The Spoken Word
Passages drawn from the sermons and published works that carry this theme forward.
1909·Reed Smoot·Apostle
May God give us strength and a determination to make every home in Zion a perfect home and, above all, a prayerful home, a godlike home, an industrious home, a contented home, a hospitable home, and a home of order, I ask, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
1942·Harold B. Lee·Apostle
May we return home and teach our people the way of peace — peace because they are willing to live the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ, I humbly pray, in His name. Amen.
1951·Delbert L. Stapley·Apostle
Many of them were fasting and praying that their folk at home, inactive, would become active in the Church. It seems to me you who are leaders would do well to fast and pray for the Holy Ghost to guide you in the selection of officers and teachers for Church positions. Let the Lord give unto you by his Holy Spirit the men and women whom he has chosen.
1967·Marion G. Romney·Apostle
Earlier in the conference, President McKay, as you will recall, stirred our souls with his profound message concerning our young people, and it caused me to do a great deal of thinking, some soul-searching in my own life; and as I went home last Thursday with his thoughts on my mind I reread a letter that had appeared in the Deseret News just a few nights before. I thought it was significant, as it applies
1970·N. Eldon Tanner·Apostle
Another commandment that is so important in the lives of all of us is the Lord's law of health, which is called the Word of Wisdom, and which should be taught in every home by example and by precept. In this Word of Wisdom we are warned against the use of tobacco and alcohol and other things that are harmful to the body. I am sure we can include the use of drugs.
1979·Marion G. Romney·Apostle
I can think of no blessings to be more fervently desired than those promised to the pure and the virtuous. Jesus spoke of specific rewards for different virtues but reserved the greatest, so it seems to me, for the pure in heart, “for they,” said he, “shall see God” ( Matt. 5:8 ). And not only shall they see the Lord, but they shall feel at home in his presence.
