In the things that really matter--our covenants, the commandments, and following the prophet--we need to be completely united. In the non-essentials, we have our agency to handle things as we see fit. But, in all things, regardless of whether we make the same choices or not, we are to treat each other with dignity and respect, both of which are evidences of charity in our hearts and lives.

The only way that we may overcome the world is by coming unto Christ. And coming to Christ means walking away from the world.

We no longer have the luxury of spending our energy on anything that does not lead us and our families to Christ.

Motherhood is more than bearing children...It is the essence of who we are as women.

Because again, if Lucifer can make an aberration seem normal- or better yet, evil seem normal, he has made striking inroads.

Lucifer whispers that life's not fair and that if the gospel were true, we would never have problems or disappointments. ... The gospel isn't a guarantee against tribulation. That would be like a test with no questions. Rather, the gospel is a guide for maneuvering through the challenges of life with a sense of purpose and direction.

We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.
