Service that is given with little or no thought of personal advantage is an ideal to pursue for a lifetime.
Dallin H. OaksWhen we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life.
Dallin H. OaksThe distinction between feelings or inclinations on the one hand, and behavior on the other hand, is very clear. It's no sin to have inclinations that if yielded to would produce behavior that would be a transgression. The sin is in yielding to temptation. Temptation is not unique. Even the Savior was tempted.
Dallin H. OaksWe need to lay hold on the feelings and try to control them to keep us from getting into a circumstance that leads to sinful behavior.
