“Accepting Christ" is only the beginning, not the ultimate goal. Likewise, evangelism is vital, but so is discipleship. To go no deeper is to risk being like the seed that fell not on good soil but on rocky ground, sprouting up but bearing little or no fruit. Focusing solely on God's gift of free salvation is focusing on the minimum.”
― Ann Spangler

“To make a lasting impact on the world's system, one must be distinct from it, not identical to it.”

“Be spiritually independent enough that your relationship with the Savior doesn't depend on your circumstances or on what other people say and do. Have the spiritual independence to be a Mormon--the best Mormon you can--in your own way. Not the bishop's way. Not the Relief Society president's way. Your way.”

“We are here to rejoice together ‘in every good thing.’ It is the strength and joy from a Christ-centered and Christlike life that gives us reason to rejoice.”
