God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but we are not. Each day, ours is the challenge to access the power of the Atonement so that we can truly change, become more Christlike, and qualify for the gift of exaltation and live eternally with God, Jesus Christ, and our families. For these powers, privileges, and gospel gifts, thanks be to God!

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

Inner peace comes only as we maintain the integrity of truth in all aspects of our lives.

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

Fasting gives you confidence to know that your spirit can master appetite . . . and helps to protect against later uncontrolled cravings and gnawing habits.

Act by inspiration, motivated by love.

Truth is truth! It is not divisible, and any part of it cannot be set aside.
