"The unity of the Saints is unique and powerful . . . . That unity is a major reason the church is progressing. Without it, we would falter."
In the church, wealth, social status or skin color doesn't matter. "The feast of the gospel is freely available to all that desire to partake of its delicacies."
"The church is quietly moving forward in crescendo, as a great symphony orchestra moving toward a climax."
The Book of Mormon is one of the unifying elements of the church. "Evidence of the authenticity of The Book of Mormon continues to mount . . . . Scholars continue to find and publish new insights into what the book says and how it says it . . . . Although these evidences have added to my testimony, the original powerful witness of the Holy Ghost has remained unshaken and unaltered."
The value of the testimony of the witnesses to The Book of Mormon can be important to those seeking their own testimonies. In all, 11 men were privileged to see the gold plates from which they were translated. "These witnesses did not recant their testimonies, nor have their published testimonies ever been otherwise impeached."
Christ's Atonement is the central doctrine of The Book of Mormon, but even more importantly . . . our Savior can and will provide succor or help in time of need. His succor brings us peace."
