"Surely there is nothing sadder or more tragic than individuals claiming to be brethren and sisters of Christ who 'do not know what to do with their time': who 'have nothing to do.' There is enough to do to fill one hundred lifetimes, if people would open their eyes, and get their little minds off themselves. No one does enough for others, in service and kindness and remembrance. No one studies enough. No one writes enough letters. No one teaches the Truth enough.

True brethren and sisters of Christ will be perpetually thankful for every precious moment of time that God gives them, and will eagerly fill every moment with joyful usefulness in His glorious service. The more we devote our lives to constructively and actively doing the work of God, the less likely we are to sin. This is not a guarantee, for the flesh is very deceptive, but it is a great help. The more we keep God in mind, the more He will strengthen us against weakness and folly. We are much more likely to sink into sin when our guard is down, and our minds are on present things. Knowing this, we are responsible for our failures if we put ourselves in the channel of failure."
