Inspired

I am learning a lot from teaching seminary and often, a quote or a scripture from my studies will really resonate with me and my testimony will be strengthened. Tonight, I came across a quote that I really like and I thought I would share. I think it's quite appropriate in the times that we live in and a nice reminder of where our focus and influence should be, especially for the youth of the church. This is from President Ezra Taft Benson:

The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environments. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.
