Friendship does not require us to share identical religious beliefs or always agree with one another.

In a recent conversation with my dear friend, Pastor Bob Roberts, at the Global Faith Forum in Washington, D.C., we discussed our shared interest in religious freedom and working together to accomplish good in our communities.

Spending time with friends who have different views and trying to understand their perspective offers at least three benefits beyond just enjoying friendship:

1. It strengthens our love and compassion for one another.
2. It broadens our perspective and can lead to greater insight.
3. It helps clarify and strengthen our own beliefs, allowing us to express them more clearly and confidently.

The world would be better and more peaceful if more people joined together and sincerely tried to understand the perspectives of those who think or believe differently. We are all children of God, which makes each of us spiritual brothers and sisters.

[Dieter F. Uchtdorf @UchtdorfDF]

When you ask God for guidance about decisions in your life—including some important decisions—He may not give you a detailed answer.

The truth is that sometimes it doesn’t matter to the Lord what you decide as long as you stay within the fundamental covenants and principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

There are times when God has a specific path He wants you to follow. There are also times when He will warn you against certain choices because of dangers you can’t foresee. But then there are times when a question has multiple “right” answers, and you can find joy in any of them as long as you live by God’s eternal truths.

You may not see it until much later, but you will look back and know that the Lord never abandoned you, even when He let you make some decisions for yourself. You will see that the dots do connect.

@sltrib Also, this is not an issue of religion. What this man did he would have done regardless of religious affiliation. He is a predator plain and simple.

@sltrib Some states already require leadership in all churches as well as all those that work with children and youth in churches to go through a background check. It is time for Utah to join those ranks. #backgroundcheckssavelives
