“What the members of the Church need, more than anything else, are strong testimonies of Jesus Christ and the gospel He restored. They need to know. And they need to know that they know. This is the best protection against the tsunami of temptations and the waves of immorality that crash against us. Perhaps this is just another reason why the first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!” KnowsNeedsFirstsReasonJesusStrongChristChurchLordPrinciplesMembersJesus ChristWaveProtectionTemptationReason WhyCrashTestimonyImmoralityLord Jesus ChristTsunami Author:John Bytheway
“Do this and you will be an apostle, a fulfiller of what the Lord chose you for, an accomplisher of your calling as messenger.

“Fill your life with service to others. As you lose your life in the service of Father in Heaven’s children, Satan’s temptations lose power in your life. Because your Father in Heaven loves you profoundly, the Atonement of Jesus Christ makes that strength possible. Isn’t it wonderful? Many of you have felt the burden of poor choices, and each of you can feel the elevating power of the Lord’s forgiveness, mercy, and strength.” FeelsChildrenChoicesFatherJesusHeavenFeltChristLosesPoorLordWonderfulLove YouJesus ChristMercyBurdenTemptationSatanAtonementService To OthersFather In HeavenElevatingPoor Choices Author:Richard G.

“History shows us a lot of things. It shows why the Lord's Prayer includes the supplication: "And lead us not into temptation." In my day, dissertations were still written by hand, or drummed out with a typewriter. In the past, you had to round up the literature, find the books and find the passages. Nowadays you click on Wikipedia or Google and you have everything you need. This probably makes it more difficult to resist temptation.” NeedsStillsBookShowsHandsPastLiteratureDifficultPrayerLordWrittenRoundsTemptationPassagesGoogleClicksTypewritersWikipediaSupplicationDissertation Author:Wolfgang Schauble
“Many Christians backslide...They are unable to stand against the temptations of the world, or of their old nature. They strive to do their best to fight against sin, and to serve God, but they have no strength. They have never really grasped the secret: The Lord Jesus will every day from heaven continue His work in me. But on one condition-the soul must give Him time each day to impart His love and his grace. Time alone with the Lord Jesus each day is the indispensable condition of growth and power.” WorldGivingSoulChristianFightingJesusHeavenGrowthPrayerSinSecretLordGraceConditionsStriveTemptationEach DayServing GodIndispensableHis LoveMe AloneImpartAlone Time Author:Andy Murray

“It takes a pretty strong person, a rather unusual young person, to stand up to ridicule and refuse to give in to temptation. There are so many things today in modern music, on television, and in the movies that portray a life that is nowhere near the life the Lord would have us live. Consequently, we cannot afford to turn to the radio, television, or Hollywood to take our cues about what is right and what is wrong. It is scary to realize that the more we are exposed to Hollywood's version of life, the more we gradually begin to accept it.” GivingPersonsTodayYoungTurnsStrongRealizingAcceptingLordModernTelevisionHollywoodRadioRefuseScaryVersionsTemptationUnusualExposedRidiculeStrong PersonModern Music Author:Robert L.
