Choose to live by faith and not fear
Average is the enemy of excellence, and average commitment will prevent you from enduring to the end.
Enduring to the end requires total commitment to the Savior and to our covenants.
Don't let something you don't fully understand unravel everything you do know.
Casual obedience and lukewarm commitment weaken faith.
Personal righteousness is a choice. Faith is a gift from God, and one possessed of it can receive enormous spiritual power.
We get what we focus on consistently.
If you lose the Spirit, you are lost.
In a household of faith, there is no need to fear or doubt. Choose to live by faith and not fear.
As patterns of obedience develop, the specific blessings associated with obedience are realized and belief emerges. Desire, hope, and belief are forms of faith, but faith as a principle of power comes from a consistent pattern of obedient behavior and attitudes. Personal righteousness is a choice. Faith is a gift from God, and one possessed of it can receive enormous spiritual power.
