We need to step up our teaching so that our youth do more on their own to understand the doctrines of Christ and the reality of the Restoration, and we need to find a way to motivate them to write these things on the 'tablets of their hearts.'

The spirit of Christmas is Christlike love.

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.

Each of us is equally valued in the eyes of the Lord.

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.

Let us defend the home as a place which is second only to the temple in holiness.

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