The temptation to be popular may prioritize public opinion above the word of God. Political campaigns and marketing strategies widely employ public opinion polls to shape their plans. Results of those polls are informative. But they could hardly be used as grounds to justify disobedience to God’s commandments!

When priorities are proper, the power to endure is increased. And when internalized, those priorities will help keep you from "going overboard."

In the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institution, and personal faith more forceful than faculty.

Living life in separate compartments can lead to internal conflict and exhausting tension.

Each holy temple stands as a symbol of our membership in the Church, as a sign of our faith in life after death, and as a sacred step toward eternal glory for us and our families.

The temple is the house of the Lord. The basis for every temple ordinance and covenant…is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Every activity, every lesson, all we do in the Church, point to the Lord and His holy house.

Each day is a day of decision, and our decisions determine our destiny.
