"So it is that the priesthood, through the workings of the spirit, moves individuals closer to God through ordination, ordinances, and refinement of individual natures, thus affording God's children the opportunity to become like him and live eternally in his presence — a work more glorious than moving mountains."
"It is significant that after inviting us to have charity toward 'all men' the Lord added the phrase, 'and to the household of faith.' Why? Doesn't 'all men' include the 'household of faith'? Consider the implications when this added phrase is understood to mean more specifically, 'your very own' household of faith.
"Unfortunately, there are a few within the church who exhibit greater charity toward non-family members than toward their own spouses and children, siblings and parents. They may show feigned kindness publicly while privately sowing and cultivating seeds of contention, demeaning those who should be closest to them. These things should not be."
"When a man is ordained to the Melchizedek priesthood, he enters into an 'order' by which he may be refined through service to others, especially his own family, and blessed by the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost."
Look for the good in others.
