Faith

Mission Statement 

Throughout my study on Faith, I have learned that faith is the foundation in finding the truth and confirming our beliefs. There are so many things that require us to act upon faith, we do not know things for sure, we put our faith and trust in the Lord to help guide us in our daily life. We pray with the faith that they will be answered, we pay our tithing when money is low - putting our faith in the Lord that he will help us get by. Our entire religion is based upon faith and trust. I have personally witnessed the blessings that have come from putting faith in the Savior. He will carry us through the most difficult times if we let him in. I know that with assurance. 

Light of Faith

“Faith is a living, intelligent force through which God himself performs his great work.”

“It is my hope and my belief that the Lord never permits the light of faith wholly to be extinguished in any human heart, however faint the light may glow. The Lord has provided that there shall still be there a spark which, with teaching, with the spirit of righteousness, with love, with tenderness, with example, with living the Gospel, shall brighten and glow again, however darkened the mind may have been. And if we shall fail so to reach those among us of our own whose faith has dwindled low, we shall fail in one of the main things which the Lord expects at our hands”

J. Reuben Clark 

Conference Report, Oct. 1936, p. 114

The Spark of Faith

"Our faith leads us to repentance, to the gifts of the Spirit, and from that to the perfect love which the Master Shepherd has, and knows we must have to serve him."

Move This Work Forward

“Frequently it is not easy to face up to that which is expected of us. Many think they cannot do it. We need a little more faith. We should know that the Lord will not give us commandments beyond our power to observe. He will not ask us to do things for which we lack the capacity. Our problem lies in our fears and in our appetites"

President Gordon B. Hinckley

Brethren, We Have Work to Do

“Keep going, and the Lord will help you. At times you may not know quite what to do or what to say—just move forward. Begin to act, and the Lord assures that “an effectual door shall be opened for [you]” (D&C 118:3). Begin to speak, and He promises, “You shall not be confounded before men; for it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say” (D&C 100:5–6).”
