DISCIPLESHIP

 “My general counsel to you is that we must create regimens that foster spiritual housecleaning—ongoing and continual processes that draw us closer to the Lord our Savior so that we can be numbered among His disciples.” ~Elder L. Tom Perry, Discipleship, October 2000 General Conference

“We are under covenant both to lift up those in need and to be witnesses of the Savior as long as we live.” ~President Henry B. Eyring, Come Unto Me, April 2013 General Conference

“Satan would rather that you define yourself by your sins instead of your divine potential.” ~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Four Titles, April 2013 General Conference

 “We carry in one hand a vial of consecrated oil for blessing the sick; in the other we carry a loaf of bread to feed the hungry; and in our hearts we carry the peaceable word of God, ‘which healeth the soul.’” ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Four Titles, April 2013 General Conference

“Disciples of Jesus Christ understand that compared to eternity, out existence in this mortal sphere is only ‘a small moment’ in space and time.  They know that a person’s true value has little to do with what the world holds in high esteem.  They know you could pile up the accumulated currency of the entire world and it could not buy a loaf of bread in the economy of heaven.” ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, You Matter to Him, April 2013 General Conference

“Many think that the price of discipleship is too costly and too burdensome. For some, it involves giving up too much. But the cross is not as heavy as it appears to be. Through obedience we acquire much greater strength to carry it.” ~ President James E. Faust, Discipleship, October 2006 General Conference

“The gospel is the way of discipleship. As we walk in that way, we can experience confidence and joy—even during times of peril, sorrow, and uncertainty.” President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Way of the Disciple, April 2009 General Conference

“That Spirit defined those early members of the Church as followers of Christ.  If you can understand a people so long-suffering, so tolerant, so forgiving, so Christian after what they had suffered, you will have unlocked the key to what a Latter-day Saint is. Rather than being consumed with revenge, they were anchored to revelation. Their course was set by the teachings still found today in the Old and the New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.” ~President Boyd K. Packer, The Test, October 2008 General Conference

“God knows that some of the greatest souls who have ever lived are those who will never appear in the chronicles of history.  They are the blessed, humble souls who emulate the Savior’s example and spend the days of their lives doing good.” ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, You Matter to Him, April 2013 General Conference

 “Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.” ~Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Followers of Christ, April 2013 General Conference
