Scholarship and Faith: Insights from My BYU Experience
The unique and synergistic environment of scholarship and faith at BYU has further connected those important life lessons to significant eternal truths regarding repentance and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the wise use of agency, and how Christ makes weak things become strong.

Grace is not achieved somewhere down the road. It is received right here and right now. It is not a finishing touch; it is the Finisher’s touch.
Light, Truth, and Grace: Three Interrelated Principles Necessary for Exaltation
An essential part of the glory of God is light—or living, life-giving energy. In the scriptural sense, light is a capacitating power through which the righteous are given the faculty to receive truth.
“A Wonderful Flood of Light”
What a blessing it is to be living in a day when we are privileged to have such “a wonderful flood of light” by which we may live. I testify to you of the truthfulness of the restored gospel and that we are led by a living prophet of God.
“In the World Ye Shall Have Tribulation: But Be of Good Cheer; I Have Overcome the World”
Amid all our mortal gloom and doom, Jesus Christ has overcome the world. Come, let us rejoice.
“In the Strength of the Lord”

We will not be saved by our works, but Christ’s grace does not absolve us from effort. True faith in Jesus Christ, which alone can save us, requires action.
