"In the churn of crises and the sinister swirl of global events, true disciples will maintain faith in a revealing, loving God and in his plan for redeeming his children, which plan is the why of all that God does.
"Jesus already is victorious in the greatest battle anyway. . . . The Atonement was accomplished, bringing a universal resurrection of billions and billions, lifting all from the grave. . . .
"The restored gospel is buoyant, wide and deep, beyond our comprehension. It edifies, concerning divine design in the universe or stressing the importance of personal chastity and fidelity. Only meek disciples can safely handle such a bold theology.
"Whether in tranquil or turbulent times, our best source of comfort is the Comforter . . . We may shrink from some things in the current human scene, but Jesus did not shrink in Gethsemane nor on Calvary. . . .
"Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions, only variations . . . the faithful will not be totally immune from the events on this planet. We can be troubled on every side, but nothing can really separate us from the love of Christ; worldly anxieties are not a part of being 'anxiously engaged. . . .'
"Just as the Lord knows all of his vast creation, he also knows and loves each in any crowd, indeed, each and all of mankind . . . though living in a time of commotion, we can stand in holy places and not be moved."
