"But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness... to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light.
Acts 26:16,18
It is important for leaders to learn to speak out in a way that is persuasive without being heavy-handed or offensive.
The problem with most of us is that we are afraid to stand up for what we believe, to be witnesses for what is true and right. We want to do the right thing, but we are troubled by fears. So we sit back, and the world drifts about us, and society increasingly adopts attitudes and standards of behavior of which most of us do not approve."

Stand a Little Taller - Gordon B. Hinckley
"As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory
1 Thessal5 2:11-12
Individual worthiness to enter the Lord's house requires much individual spiritual preparation. But with the Lord's help, nothing is impossible... Individual worthiness requires a total conversion of mind and heart to be more like the Lord, to be an honest citizen, to be a better example, and to be a holier person.
I testify that such preparatory work brings innumerable blessings in this life and inconceivable blessings for the life to come, including the perpetuation of your family unit throughout all eternity "in a state of neverending happiness" (Mosiah 2:41)."
