We need to believe in angels and miracles and the promises of the holy priesthood. We need to believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost, the influence of good families and friends, and the power of the pure love of Christ. We need to believe in revelation and prophets, seers, and revelators and President Russell M. Nelson. We need to believe that with prayer and pleading and personal righteousness, we really can ascend to “Mount Zion, … the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.”

Find an Opportunity
My beloved sisters and brothers, since that experience, I have tried to take up my cross more earnestly, with more resolve to find where I can raise an apostolic voice of both warmth and warning in the morning, during the day, and into the night.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Motions of a Hidden Fire
Brothers and sisters, as we repent of our sins and come boldly to the “throne of grace,” leaving before Him there our alms and our heartfelt supplications, we will find mercy and compassion and forgiveness at the benevolent hands of our Eternal Father and His obedient, perfectly pure Son. – Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
Virtue Signaling, Really?
I was taken aback today when I read a statement by a friend who was highly critical of the talk given by Elder Holland today. It irritated me so I wanted to talk about it briefly… but not directly to him.

I remember when Jeffrey R Holland was called as an Apostle. There was something that didn’t sit right with me. There was some seed of distrust (a wedge) in my heart with regard to him. For many years, I would hear his messages and I would believe him, but not 100% trust him because this wedge in my heart persisted.
