Can you and I overcome the propensities of the natural man or woman through willpower and goal setting and determination and discipline?
No.
We learn in the Book of Mormon that the Savior is at the center of our transformation:
“For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint THROUGH the Atonement of Christ the Lord” (Mosiah 3:19).

“Growing up, it was always God, family, and baseball. There were a lot of late nights practicing, a lot of traveling, and sometimes it was hard to get to church. But my parents helped me build a foundation on a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“I always had a testimony, but I hadn’t read the Book of Mormon all the way through. I believed what my parents told me. They’re really smart, and their testimonies are strong. Then I got drafted, and I thought, ‘All right, I probably need to read this for myself.’
“One of the guys I was drafted with shared my faith. We became roommates and studied the scriptures together. As I read, I received personal revelation. That’s when my testimony really became stronger. I could see Heavenly Father’s hand in putting someone like that in my life.
“Reading helped me strengthen my testimony, and living what I believed gave me more opportunities to recognize His hand.
“My mom had talked to me about tithing before I even had a job. She told me about the blessings she’d seen and encouraged me to pay it. So I did. As I’ve kept that commitment, I’ve learned that the blessings can be physical, too. For me, being able to play baseball at my best is a blessing I connect directly to paying my tithing.
“Playing at an elite level still has its ups and downs. After a good year, I had a rough year. Sometimes you’re asking Heavenly Father, ‘Please help me,’ and you forget how much He’s already helped. Looking back helped me recognize the opportunities and blessings He had already given me.
“That same commitment to living my faith carries into how I take care of myself. Living the Word of Wisdom is a choice I made early. I’ve never wanted to drink or smoke. In high school, I watched people try vaping, get addicted, and struggle to stop. I didn’t want to find myself in that situation, and I’m grateful I made that decision before I ever started playing professionally.
“So when we were celebrating with the team and there wasn’t any sparkling cider, I opened the fridge, saw some Fanta in glass bottles, and grabbed a couple. I didn’t even want to hold alcohol because I didn’t want to give the impression I was drinking it. Then everybody started sending me pictures of their Fanta.
“Reading the Book of Mormon, paying my tithing, and living the Word of Wisdom are commitments I carry with me. As I’ve lived them, the foundation my parents helped me build in the gospel of Jesus Christ has become stronger through my own experiences.
“Heavenly Father has really shown His hand in my life.”

⚽️Tras más de 20 años jugando para la selección argentina, hoy se retira Lionel Messi, campeón mundial sub 20, campeón de los Juegos Olímpicos, bicampeón de la Copa América y Campeón del Mundo en 2022.
🏆 207 partidos jugados, 125 goles y 68 asistencias lo convierten en el jugador con más presencias, más goles y más asistencias en la historia de la Albiceleste. Números que reflejan la dimensión de un legado histórico que difícilmente vuelva a repetirse.

Dallin H. Oaks is one of the most brilliant men alive
He’s given almost 110 sermons in the past four plus decades as a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles
I’ve listened to all of them multiple times. I try to listen to one sermon of his each day.
Today he gave one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard.
I hope you’ll consider watching it — or any of his past sermons.
Decades ago he was a whisker away from being appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court
That’s how brilliant he is.
God had other plans for him.
God had a ministry for him.
Remember the Bible teaches in Amos 3:7 that “Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He revealeth His secret until His servants the prophets.”
This living prophet Dallin H. Oaks just proclaimed that new scriptures will yet come forth which show how Jesus, after His resurrection 2,000 years ago, visited His “other sheep” which were not on the fold of Jerusalem.
I have known this before. But his reminder of these future revelations moved me today. I believe discover of additional ancient scriptures may happen sooner than I used to think.
The Bible is the word of God and it proclaims the divinity of Jesus Christ.
Another book also teaches that same truth; in fact, the title page of the Book of Mormon, first published in 1829, says it is written for “the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations.”
President Oaks confirmed that God and Christ remember all people on the entire earth and that grace is literally available to all, including what the scriptures call “the heather” — all are alike unto God and He remembers them all. Salvation is not for a chosen few who were somehow pre-destined.
Grace is available to all who come unto Christ (now, or even after they die, they will have a chance to receive His gifts of grace.)
Pres. Oaks said God expects us to seek truth via the scientific method and via the spiritual method — and that ultimately all scientific and spiritual truths will be in complete harmony.
He has always sought learning by study and by faith.
I believe this explains his brilliance. He finds truth in two powerful ways — reason and revelation.
As a #Learner I have always been drawn to study ancient texts and to discover the wisdom and lessons they contain.
A living Prophet of God just said we can expect further scriptures to come forth showing how Jesus Christ, The Eternal God, remembers all people everywhere.
I can hardly wait.
Oh yes, and remember when it happens, it was foretold, by a prophet of God.

As your president, I pray for what our Heavenly Father wants for each of us—to be active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, proceeding forward on the covenant path into the eternities.
We need one another’s prayers. I feel the positive effect of your prayers. I am thankful, and I love you.

We’ve launched NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform to help people control what AI agents can access and do.
Agents can write code, use tools, and work on complex tasks for hours or days. That work requires access to data and systems, along with clear limits on how they’re used.
NVIDIA OpenShell enforces permissions around the agent’s work. BlueField-4 and DOCA add independent monitoring and security controls in the infrastructure, outside the agent’s reach. Vera CPUs power the work itself.
Together, these technologies give teams a foundation for putting agents to work with defined permissions, oversight, and protection.

Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.
Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come.
But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility.
This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems.
Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy.
Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m
