IQB - Obedience



“When we keep the temple covenants we have made and when we live righteously…, we have no reason to worry or to feel despondent.”
Elder Richard G. Scott, Temple Worship: The Source of Strength and Power in Times of Need, April 2009 General Conference


“The protection available to each of us in and through temple ordinances and covenants stands as a great obstacle to the evil designs of Lucifer.”
Elder David A. Bednar, Honorable Holding a Name and Standing, April 2009 General Conference
 

“Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes.”
Elder Richard G. Scott, The Power of Righteousness, October 1998 General Conference


“By making choices consistent with eternal truth, you will develop righteous character and increasing strength to resist temptation.”
Elder Richard G. Scott, The Power of Righteousness, October 1998 General Conference




“Tolerance is a virtue, but like all virtues, when exaggerated, it transforms itself into a vice. We need to be careful of the “tolerance trap” so that we are not swallowed up in it.”
President Boyd K. Packer, These Things I Know, April 2013 General Conference


“But one thing is certain: the commandments have not changed. Let there be no mistake about that. Right is still right. Wrong is still wrong, no matter how cleverly cloaked in respectability or political correctness.”
Elder M. Russell Ballard, Like a Flame Unquenchable, April 1999 General Conference
 

“The distance between the Church and a world set on a course which we cannot follow will steadily increase.”
President Boyd K. Packer,  The Father and The Family, April 1994 General Conference



“God reveals to His prophets that there are moral absolutes. Sin will always be sin. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always deprive us of His blessings. The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change. They are immutable and unchanging.”
Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference



“In a world where the moral compass of society is faltering, the restored gospel of Jesus Christ never wavers. . . We must not pick and choose which commandments we think are important to keep but acknowledge all of God’s commandments. We must stand firm and steadfast, having perfect confidence in the Lord’s consistency and perfect trust in His promises.”
Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference



“There are times that we, as parents, must be able to cut our own children loose in order that they may learn to make decisions for themselves and have the strength to stand on their own.”
Elder Robert D. Hales, Lessons From the Atonement That Help Us Endure to the End, October 1985 General Conference
