On Meeting the Challenges of our Time

The following quotation is insightful (and the entire talk is good) -- available at the Church website, Gospel Library).

"Now, my beloved brethren and sisters, let us read the Book of Mormon and be convinced that Jesus is the Christ. Let us continually reread the Book of Mormon so that we might more fully come to Christ, be committed to Him, centered in Him, and consumed in Him.

"We are meeting the adversary every day. The challenges of this era will rival any of the past, and these challenges will increase both spiritually and temporally. We must be close to Christ, we must daily take His name upon us, always remember Him, and keep His commandments."
Ezra Taft Benson, “Come unto Christ,” Ensign, Nov. 1987, 85
