It's amazing how much you can get done if you don't worry about who gets the credit.

When we undertake to cover our sins, . . . behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man

And so we understand that the atonement of Jesus Christ gives us the opportunity to overcome spiritual death that results from sin, and, through making and keeping sacred covenants, to have the blessings of eternal life.

Man unquestionably has impressive powers... But after all our obedience and good works, we cannot be saved from the effects of our sins without the grace extended by the atonement of Jesus Christ... Man cannot earn his own salvation.

Loving-kindness is required, but a follower of Christ-just like the Master-will be firm in the truth.

Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.

It is not enough that we are under call or even that we are going in the right direction. The timing must be right.
