In Elder Ballard’s talk Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet Elder Ballard said “In many cases it is with words that you will accomplish the great things that you set out to do.”
This quote provides amazing insight. When I think of greatness I often think of historic military leaders in ancient Rome and Greece, but in reality we too can become great through use of words. Words can be used to build up or tear down others. By helping to build up others we not only help them to become great but us as well.
Another interesting quote from the above mentioned talk describes the rapid growth of modern technology. It states “This is the world of the future, with inventions undreamed of that will come in your lifetime as they have in mine.”
It is sometimes hard to maintain inner peace in a world of rushing and clashing ideas.However, it is exciting to think of the possibilities that modern inventions could hold. Maybe there will be a teleporter, a way to breathe underwater, or a way to visit space at a low cost. Whatever inventions may come it is reassuring to know that the Lord’s Principles will never be outdated.
