We've always been the underdog, and it's the kind of the position we expect to be in.
We've always had obstacles to overcome. But we're a family and we stick together.
We've been able to extend our demographics a little younger to add some of the 20-plus generation into the mix. Our ratings are up, and the revenues have increased somewhere between $1 and $2 million a year.
Writing in the electronic world, you imagine a sound, and then you have to go and find it. It's not like imagining a flute and then making that sound materialize. That's easy!
Our religion will not clash with nor contradict the facts of science in any particular.
I honor and revere the name of Joseph Smith. I delight to hear it; I love it. I love his doctrine. I feel like shouting Hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith, the Prophet whom the Lord raised up. I am bold to say that, Jesus Christ excepted, no better man ever lived or does live upon this earth. I am his witness.

I will tell you what this people need, with regard to preaching; you need, figuratively, to have it rain pitchforks, tines downwards, from this pulpit, Sunday after Sunday.

Pray as if all depended on God and work as if all depended upon you.
He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.
