Testimony
"No one can argue with a testimony. It is not a debatable
issue. It is there to be accepted or rejected."
- Bruce R. McConkie
"A testimony isn't something you will have today and will
always have. A testimony is fragile. It is as hard to hold as a
moonbeam. It is something that you have to recapture every day of
your life."
- Unknown
"The possession of a sure testimony is the most valuable possession
that one could have. It give on knowledge, the hope and assurance
that one, through obedience, can be a partaker of all the promised
blessing."
- Marion G. Romney
"Logic and reason lead truth seekers along the path to a testimony,
and they are aids in strengthening the revealed assurances of which
a testimony is composed. But the actual sure knowledge which constitutes
"the testimony of Jesus" must come by "the spirit
of prophecy." This is received when the Holy Spirit speaks
to the spirit within men; it comes when the whisperings of the still
small voice are heard by the inner man. Receipt of a testimony is
accompanied by a feeling of calm, unwavering certainty. Those who
have it can use logic and reason in defending their positions and
in bearing their testimonies, but it is the promptings of the Spirit
rather than reason alone that is the true foundation upon which
the testimony rests."
- Elder Bruce R. McConkie
"The Spirit and testimony of Christ will come to you for
the most part when, and remain with you only if, you share it. In
that process is the very essence of the gospel.
