittlesDifferentKidsHouseChurchWifeCrazyBrotherBandMembersPursueFaithfulBusCrazy WorldThis Crazy World Author:TobyMac
