Protection against Temptation

Elder Russell M. Ballard, CES Fireside, March 3, 2002.

     "I like to think of this spiritual armor not as a solid piece of metal molded to fit the body, but more like chain mail.  Chain mail consists of dozens of tiny pieces of steel fastened together to allow the user greater flexibility without losing protection.  I say that because it has been my experience, covering many more yeas than you have yet been privileged to live, that power lies in numerous smaller acts woven together in a fabric of spiritual fortification that protects and shields from all evil."
