Oh come ON!!....'refer back to the previous post'. Talk about giving an uncertain sound, Your the man in charge of and responsible for 'changing what your predecessor says was not changeable', quoted correctly, saying, that the things of God are unchangeable...,'I am GOD I change NOT'.
And what do you do...give an uncertain sound on the trumpet..., snap to it...your slipping. Signs of BAD 'poor' leadership!
Quotes from his book say one thing 'Teachings' Hinkley...., his actions say another: He is right in one thing 'in this kingdom'...for Christ said, 'my kingdom is not of this world'. His kingdom is NOT here...but the LDS 'mormon' one, as quoted by Hinkley, IS.
You cant mix your doctrine's with God and Christ's,...it wont work. So who ya following there guy, and why are you leading so many astray with you...,'in contradiction of the Christ'? Get yourself congruent 'lined up' with GOD and quick. Something sure IS wrong...sound the trumpet indeed'!!!
Teachings of Hinckley: Leadership
In your ministry as leaders in this Church, brethren [and sisters], bless the people. Lift them. Encourage them. Help them. There are so many in distress. They have so many troubles, so many problems....We receive thousands of letters in the Office of the First Presidency from people who live all over this world, in spite of all of our efforts to get them to see their bishops instead of writing to the First Presidency. But they have problems, many of them, and they need help, and they need encouragement, and they need listening to, and that's our great opportunity to bless them.
Bless them with leadership. "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (1 Cor. 14:8). Yours is the opportunity to blow the trumpet with a certain sound. You are leaders. Every man [and woman] here is a leader because you are responsible for the well-being of others. That makes of you a leader. Lead the people. Lead them with boldness. Lead them with faith. Get on your knees and pray to the Lord and lead the people with faith. They will follow where you go as their leaders. God bless you in so doing.
Lead them with doctrine. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39). Teach out of the word of God the doctrine of the kingdom which will save them and bless them and help them and lift them. Teach them the scriptures. Lead them with the scriptures.
Bless them with responsibility. Give them something to do. ...I talked the other day with a man who's been in the stake presidency, who's been in the bishopric, who presided over a mission, who's been a regional representative, and he doesn't have a thing to do, except to sit home with his sick wife and nurse and tend her. He is almost destroyed because he has nothing to reach out to, no responsibility in this kingdom. Bless them with responsibility, brethern. They long for it. They hunger for it, and then need it.
Bless them with example. My father used to say that "more religion is caught that is taught." I believe that. This is a contagious thing... Teach them with example. Let your example be such that they can follow it. Brethren [and sisters], there's no place in your lives, there is no place in your lives for any element of infidelity or immorality, or the reading of pornography, or anything of that kind. You just cannot afford to touch it....
Treat your wives [and husbands] with kindness. You will never have a greater asset in all of this world than the woman [or man] with whom you joined hands over the alter in the temple and to whom you pledged your love and loyalty and devotion for time and all eternity....Be an example to your people of those who walk the path of faith. God bless you as leaders to set an example before your people.
Bless those you lead. May their lives be richer for their experience with you under your leadership. I am so grateful, as I look back, at the privilege that has been mine to work with great men since I was a very young man, even when I was on a mission. My mission president was a member of the Council of the Twelve, a great and good man, and ever since then, it has been my privilege to work with great men who have blessed my life in a very real sense. I am here today because of the munificent effect that others have had upon my life I know that. I've been blessed, and as long as I live, I'd like to bless the lives of others.
