Faith in oneself is good, but faith in the Lord and His mercy is so much more important.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745901786962474174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-43049829458395846322012-01-31T21:27:11.202-08:002012-01-31T21:27:11.202-08:00My thoughts EXACTLY when I read that article.

I can't understand why the President quotes so many literary figures instead!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202912310158630136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-30707260878772444252012-01-27T19:53:08.140-08:002012-01-27T19:53:08.140-08:00The thing is, these are good words, good advice fo...The thing is, these are good words, good advice for living one's life, even inspired words, one might say. And God and religious words are scattered here and there in the message. How can you say this is not a religious message when it obviously mentions David, Goliath, an English church man, blessings, and so forth?<br /><br />And thus the good is good in comparison with the world, but is it good in comparison to what Christ wants us to be? Where is the standard that points out where we should be, what we should be living? I would submit that the standard is the Book of Mormon, and the action we need to take is to scour that book, looking for how it applies to us - not to some "nonmember Gentile" but to us LDS Gentiles - and more, how does this apply to me? How have *I* offended God? What do *I* need to change to be where *God* wants me to be.LJnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336442943292813905noreply@blogger.com
