Yes, my brothers and sisters, sacrifice is just as integral a part of the economy of God today as it has ever been. And sacrifice still brings forth the blessings of heaven. Without it no blessings come forth, although serving just to earn blessings is not right either. The service should be rendered because we love the Lord and love his children. – Hartman Rector, Jr., “Sacrifice Still Brings Forth Blessings,” Ensign (CR) November 1971
