It is strengthened as we communicate in humble prayer with our loving Heavenly Father."

Inspirational Messages: The Power of Deliverance

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Wed, 30 May 2012 08:00:00 -0700

"Neither the Bible nor the Book of Mormon in and of themselves is sufficient. Both are necessary for us to teach and learn about the full and complete doctrine of Christ. The need for the other does not diminish either one of them. Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon are necessary for our salvation and exaltation. As President Ezra Taft Benson so powerfully taught, 'When used together, the Bible and the Book of Mormon confound false doctrines.'"

We are not in a race against each other to see who is the wealthiest or the most talented or the most beautiful or even the most blessed. The race we are really in is the race against sin, and surely envy is one of the most universal of those."
