Go forward with new zeal and determination, and through your example shine the light of the gospel in this troubled world.

Obedience is an emblem of our faith in the wisdom and power of the highest authority, even God.

God reveals to His prophets that there are moral absolutes. Sin will always be sin. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always deprive us of His blessings. The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change. They are immutable and unchanging.

To anyone who has followed the practice of using profanity or vulgarity and would like to correct the habit, could I offer this suggestion? First, make the commitment to erase such words from your vocabulary. Next, if you slip and say a swear word or a substitute word, mentally reconstruct the sentence without the vulgarity or substitute word and repeat the new sentence aloud. Eventually you will develop a non-vulgar speech habit.

Parents have the glorious opportunity of being the most powerful influence, above and beyond any other, on the new lives that bless their homes.
