As near as I can tell, Christ never once withheld his love from anyone, but he also never once said to anyone, ‘Because I love you, you are exempt from keeping my commandments.’ We are tasked with trying to strike that same sensitive, demanding balance in our lives.”īoth Worthen and Elder Holland referred to a 1975 talk on BYU’s 100th anniversary by the late church President Spencer W. “For example, we have to be careful that love and empathy do not get interpreted as condoning and advocacy, or that orthodoxy and loyalty to principle not be interpreted as unkindness or disloyalty to people. “But it will assist everyone in providing such help if things can be kept in some proportion and balance in the process,” he added.
