The Power of the Gospel in Welfare
President Ezra Taft Benson
How can members in your ward or branch apply gospel principles to help the poor and needy?
(See Conference Report, Apr. 2009, 5355; or Ensign, May 2009, 5355.)
The Lord works from the inside out. Theworld works from the outside in. The world
would take people out of the slums. Christ
takes the slums out of people, and then they
take themselves out of the slums. The world
would mold men by changing their
environment. Christ changes men, who then
change their environment. The world would
shape human behavior, but Christ can
change human nature.

Ensign, Nov. 1985, 6
