In the Old Testament I read that the Lord would sanctify His name which the Israelites had profaned among the heathen and the heathen would know that He is God. And He would take the Israelites from among the heathen and gather them into their own land. Ezek. 36: 23-24 "And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and t For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."
In the D&C it says that when the Elders are moved upon by the Holy Ghost, their words are scripture--the voice of the Lord and the power of God unto salvation. This is one reason why we need to take General Conference seriously. The talks given are what the Lord would have us know today, and are the latest revelation to us. It's very important that we study these words carefully and heed what they say. D&C 68: 3-4 "And this is the ensample unto them, that they shall speak as they are moved upon by the Holy Ghost. And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us to keep alert, be courageous and strong, and stand firm in our faith. 1 Cor. 16: 13 "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
