QUOTE OF THE DAY
Spencer W. Kimball

"While we lack recollection of our pre-mortal life, before coming to this earth all of us understood definitely the purpose of our being here. We would be expected to gain knowledge, educate ourselves, train ourselves. We were to control our urges and desires, master and control our passions, and overcome our weaknesses, small and large. We were to eliminate sins of omission and of commission, and to follow the laws and commandments given us by our Father" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, p. 3).

 
LDS QUOTE MEMES

This quote is from Elder Bednar on being Meek.
 
  
ARTICLE: "They Profess That They Know God; but in Works They Deny Him" (Titus 1:16)

As a person studies and learns about Jesus Christ, they come to learn of his personality.  They learn of his attributes and characteristics which the Prophet Joseph Smith taught were essential to develop faith in him.
