Posted: 15 Nov 2010 11:00 PM PST "Not all will follow the map [Heavenly Father has given us]. They may look at it. They may think it is reasonable, perhaps even true. But they do not follow the divine directions. Many believe that any road will take them to a 'happily ever after.' Some may even become angry when others who know the way try to help and tell them. They suppose that such advice is outdated, irrelevant, out of touch with modern life."Sisters, they suppose wrong." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Your Happily Ever After," Ensign, May 2010, 127 Topics: Enduring to the End, Plan of Salvation |

Offering Spiritual Help Invites All to Come to Christ Posted: 23 Nov 2010 11:00 PM PST "The Lord's work and glory truly is 'to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man' (Moses 1:39).

" Koichi Aoyagi, "Helping Hands, Saving Hands," Ensign, May 2010, 36 Topics: Jesus Christ, Fellowship |

However, faithful obedience, regardless of the apparent size of the task, will bring the Lord's guidance, assistance, and peace." Bruce A. Carlson, "When the Lord Commands," Ensign, May 2010, 39 Topics: Obedience, Faith, Courage |
