Great Quotes from Wilford W. Anderson's Talk

The Rock of Our Redeemer

"These early Saints were indeed homeless, but they were not hopeless. Their hearts were broken, but their spirits were strong. They had learned a profound and important lesson. They had learned that hope, with its attendant blessings of peace and joy, does not depend upon circumstance. They had discovered that the true source of hope is faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His infinite Atonement, the one sure foundation upon which to build our lives." -- Elder Wilford W. Anderson, The Rock of Our Redeemer, http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1207-5,00.html, April 2010.

"Hope comes from faith in Jesus Christ. He has already overcome the world and has promised that He will wipe away our tears if we will only turn to Him and believe and follow." -- Elder Wilford W. Anderson, The Rock of Our Redeemer, http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1207-5,00.html, April 2010.

"When we strive to keep the commandments of God, repenting of our sins and promising our best efforts to follow the Savior, we begin to grow in confidence that through the Atonement everything will be all right. Those feelings are confirmed by the Holy Ghost, who drives from us what our pioneer mothers and fathers called 'our useless cares.' In spite of our trials, we are filled with a sense of well-being and feel to sing with them that indeed “all is well.'" -- Elder Wilford W. Anderson, The Rock of Our Redeemer, http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1207-5,00.html, April 2010.

“Remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.” -- Helaman 5:12, as quoted in Elder Wilford W. Anderson, The Rock of Our Redeemer, http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1207-5,00.html, April 2010.
