We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.

Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.

I bear witness of the power of the priesthood given to the Church to protect us and guide us. And because we have that, we have no fear of the future. Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.

Reverence invites Revelation

Your secret yearnings and tearful pleadings will touch the heart of both the Father and the Son.

The study of doctrine and the teaching of doctrine will change behavior more than the study of behavior will change behavior.

There is a falsehood that some are born with an attraction to their own kind, with nothing they can do about it. They are just 'that way' and can only yield to those desires. That is a malicious and destructive lie. While it is a convincing idea to some, it is of the devil. No one is locked into that kind of life. From our premoral life we were directed into a physical body. There is no mismatching of bodies and spirits. Boys are to become men-masculine, manly men-ultimately to become husbands and fathers. No one is predestined to a perverted use of these powers.
