FHE-on-the-Go: "Worthiness is Not Flawlessness" Brad Wilcox (October 2021) One Minute Scripture Study: A Come Follow Me Podcast

Today we’re diving into Brother Brad Wilcox’s talk, “Worthiness is Not Flawlessness.”
The quotes we’ll be discussing are:
“Some mistakenly receive the message that they are not worthy to participate fully in the gospel because they are not completely free of bad habits. God’s message is that worthiness is not flawlessness. Worthiness is being honest and trying.”
“That perspective gave Damon hope. He realized God was not up there saying, ‘Damon blew it again.’ Instead, He was probably saying, ‘Look how far Damon has come.’”
“Considering how long Damon had struggled, it was unhelpful and unrealistic for parents and leaders assisting him to say ‘never again’ too quickly or to arbitrarily set some standard of abstinence to be considered ‘worthy.’ Instead, they started with small, reachable goals. They got rid of the all-or-nothing expectations and focused on incremental growth, which allowed Damon to build on a series of successes instead of failures. He, like the enslaved people of Limhi, learned he could ‘prosper by degrees.’”
“God loves us as we are, but He also loves us too much to leave us this way.”
