"You will one day find yourself called upon to defend your faith. These moments will require courage and courtesy on your part" There is a circle of distinguished men and women who have experienced the sufferings of Christ. Prophets, apostles, and members have paid a high price to honor God.
You may wonder if it is worth it to take a courageous stand, yes it is worth it because the scriptures say those who don't will have desolate homes. "Christ-like love is the greatest need we have on this planet." This love forsakes transgression and any hint of sin. We can forgive sin without condoning it.
Pure Christ-like love can change the world. Defend your faith with courtesy and compassion, but defend them.

Our Savior has the power to cleanse and heal you. Petition him for help with serious sin. You can feel compassion for others' sins, but not responsibility.
How do we protect our youth? Filters are good, but a deep and eternal testimony is better. To fortify the youth-talk, rejoice, preach, and prophesy of Christ. The only things that really need to be accomplished in the home are daily scripture study and prayer and FHE. Even if other chores are left undone, these righteous activities should be accomplished.
Although it may feel stressful to try and accomplish these activities, they really take away stress. Take responsibility for your own spiritual health.

We are a chosen generation of destiny. Repentance will subdue the force of sin. Challenges will come to you, but as you trust in God they will strengthen you. God made our spirits strong and resilient. How do you prepare? Build your foundation on God.
There is a wide chasm between our LDS values and society's values. Be in the world but not of the world.
Everyone deserves our kindness and consideration. The Book of Mormon is another protection from the whirlwinds of life. "Stand in Holy Places and Be not Moved" The temple has a spiritual power above that of the troubles of the world. There is a tangible feel of holiness in the temple. How you feel in the temple is how you want to feel in life.

The happiness of eternal life comes through family bonds. Many small choices lead us down this path. It takes faith in Jesus Christ to keep our covenants.
