We are here upon the earth at a remarkable period in its
history. Our opportunities are almost limitless, and yet we also face a
multitude of challenges, some of them unique to our time. We live in a world
where moral values have, in great measure, been tossed aside, where sin is
flagrantly on display, and where temptations to stray from the straight and
narrow path surround us. We are faced with persistent pressures and insidious
influences tearing down what is decent and attempting to substitute the shallow
philosophies and practices of a secular society. Because of these and other
challenges, decisions are constantly before us which can determine our destiny.
In order for us to make the correct decisions, courage is needed—the courage to
say no when we should, the courage to say yes when that is appropriate, the
courage to do the right thing because it is right. – Thomas S. Monson
