You Can’t Pet a Rattlesnake
Elder David E. Sorensen
Of the Presidency of the Seventy
Moral temptations like pornography are poisonous snakes; avoid them with personal fortifications, prayer, and repentance through Christ.
“David, my boy, you can't pet a rattlesnake!”
“I just don't go to R-rated movies!”
“Pray for the desire to do what is right.”
“Joy comes from living the way the Savior lived.”
“Stay away from pornography.”
Scriptures
