Teaching & Life Hereafter

Houston Temple

President Thomas S. Monson:  "God has continued to see every member as a teacher.  No person can escape the influence of his own example.  A mediocre teacher tells, a good teacher explains, a superior teacher demonstrates, but a great teacher INSPIRES."

Then, as a spiritual thought from Robert Millet: 

"People do not need to wait until some distant day in order to enjoy the fruits of gospel living.  In fact, true Saints enjoy heaven on earth…Procrastination is the thief of eternal life.  As a person puts off his repentance until later, he learns to his dismay that the power to change is inversely proportional to the power of habit:  the greater the strength of habit, the lesser the strength to change.…

 The spirit world is a place wherein righteous works are to be continued, not begun… Every man and woman who is putting off until the next life the task of correcting and overcoming the weakness of the flesh are sentencing themselves to years of bondage... All persons will repent.  The only questions are where and under what circumstances they will repent and thus what degree of glory they will obtain.  There are no murderers, liars and thieves in the telestial kingdom, only repentant murderers, liars and thieves."
