“Whoever said that sin was not fun? Whoever claimed that Lucifer was not handsome, persuasive, easy, friendly? Sin is attractive and desirable. Transgression wears elegant gowns and sparkling apparel. It is highly perfumed; it has attractive features, a soft voice. It is found in educated circles and sophisticated groups. It provides sweet and comfortable luxuries. Sin is easy and has a big company of pleasant companions. It promises immunity from restrictions, temporary freedoms. It can momentarily satisfy hunger, thirst, desire, urges, passions, wants without immediately paying the price. But, it begins tiny, and grows to monumental proportions - drop by drop, inch by inch.”

“It is not easy to be at peace in today’s troubled world. Necessarily peace is a personal acquisition. … It can be attained only through maintaining constantly a repentant attitude, seeking forgiveness of sins both large and small, and thus coming ever closer to God.”

“We make no apology then for raising our voices loud to a world that is ripening in sin the lord has said,” Say nothing but repentance unto this generation; The adversary is subtle, cunning, he knows that he cannot induce good men and women immediately to do major evils so he moves slyly, whispering half truths until he has his intended victims following him finally he clamps his chains upon them and fetters them tight, and then he laughs at their discomfiture and their misery.”

“Sin is the result of deep and unmet needs.”

“Our world is in turmoil. It is aging toward senility. It isvery ill. Long ago it was born with brilliant prospects. Itwas baptized by water, and its sins were washed away. Itwas never baptized by fire, for that is still to come. It hashad shorter periods of good health, but longer ones ofailing. Most of the time there have been pains and achesin some parts of its anatomy, but now that it is growingold, complications have set in, and all the ailments seemto be everywhere.The world has been ‘cliniced,’ and the complexdiseases have been catalogued. The physicians have hadsummit consultations, and temporary salve has beenrubbed on afflicted parts, but it has only postponed thefatal day and never cured it. It seems that while remedieshave been applied, staph infection has set in, and thepatient’s suffering intensified. His mind is wandering. Itcannot remember its previous illnesses nor the curewhich was applied. The political physicians through theages have rejected suggested remedies as unprofessionalsince they came from lowly prophets. Man being whathe is with tendencies such as he has, results can beprognosticated with some degree of accuracy.”

“Jesus perfected his life and became our Christ. Priceless blood of a god was shed, and he became our Savior; his perfected life was given, and he became our Redeemer; his atonement for us made possible our return to our Heavenly Father, and yet how thoughtless, how unappreciative are most beneficiaries! Ingratitude is a sin of the ages.”

“Soul mates' are fiction and an illusion; and while every young man and young woman will seek with all diligence and prayerfulness to find a mate with whom life can be most compatible and beautiful, yet it is certain that almost any good man and any good woman can have happiness and a successful marriage if both are willing to pay the price.”
