Presidency Message: “Stand for truth and righteousness. Sustain the priesthood as the authority of God on earth. ”
Teacher: Lynn Hansen
God has given us the power of truth.
President Gordon B. Hinckley— “It’s refreshing, always to find people who stand up for standards and values that are tested and have been proved in the fires of history – such things as family solidarity, family loyalty, the importance of making something of one’s life, and serving society to improve the world of which we are a part.”
Mary Ellen Smoot—“We see sisters in this great Church who recognize the blessings of the restored priesthood. We rejoice as each baby is blessed, each child is baptized, as we partake of the sacrament and are set apart for church callings and watch our husbands give fathers’ blessings. We are grateful for priesthood blessings that light our way and give us direction and hope. We rejoice in and support worthy priesthood holders.”
Elder Robert D. Hales—“If the power of the priesthood were not upon the earth, the adversary would have freedom to roam and reign without restraint. There would be no gift of the Holy Ghost to direct and enlighten us; no prophets to speak in the name of the Lord; no temples where we could make sacred, eternal covenants; no authority to bless or baptize, to heal or comfort. Without the power of the priesthood, ‘the whole earth would be utterly wasted’ (D&C 2:1-3). There would be no light, no hope – only darkness.”
