Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.

An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom.

Teaching some things that are true, prematurely or at the wrong time, can invite sorrow and heartbreak instead of the joy intended to accompany learning.... The scriptures teach emphatically that we must give milk before meat. The Lord made it very clear that some things are to be taught selectively and some things are to be given only to those who are worthy.

If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.

The guilt that accompanies mistakes can be washed away.
