contention

The prevalence of a spirit of contention amongst a people is a certain sign of deadness with respect to the things of religion. When men's spirits are hot with contention, they are cold to religion. - Jonathan Edwards “The Book of Mormon does not supplant the Bible. It expands, extends, clarifies, and amplifies our knowledge of the Savior. Surely, this second witness should be cause for great rejoicing by all Christians.” - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Fractal geometry

 

Fractal geometry

When Elder Johnson and his wife, Terri, had five young children, he was also serving as a stake president and worked long hours as a forensic accountant. Every aspect of his life was overwhelming and chaotic, until he looked at his life through the lens of fractal geometry — a concept of never-ending or repeating patterns. He realized that as he adjusted and planned each aspect of his life, his overall life changed and became more organized and more focused. 

“Elder Richard G. Scott gave this powerful statement: ‘We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day,’”

He invited the students to take the fractal geometry theory and apply it to an aspect of their lives. If eternal life is the objective, he said, a person has to start doing the things every day that will allow them to qualify for eternal life: keeping the commandments, becoming Christlike, making covenants and receiving ordinances, and enduring to the end.
