"We find a world today looking for answers to the question, 'What seek ye?' in so many different ways. Too many are sowing seeds of fruit that will not nourish an eternal soul."
"Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ involves challenges I had never before imagined. Yet every day I see new signs of hope, due mostly to the Lord's blessings, but also the efforts of the leaders, members and missionaries."
"A major problem we face in preaching the gospel to the world is the general apathy toward religion, toward things spiritual. Most people are very comfortable with their present lifestyle and feel no need to do more than 'eat, drink and be merry.' They are not interested in anything but themselves, here and now."
"We boldly declare The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides answers to the question, 'What seek ye?' Our church is the means by which men and women find our Savior and his gospel."
"The Lord, during his earthly ministry, recognized the need to have a structure in place to build faith in the hearts of the members of his church and to keep them growing in his gospel.
"After the death of the apostles, without central leadership to guide and direct it, the church drifted into apostasy. This particular lesson of history is clear: It is necessary to have a centralized church government, under the direction of the Savior, that provides the necessary doctrines and ordinances for salvation and exaltation."
