This generation will be called upon to defend the doctrine of the family as never before. If they don’t know the doctrine, they can’t defend it.

Because the Father and the Son love us with infinite, perfect love, and because They know we cannot see everything They see, They have given us laws that will guide and protect us.

When we seek the truth about religion, we should use spiritual methods appropriate for that search.

The love of God does not supersede His laws and His commandments, and the effect of God’s laws and commandments does not diminish the purpose and effect of His love.

If we pick and choose what we accept in the proclamation, we cloud our eternal view, putting too much importance on our experience here and now.

While divine love can be called perfect, infinite, enduring, and universal, it cannot correctly be characterized as unconditional.

As you exercise faith in the Lord and His priesthood power, your ability to draw upon this spiritual treasure that the Lord has made available will increase.

Make your focus on daily repentance so integral to your life that you can exercise the priesthood with greater power than ever before.

No marriage or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, men and women work together in unity of purpose.

We need your strength, your conversion, your conviction, your ability to lead, your wisdom, and your voices.

Are we willing to pray, fast, study, seek, worship, and serve as men of God so we can have priesthood power?

Jesus Christ invites us to take the covenant path back home to our Heavenly Parents and be with those we love.

In times of distress, let your covenants be paramount and let your obedience be exact.

For Heavenly Father’s purposes to be accomplished, Christ’s atoning power needs to be made available to God’s children. The priesthood delivers these opportunities.

The proclamation on the family helps us realize that celestial marriage brings greater possibilities for happiness than does any other relationship.

The difference of the covenant path is uniquely and eternally significant.

Honoring covenants arms us with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.

Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.

I testify of the great blessing of children and of the happiness they will bring us in this life and in the eternities.

One who uses the God-given body of another without divine sanction abuses the very soul of that individual, abuses the central purpose and processes of life.

Let us all improve our personal behavior and redouble our efforts to protect our loved ones and our environment from the onslaught of pornography.

The restored gospel of Jesus Christ proclaims the principle of full partnership between woman and man, both in mortal life and in the eternities.

Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life; so will it be throughout all eternity.

As you teach, lead, and love children, you can receive personal revelation that will aid you in creating and arming valiant, sin-resistant children.

There is eternal influence and power in motherhood.

I focus today on the good that men can do in the highest of masculine roles—husband and father.

When parents are prepared and children listen and participate in the discussion, the family council is truly working!

Answering our accusers in the Savior’s way.

Let us help build the kingdom of God by standing up boldly and being defenders of marriage, parenthood, and the home.

Jesus has overcome the abuses of this world to give you power to not only survive but one day, through Him, to overcome and even conquer.

As your leaders, we call upon members of the Church everywhere to put family first and to identify specific ways to strengthen their individual families.
