The submissive will make it through to that final scene, for the word of God will lead the man and woman of Christ "in a straight and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery . . . and land their souls . . . at the right hand of God in the kingdom, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers" (Helaman 3:30) "who have been ever since the world began . . . to go no more out."

Why is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?

We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.

In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.

If the kingdom of God is not first, it doesn't matter what's second.

The truth is that not yet usually means never. Trying to run away from the responsibility to decide about Christ is childish. Pilate sought to refuse responsibility for deciding about Christ, but Pilate's hands were never dirtier than just after he had washed them.

Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
