There
is promise, given under inspiration from the Almighty, set forth in
these beautiful words:
“God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the
unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost.” (D&C
121:26.)
The humanists who criticize us, the so-called intellectuals who
demean us, speak only from ignorance of this manifestation. … They
have not heard it because they have not sought after it and prepared
themselves to be worthy of it. …
Do not be trapped by the sophistry of the world which for the most
part is negative and which seldom, if ever, bears good fruit. …
Rather, “look to God and live.” (Alma
37:47.) - Gordon B.

Faith in God is a prerequisite to the influence of the Holy Spirit. To
have a belief in God is the foundation of a full and happy life.
Without this belief, life can be wasted. Evidence of God’s existence
spreads throughout the universe.
Abraham Lincoln said: “I can see how it might be possible for a man to
look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how
he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.” I believe
I know what Lincoln meant when he made that statement. - John H.

A banker may be able to cancel off one liability with an asset of
equal size, but you can’t do that in the more important accounting
of life, as several great virtues can all be made unusable by one
vice. Recently, three men were being discussed for an important
assignment. Of one it was said, “He is a hard worker and he knows
his business, but he is dishonest.” Of the second it was said, “He
is strictly honest and very capable, but he won’t work.” Of the
third it was said, “He is very capable and well liked, but he is
immoral.” And while praise is wonderful, yet when the account gets
around to the buts, everyone had better pay strict attention. You
can’t cancel off a little immorality with a little industry, or a
little dishonesty with a little ability, or a little atheism with a
few good intentions. - Sterling

Shalt Not,” Ensign (CR) November 1971
