President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

Valiant in the Testimony of Christ



"To be valiant in the testimony of Jesus is to take the Lord's side on every issue. it is to vote as he would vote. It is to think what he thinks, to believe what he believes, to say what he would say and do what he would say and do what he would do in the same situation. it is to have the mind of Christ and be one with him as he is one with his Father." (Elder Bruce R. McConkie "Be Valiant in the Fight of Faith" - Ensign, Nov. 1974, 33)

"Being valiant in our testimony of Jesus, therefore, includes being valiant in our efforts to live more as he lived (see D&C 76:79). We certainly cannot enter His kingdom without receiving the restored ordinances and keeping their associated covenants, but neither can we enter His kingdom without having significantly developed our charity and the other cardinal attributes (see Ether 12:34). Yes, we need the essential ordinances, but we also need the essential attributes. Yes, we need to keep our covenants, but we also need to develop our character." (Elder Neal A. Maxwell - "Apply the Atoning Blood of Christ" - "Ensign" - Nov. 1997, 22)
