The gospel teaches us to say "yes" to good friends, "no" to drugs and alcohol, "no" to pornography, "no" to immorality, "yes" to repenting, coming to Christ, and enjoying a life of peace and happiness. It really is a "no-brainer"!

Every individual counts in this unprecedented era of Church growth, where one person’s quiet courage - echoed by figures like Abinadi or Alma - can ripple outward, building the kingdom through simple faith and service. The call is clear: stand firm, share testimonies, and live covenants boldly, knowing God works through each effort to answer prayers and bless others.

Fear stalls you, with Screwtape nudging you from eternity. At Utah State in ’73, a short cheerleader, I was prodded to an Alaskan mission, facing anti-Mormon fire and finding truth. Life flipped - lost elections, a 28-credit, gas-leaky newlywed dash into teaching - showing God’s plan beats fear.
