Alma 31:8-11 Worshiping the Lord by doing the small things will keep me on the path.
“During the past years I have at times been asked by the
Brethren to meet with repentant members of the Church and interview them for
the restoration of their temple blessings. This has always been a spiritually
moving experience to restore the blessings of those wonderful people who have
repented. I have asked some of them the question, ‘What happened in your life
that caused you to temporarily lose your membership in the Church?’ With
tear-filled eyes they answered: ‘I didn’t obey the basic principles of the
gospel: prayer, attending church regularly, serving in church and studying the
gospel. I then gave in to temptations and lost the guidance of the Holy
Spirit’” (Rulon G. Craven, “Temptation,” Ensign, May 1996, 76).
