One Generation Away

Psalm 78


“...this Church is always only one generation away from extinction. That does not change however many decades old we are now. It was true in 1840, it was true in 1891, and is true in 1981. We are always just one generation away from extinction. All we would have to do, I assume, to destroy this work is stop teaching our children for one generation. Just everybody stop, close the books, seal up your heart, keep your mouth shut, and don’t bear a testimlony. In one generation it would be 1820 all over again.”

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, BYU Speeches, August 25, 1981
