Faith is developed in a setting where we cannot see ahead.

Even as we seek to be meek and to avoid contention, we must not compromise or dilute our commitment to the truths we understand.

We should recognize the reality that just because something is good is not sufficient reason for doing it. The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them.

There are people who oppose a federal Constitutional amendment because they think that the law of family should be made by the states. I can see a legitimate argument there. I think it's mistaken, however, because the federal government, through the decisions of life-tenured federal judges, has already taken over that area.

We should seek after spiritual gifts. They can lead us to God. They can shield us from the power of the adversary. They can compensate for our inadequacies and repair our imperfections.

The most powerful teaching of children is by the example of their parents.

Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.
