“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail” Moroni 7:46
Extensions of the above in relation to obedience:
Obedience is not the same as charity. Hence, obedience will fail at some time.
If nothing else, the drama in the Garden shows us that disobedience may at times stem from (or lead to) charity.
To obey is greater than sacrifice, but nothing is greater than charity.
Obedience may be the first law of heaven, but charity is certainly the greatest.
Every true commandment is given in charity else the commandment is given in vain.
Every true act of obedience is done in charity else the act is committed in vain.
We would do well to remember that God is love.
Nowhere do we read God is obedience.

Not ANOTHER discourse on charity! Find a new gospel hobby--like chastity or alcohol or something exciting like that. You really need some variety.
I still maintain that charity is by far the most rock 'n roll concept ever.
