Today, I want to talk about being more publicly Christian. My views have changed regarding public involvement since the days of my youth. Society has also changed significantly since I was a youth. In this episode, I will address some common concerns and explain how you can get more involved as a Christian.
"...Love one another; as I have loved you...by this shall men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:34-35)
"Never, never, never check your religion at the door." - Jeffrey R. Holland
"11 And also it is an imperative duty that we owe to all the rising generation, and to all the pure in heart
12 For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it—
13 Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven—
14 These should then be attended to with great earnestness.
15 Let no man count them as small things; for there is much which lieth in futurity, pertaining to the saints, which depends upon these things.
16 You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves.
17 Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." (Doctrine and Covenants 123:12-17)
