Quote to Inspire

I love this quote from the January Visiting Teaching message:

Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:

"Your faith and your knowledge of the restoration of the gospel will give you the strength to be faithful and true to the covenants you have made with the Lord, and to share your strengths and talents gladly to build up the kingdom of God here on the earth! Your testimony of Jesus Christ is the most important anchor that you can have to help hold you, steadfast and immovable, to principles of righteousness, regardless of the challenges and temptations that may come in the future" ("Steadfast in Christ," Ensign, Dec. 1993, 52).

A Loving Voice of Warning

Our prophet, President Thomas S. Monson has said,

"Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year's supply of food and were debt-free. "

"Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free."
