In recognition of the 250-year anniversary of the founding of the United States of America as a free and independent nation, Elder Quentin L. Cook and I discussed the importance of religious liberty and its underlying significance for the restored Church of Jesus Christ.

We believe in religious liberty.

As the Eleventh Article of Faith reminds us, “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.”

What your children really want for dinner is you!

In an age of constant online connection, we may need to disconnect from technologies and other distractions to truly reconnect with our families.

Families grow stronger when they set aside these distractions and spend meaningful time together—learning eternal values like the importance of marriage and children, the purpose of life, and the true source of joy.

Parents also have a duty to teach their children practical knowledge apart from gospel principles. Families unite when they do meaningful things together. Happy family experiences strengthen family ties. Camping, sports activities, and other recreation are especially valuable for bonding families.

Some may say, “But we have no time for any of that.” To find time to do what is truly worthwhile, many parents will find that they can turn their families on if they all turn their technologies off.

What those we love need most is simply time with us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate role model. He will help us as we strive to build these family bonds.

"Your worth isn’t tied to obedience. Your worth is constant. It never changes. It was given to you by God."

[The Book of Mormon @thebookofmormon]

“Greater love” has always been the mission of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon testifies of His eternal and matchless love and bears witness of His resurrected visit to the Americas.

Share how the “greater love” of our Savior has changed your life.

This is a great idea. Nothing else has created any kind of positive change.

[Dave McCann @DaveMcCannTV]

As I see it, a way to curtail hate speech by fans attacking a specific religion, like some Oklahoma State fans did throughout Wednesday’s #BYU game, is to punish the home team with a technical foul or if it’s football — assess a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. If a coach can hear it, the officials can too. Fines haven’t worked as a deterrent. If being decent and respectful is too much to ask, then let fans see how their actions impact their own team. Maybe the offending party will even begin to police themselves? The #Big12 should lead out on this. None of us are perfect and we can all be better, but chanting “F the Mormons” — or any other group of people — can’t and shouldn’t be tolerated.

[Jackson Payne @jackson5payne]

"I got four small kids at home. I’m a Mormon. When I go home, they’re going to ask me about (the chants) the same way they asked me about it last year at Arizona.

"There’s just too much hate in the world to be saying stuff like that. We got enough problems in our world without going at people’s religion and beliefs."

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He performed miracles in the Old Testament & in the New Testament. He performs miracles now & he will yet perform many more. He has never given up on you, please don’t ever give up on Him. You are his creation. You are his everything.
