"Well, Christ's love can be tough. What is he trying to do
with us? In his
best-seller, The Road Less Traveled (New York: Simon and
Schuster, 1978), Dr. M.
Scott Peck said that no matter how much we may pussyfoot
around it, all who ask
the question 'What is God's love leading to?' come to a single
terrifying
conclusion: God wants us to become like himself. We are being
prepared for
godhood, and it hurts; it hurts abominably, but there is
peace." — John K. Carmack,
"Upheld
by
the Prayers of the Church,"
General Conference, April 1984

"Also, we need to use more fully the gifts of the Spirit, all
of which
operate through faith. These gifts are available to us today.
Even the ultimate
power--to raise the dead--is occasionally exercised by those
of great faith. The
sick are healed, the blind see, the lame walk, and evil
spirits are cast
out--all through faith and priesthood power in combination. I
feel we do not
enjoy enough spiritual gifts in our priesthood callings." — John K. Carmack, "Faith
Yields
Priesthood Power," Ensign,
May 1993, p. 43

"Moroni taught the great principle that the Lord has allowed
all of us to
have weaknesses, but he added that the Lord will show us our
weaknesses if we
humble ourselves and come to Him. Then he added the crowning
thought that those
weaknesses can become our strengths as we overcome them. (See
Ether 12:27.)
This is true
of low self-esteem. With the Lord's help we can overcome that
serious
impediment." - John K.
Carmack, "To My Single Friends," Ensign,
Mar. 1989, p. 31

"My
testimony is built on the firm convictions that the Book of
Mormon is true and Jesus is our Savior. This spiritual
foundation has helped me weather the storms of challenge and
doubt. I started reading the Book of Mormon in my youth and
have continued, learning and drinking its spirit with every
study." - John
K. Carmack, "United
in Love and Testimony," Ensign (CR), May 2001, p.76

"Perhaps
it is time that we humble ourselves and overcome the
obstacles to faith, and then become converted as Peter did. Why
go
through life with two candlepower when more than four hundred
watts are
available? The tasks are so great! How can we possibly take the
gospel
to all the world and redeem the dead at the same time? I don't
know,
but the power and energy to do so must and will come by faith in
the
Lord Jesus Christ." - John K.
Carmack, "Faith Yields Priesthood Power," Ensign (CR), May
1993, p. 41

May I suggest to all of the
Church, and particularly to you young people and you
missionaries throughout the world, don’t neglect those early
morning prayers to our Heavenly Father. Through those prayers,
you reach him, and through that, you can have peace.
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin.” (Heb.
4:15.) -
