“Placing God first should be the ultimate priority in one’s
life. Several priorities of the world are often being served ahead of God; including
cultural and family traditions, political correctness, career aspirations,
material possessions, recreational pursuits and power, prominence and prestige.
Are we serving priorities or ‘gods’ ahead of the God we profess to worship?
Have we forgotten the Savior who taught that if we love Him we will keep His
commandments? If so, our priorities have been turned upside down by the
spiritual apathy and undisciplined appetites so common in our day. God’s
commandments are based on and inseparable from God’s plan for His children: the
great plan of salvation. Marriage of a man and a woman is necessary for the
accomplishment of God’s plan. The importance the Church places on the law of
chastity explains the commitment to the pattern of marriage that originated
with Adam and Eve and establishes God’s pattern for the procreative
relationship between his sons and daughters.” – Elder Dallin H. Oaks
