Discipleship
Thou shalt love the Lord they God with ALL thy heart!
If ye love me, keep my commandments!
The crowning characteristic of love is always Loyalty.
We have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the pour to lift up, and the truth to defend.
We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do.
I have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating my love of the Lord.
We can't quit and we can't go back! After an encounter with the living Son of the living God, nothing is ever again to be as it was before.

Think less of yourself
“There are those who wake up every morning dreading to go to school, or even to a Church activity, because they worry about how they will be treated. You have the power to change their lives for the better. … The Lord is counting on you to be a builder and give them a lift. Think less of yourself and more about the power you have to assist others, even those within your own family.” Elder Joe J. Rachael Christensen Dean

Acting on Faith
No matter who we are or where we live, there is much about our daily lives that is routine and repetitive. As we go about this dailiness, we must be deliberate about doing the things that matter most. These must-do things include making room first for the minimum daily requirements of faithful behavior: true obedience, humble prayer, serious scripture study, and selfless service to others. No other daily vitamins strengthen the muscles of our faith as fast as these actions. We also must remember that genuine fasting fosters strong faith. This is especially important as we faithfully seek to fix deeply embedded character flaws which go “not out but by prayer and fasting.”16
Developing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is a step-by-step, line-upon-line, and precept-upon-precept process. We promote the process of strengthening our faith when we do what is right—increased faith always follows as a consequence.17 If we exercise our faith daily with prayer, study, and obedience, the Savior helps our unbelief, and our faith becomes a shield to “quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”18 Alma taught that we may “withstand every temptation of the devil, with [our] faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.”19 However, we can neither ignore nor reject the essential ingredients of faith and then expect to reap a rich harvest.

Of the Seventy
Our Code of Conduct
"As taught in
this scripture D&C 132:19, an eternal bond doesn’t just happen as a result of sealing
covenants we make in the temple. How we conduct ourselves in this life will
determine what we will be in all the eternities to come. To receive the
blessings of the sealing that our Heavenly Father has given to us, we have to
keep the commandments and conduct ourselves in such a way that our families
will want to live with us in the eternities."
