“We live in the perilous times. Those who try to walk the
straight and narrow path see inviting detours on every hand. We can be
distracted, degraded, downhearted, or depressed. How can we have the Spirit of
the Lord to guide our choices and keep us on the path? In modern revelation the
Lord gave the answer in this commandment: ‘That thou mayest more fully keep
thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and
offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day.’ This is a commandment with a
promise. By participating weekly and appropriately in the ordinance of the
sacrament we qualify for the promise that we will always have His Spirit to be
with us. That Spirit is the foundation of our testimony. It testifies of the
Father and the Son, brings all things to our remembrance, and leads us into
truth. It is the compass to guide us on our path.” – Elder Dallin H. Oaks
