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

What is the goal?

"We ought to have the building up of Zion as our greatest object."

Zion is the pure in heart, a people of one heart and one mind, dwelling in righteousness with no poor among them. The Prophet Joseph Smith stated, “We ought to have the building up of Zion as our greatest object.” We build up Zion in our homes, wards, branches, and stakes through unity, godliness, and charity.

(2019, April, D. Todd Christofferson, ‘Preparing for the Lord’s Return,’ Ensign, April 2019, ¶ 21)


“People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.” |
