Purity Precedes Power
Elder M. Russell Ballard
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Young men gain priesthood power through moral purity, self-control, high goals and trust in parents and the Lord.
“The devil is a dirty fighter”
“commandments are guidance for happy living.”
“You must have self-control and high goals.”
“Trust him. Confide in him.”
