“First of all, Scripture draws our attention to this, that if we want ease and tranquility in our lives, we should resign ourselves and all that we have to the will of God, and at the same time we should surrender our affections to him as our Conqueror and Overlord.” IfsWantShouldFirstsAttentionOur LivesDrawsAffectionScriptureSurrenderGods WillEaseTranquilityConqueror Book:Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life Source: Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life
“Such debates [about the nature of Scripture], in my view, distract attention from the real point of what the Bible is there for. Squabbling over particular definitions of the qualities of the Bible is like a married couple squabbling over which of them loves the children more, when they should be getting on with bringing them up and setting them a good example. The Bible is there to enable God's people to be equipped to do God's work in God's world, not to give them an excuse to sit back smugly, knowing they possess all God's truth.” PeopleWorldGivingShouldChildrenRealViewsAttentionQualityKnowingExampleParticularCoupleMarriedDefinitionsExcuseDebateScriptureSettingSettingsGood ExamplesMarried Couples Author:N.

After all, I am lighting a lamp too - the lamp of God's Word.” PeopleAttentionTalkingHolyPleaseScripturePay AttentionLampsLightingFrivolousListen To MeHoly Scriptures Author:Saint John Chrysostom
“The voice of the Spirit is described in the scriptures as being neither loud nor harsh, not a voice of thunder, neither a voice of great tumultuous noise, but rather as still and small, of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it can pierce even the very soul and cause the heart to burn. The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting.” IfsHeartDoeStillsSoulSpiritCausesVoicePerfectAttentionScriptureNoiseLoudHarshThunderShoutingPierceMildness Author:Boyd K. Packer
