“Serving, studying, praying, and worshiping are four
fundamentals in perfecting ‘that which is lacking in [our] faith.’ (1 Thes.
3:10). If we cease nurturing our faith in any of these four specific ways, we
are vulnerable. . . .
“In a hardening world, the Lord can pierce our consciousness
by using ‘the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.’ (Eph. 6:17); see
also Jarom 1:12.) However, hearing must be ‘mixed with faith’ (Heb 4:2) and
with Christian service, as we have heard again and again.”
Elder Neal A. Maxwell (1926-2004) of the Quorum of the
Twelve Apostles, “Lest Ye Be Wearied and Faint in Your Minds,” Ensign, May
1991, 88.
