G.C. Droplets October 2011 -Charity Never Faileth

Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others. -Silvia H. Allred (quoting Thomas S. Monson)

I have a positive conviction that God is a reality--that he lives. He is our Heavenly Father, and we are his spiritual children. -Howard W. Hunter

Science has done marvelous things for man, but it cannot accomplish the things he must do for himself, the greatest of which is to find the reality of God. -Howard W. Hunter

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

Faith is the primary tool in the realm of religion, and it is also the tool of the scientist. -Howard W. Hunter

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

It is just as reasonable to believe in an unseen God, in a literal resurrection, or in the miracles of the things pertaining to the spiritual as it is to believe in some of the discoveries in the field of the physical sciences. -Howard W. Hunter

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

Faith gives the knowledge that what we see in the wonders of the earth and in all nature was created by God. -Howard W. Hunter

Faith makes us confident of what we hope for and convinced of what we do not see. -Howard W. Hunter

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

He who makes no effort to learn of the existence of Deity will, in this life, likely not learn there is a Deity. But his ignorance does not warrant him in declaring there is no God. -Howard W. Hunter (quoting Joseph F. Merrill)

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

As important as scientific research may be, the greatest quest is a search for God-to determine his reality, his personal attributes, and to secure a knowledge of the gospel of his Son Jesus Christ. It is not easy to find a perfect understanding of God. The search requires persistent effort, and there are some who never move themselves to pursue this knowledge. In place of making the struggle and effort to understand, they follow the opposite course, which requires no effort, and deny his existence. -Howard W. Hunter

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -To Know God

Scientific research is an endeavor to ascertain truth, and the same principles which are applied to that pursuit are used in the quest to establish the truth of religion as well. -Howard W. Hunter

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -Why Is My Boy Wandering Tonight?

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -Why Is My Boy Wandering Tonight?

It all depends upon you and your attitudes, for your altitude, or the height you climb is dependent upon your attitude or your response to situations. -Spencer W. Kimball

G.C. Droplets October 1974 -The Davids and the Goliaths

We who are in positions of authority must be careful indeed, because others watch us and find in us their examples. -Spencer W. Kimball

Be glad there are big hurdles in life and rejoice, too, that they are higher than most people care to surmount. Be happy they are numerous.

Kimball

There is no right way to do something wrong. -H. Burke Peterson

G.C. Droplets October 2011 -Providing in the Lord's Way

G.C. Droplets October 2011 -Providing in the Lord's Way

When it comes to our own prejudices and grievances, we too often justify our anger as righteous and our judgement as reliable and only appropriate.
