SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 34:32,34 |
|
For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors. . . . Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball |
|
“You are sent to this earth not merely to have a good time or to satisfy urges or passions or desires … and have what the world calls ‘fun.’ “You are sent to this world with a very serious purpose. You are sent to school, for that matter, to begin as a human infant and grow to unbelievable proportions in wisdom, judgment, knowledge, and power” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, p. 4).

Anxiously Engaged: A Biography of M. Russell Ballard
When M. Russell Ballard was set apart as Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January 2018, it was another milestone in a lifetime of service to the Lord. Having set aside a variety of entrepreneurial ventures to serve as president of the Canada Toronto Mission at the age of forty-five, he then accepted a call to serve in the First Quorum of the Seventy two years later, in 1976, and thus never ended up returning to the business world. In Anxiously Engaged, accounts of this dedicated missionary, husband, father, business leader, and Apostle―accompanied by photos throughout―offer a close-up look at President Ballard’s life, faith, and testimony. As readers come to appreciate the meaningful difference he has made in the lives of the Lord’s children around the world, their own testimonies of his role as a prophet, seer, and revelator will grow.
