HEAVENLY Father has given a simple PATTERN for us to receive the Holy Ghost not once but continually in the tumult of our daily lives. The pattern is repeated in the sacramental prayer: We promise that we will always REMEMBER the SAVIOR. We promise to take His name upon us. We promise to KEEP His commandments.

Love is the motivating principle by which the Lord leads us along the way towards becoming like Him, our PERFECT EXAMPLE. Our way of life, hour by hour, MUST be filled with the love of God and love for others. There is no surprise in that, since the Lord proclaimed those as the FIRST and GREAT commandments.

The HOLY Ghost will testify to our hearts, and the hearts of those gathered AROUND with US, what He WOULD have us do. And it is by keeping His commandments that we can have our hearts knit together as one.

We are safe on the rock which is the Savior when we have yielded in faith in Him, have responded to the Holy Spirit's DIRECTION to KEEP the commandments LONG ENOUGH and faithfully enough that the POWER of the Atonement has changed our hearts.

We are spirit children of a loving Heavenly Father who placed US in mortality to see if we would choose - freely choose - to keep His commandments and COME unto His Beloved SON. They do not compel us. They cannot, for that would INTERFERE with the plan of happiness. And so there is in us a God-given desire to be responsible for our own choices.

PEOPLE who are OFFENDED by the TEN Commandments have a deeper PROBLEM than the stone that it's written on, I think.

SAY what you will about the TEN commandments, you must always come BACK to the pleasant FACT that there are only ten of them.

'Thou shalt not GET found out' is not one of God's commandments; and no man can be SAVED by trying to KEEP it.

I THINK DEMOCRATS KEEP the commandments of the LORD more.

I ask every man and woman occupying a PLACE of responsibility whose DUTY it is to teach the gospel of JESUS Christ to live it and KEEP the commandments of God, so that their example will teach it.

I KNOW a FELLOW who's as BROKE as the TEN Commandments.
