LDS.org - Ensign Article - Little Children - 0 views

  • True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior. Preoccupation with unworthy behavior can lead to unworthy behavior. That is why we stress so forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel. The laws of God on marriage, birth, and nurturing of little children may seem rigid, but they are very practical.

    A little late, but I wanted to highlight President Packer's quote about the study of behavior in relation to the gospel.

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Project Gutenberg - 0 views

  •  
    One of my favorite books ever. Raskolnikov kills two women to prove that he is one of the "supermen" Nietzche talks about as being able to rise above the moral structure of God, which, according to Nietzsche, is now dead. "Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?"
