- “President Ezra Taft Benson (1899–1994), a cabinet member under U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, taught this most important distinction: “The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.” Religion and Government, Elder Wilford W. Andersen Of the Seventy
- “Life is going to be lonely, sad, confusing, tough, and dangerous, but God offers gifts of the companionship, comfort, counsel, power, protection, and purification that come through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. To not just survive, but to live a life of wonder, majesty, glory, amazement, and miracles. A life that changes the world.” Spirit, David Butler
