The spirit of Christmas is Christlike love.

True conversion occurs as you continue to act upon the doctrines you know are true and keep the commandments, day after day, month after month.

Regardless of our individual circumstances, we can all enjoy the full blessings of priesthood power through keeping the covenants we have made at baptism and in the temple.

We simply cannot call ourselves Christian and continue to judge one another - or ourselves - so harshly.

There is no age barrier when it comes to Christlike service.

We must stop concentrating on our differences and focus on what we have in common. Then we can realize our full potential and achieve the greatest good in the world.

Let us help build the kingdom of God by standing up boldly and being defenders of marriage, parenthood, and the home.
