The Stripling Warriors The War Chapters Alma 43-63 President
Henry B. Eyring: As the forces [of sin] around us increase in
intensity, whatever spiritual strength was once sufficient will not
be enough. And whatever growth in spiritual strength we once
thought was possible, greater growth will be made available to us.

The Stripling Warriors The War Chapters Alma 43-63 Elder
Russell M. Nelson: [You] will encounter people who pick which
commandments they will keep and ignore others that they choose to
break. I call this the cafeteria approach to obedience. This
practice of picking and choosing will not work. It will lead to
misery. To prepare to meet God, one keeps all of His commandments.
It takes faith to obey them, and keeping His commandments will
strengthen that faith (Face the Future with Faith, Ensign or
Liahona, May 2011, 34).

The Stripling Warriors The War Chapters Alma 43-63 While we are
profoundly grateful for the many members of the Church who are
doing great things in the battle for truth and right, I must
honestly tell you it still is not enough. We need much more help.
We need you. Like Helamans 2,000 stripling warriors, you too can be
endowed with power to build up and defend His kingdom. We need you
to make sacred covenants, just as they did. We need you to be
meticulously obedient and faithful, just as they were. (The
Greatest Generation of Missionaries, Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2002,
4647).
