I think it is interesting how some individuals have no problem sharing stories of individuals who have found Christ from all walks of life but when it comes to sharing something from these men there is hesitation. Almost a feeling of resentment. There seems to be a knee jerk reaction when anything is posted that has the flavor of, "don't listen to them" only follow Christ. As if these men are not doing all in there power to point us in his direction. Sometimes random obscure quotes that try and make people think they are looking for adulation and pointing people to them and not Christ.
Let's assume for a second that we didn't need the priesthood authority in the Church (which I do not believe) But lest assume that was true, would we still not want to highlight things these men say about Christ at least some of the time? Like this from President Faust:
If you have a hard time acknowledging that these men Love Christ or have a hard time sharing things they say about him, what else is that saying?During the years of my life, and often in my present calling, and especially during a recent Gethsemane, I have gone to my knees with a humble spirit to the only place I could for help. I often went in agony of spirit, earnestly pleading with God to sustain me in the work I have come to appreciate more than life itself. I have, on occasion, felt the terrible aloneness of the wounds of the heart, of the sweet agony, the buffetings of Satan, and the encircling warm comfort of the Spirit of the Master.
I have also felt the crushing burden, the self-doubts of inadequacy and unworthiness, the fleeting feeling of being forsaken, then of being reinforced an hundredfold. I have climbed a spiritual Mount Sinai dozens of times seeking to communicate and to receive instructions. It has been as though I have struggled up an almost real Mount of Transfiguration and upon occasion felt great strength and power in the presence of the Divine. A special sacred feeling has been a sustaining influence and often a close companion.
