Neal A. Maxwell
Real disciples absorb the fiery darts of the adversary by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the iron rod with the other (see Eph. 6:16 1 Ne. 15:24 D&C 27:17). There should be no mistaking it will take both hands!
Neal A. Maxwell
Let the scriptures refresh you.
Neal A. Maxwell
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve he spoke of this day, while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal.
