Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.
Even as we seek to be meek and to avoid contention, we must not compromise or dilute our commitment to the truths we understand.
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. there is no middle ground in that contest.
Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.
What does it mean to be true to the faith? That word true implies commitment, integrity, endurance, and courage.
In order to ask with real intent or to act with full purpose of heart, we must always make an accompanying commitment.
