Workshop 4: Epic Heroes are the Moral Compass for Their Peers

Our mission is to educate principled leaders who make a difference in the world. To achieve that, a person must have many skills and qualities, including the highest standards of integrity, sound judgment and a strong moral compass— an intuitive sense of what is right and wrong. ~Kim B. Clark

II. For Parents: What are you teaching your youth about priorities?

[The home] used to be a place where a family would sit down and have meals together and translate values and teach and train. Now homes are places where, by and large, both parents work and they sort of intersect in the hallway. ~W. Steven Albrecht

Many things, in fact most, are interesting, and many are enticing. But some things are IMPORTANT. 
The limits of time dictate that we must prioritize what we do.

We may be bucking a strong tide, but we must teach our children that sin is sin.
~Spencer W. Kimball

III. Epic Heroes lead, not follow


Standards
I suggest … the following standard. Any dating or pairing off in social contacts should be postponed until at least the age of 16 or older, and even then there should still be much judgment used in selections and in the seriousness. ~Spencer W. Kimball

That the Church’s stand on morality may be understood, we declare firmly and unalterably it is not an outworn garment, faded, old-fashioned, and threadbare. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and his covenants and doctrines are immutable; and when the sun grows cold and the stars no longer shine, the law of chastity will still be basic in God’s world and in the Lord’s church. Old values are upheld by the Church not because they are old, but rather because they are right. ~Spencer W. Kimball (see also  "Integrity")

You can help strengthen people to do the (right thing) when they see that you didn't
make the compromise or take the easy decision."
