The voice of the Spirit is described in the scriptures as being neither loud nor harsh, not a voice of thunder, neither a voice of great tumultuous noise, but rather as still and small, of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it can pierce even the very soul and cause the heart to burn. The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting.

Tolerance is a virtue, but like all virtues, when exaggerated, it transforms itself into a vice. We need to be careful of the “tolerance trap” so that we are not swallowed up in it. The permissiveness afforded by the weakening of the laws of the land to tolerate legalized acts of immorality does not reduce the serious spiritual consequence that is the result of the violation of God’s law of chastity.

Perhaps no other book has been denounced so vigorously by those who have never read it as has the Book of Mormon.

The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

Parents now are concerned about the moral and spiritual diseases. These can have terrible complications when standards and values are abandoned. We must all take protective measures.

Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
