Principles, Promises and Powers

As Joseph Smith once explained, "I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves." There are principles that have been set forth by the Lord for our benefit and growth. By obedience to such principles, there are promises and powers abounding. Nothing puts so much order into human life as to live by a set of sound principles. -Dr. Henry C. Link. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.-2 Peter 1:4. The powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled, only upon the principles of righteousness.-D&C 121:36
