Russell M. Nelson “[You] will encounter people who pick which commandments they will keep and ignore others that they choose to break. I call this the cafeteria approach to obedience. This practice of picking and choosing will not work. It will lead to misery. To prepare to meet God, one keeps all of His commandments… Obedience to the commandments of God will provide physical and spiritual protection” (Russell M. Nelson, “Face the Future with Faith,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2011, 34, 35).
Elder Neal A. Maxwell “Righteous desires need to be relentless... because said President Brigham Young, ‘the men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the Celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle every day.’ “Therefore, true Christian soldiers, are more than weekend warriors” (Elder Neal A. Maxwell “According to the Desire of [Our] Hearts”, Ensign, 1996).
Bruce C. Hafen “The Prince of Darkness has dragged out the heavy artillery. He is no longer limited to arrows and swords and BB guns. Now he is Darth Vader, with laser guns, light speeds, and the death star. We are near the end of a fight to the finish, and no holds are barred.” Bruce C. Hafen, “The Gospel and Romantic Love,” Ensign, Oct. 1982, 66
