Even as we seek to be meek and to avoid contention, we must not compromise or dilute our commitment to the truths we understand. We must not surrender our positions or our values. The gospel of Jesus Christ and the covenants we have made inevitably cast us as combatants in the eternal contest between truth and error.
Loving-kindness is required, but a follower of Christ—just like the Master—will be firm in the truth.

Sacrament Responsibility
If the emblems of the
sacrament are being passed and you
are texting or whispering or playing
video games or doing anything
else to deny yourself essential spiritual food, you
are severing your spiritual roots and
moving yourself toward stony ground.
