“In matters of covenantal purity, the sacred is too often being made common, the holy is too often being made profane. To any who are tempted to walk, talk or behave in these ways—don’t expect it to lead to peaceful experience; I promise you in the name of the Lord, it won’t.”

Elder Holland seemed sad this #GeneralConference. I think we underestimate the weight of burden on the backs of the GAs. It must be a bit like like Moses coming down from Sinai w/God’s word to deliver & finding Israel dancing riotously before an idol.

Moses beholding the wicked scene from the mount, Noah rebuffing a people so wicked that God would destroy them with flood, Moroni watching his people sin themselves to destruction—general societal soul-sickness creates a great deal of heartsickness in disciples of Christ.
“When God has forgiven us, which he is so eternally anxious to do, may we have the good sense to walk away from those problems, to leave them alone, to let the past bury the past.” #JeffreyRHolland
There’s a reason we mortals can’t save ourselves. We’re just children—infants in the span of eternity. We are fickle, distractible, so easily swayed in our naivety. We hold ourselves accountable for nothing or everything. We’re rash, narrow-minded judges of ourselves & others.
When it comes to forgiveness, we cannot & need not trust ourselves; we must trust entirely in the power of Christ. If he says I’m forgiven, I AM forgiven. No more beating myself up. I stumbled & he steadied me. I fell & he lifted me. I am on my way, clean again, humbled, healed.
“My testimony of this record is as binding & unequivocal as was theirs [the people of The Book of Mormon.] Like them, I give my name unto the world, to witness unto the world that which I have seen. And like them, I lie not, God bearing witness of it.” #JeffreyRHolland 
One of the best testimonies ever borne, I think. We’re so timid sometimes. We feel like little children in the driver’s seat of a racecar, afraid to touch any controls & cause utter destruction. Sometimes we’re right to be cautious. Sometimes he tells us to hit the gas already.
