Thursday Text: The Standard of Truth

The Sunday before last, I had to speak in church. Part of my assigned topic was Elder Ballard's talk from last October's General Conference called, "The Truth of God Shall Go Forth." It was an interesting talk, and I was able to explore it in some different ways, but I really liked that it included Joseph Smith's words about the Standard of Truth. For anyone who doesn't yet have this memorized, here it is:

The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.
