In July 1994 for a Sunday School class of teens I was teaching, this came to mind (and I've been sharing it ever since) "One of the greatest stumbling blocks for us members of the church is that we like to think of ourselves as exceptions to the rule.

We will never be let into the Celestial Kingdom as an exception. We will be admitted only when we fully conform to the standards set for admittance by our Father in Heaven." Rozann W.
