Elder Richard L. Evans quoted some 60 years ago: “Many of us profess to be Christians, yet we … do not take Him seriously. … We respect Him, but we don’t follow Him. … We quote His sayings, but we don’t live by them.” “We admire Him, but we don’t worship Him.”

How different life could be if the world esteemed Jesus above the level of a profane swearing streak from time to time. – Jeffrey R. Holland, “As a Little Child,” Liahona (CR) May 2025
