“Addressing a general conference, Elder Quentin L. Cook
correctly pointed out, ‘There are some who feel venting their personal anger or
deeply held opinions is more important than conducting themselves as Jesus
Christ lived and taught. How we disagree is a real measure of who we are and
whether we follow the Savior. It is appropriate to disagree, but it is not
appropriate to be disagreeable. If we show love and respect even in adverse
circumstances, we become more like Christ.’ I will not attempt to speak for
your church, but I will speak for and to mine: It’s never an option to claim
Jesus Christ as Savior and behave in an uncivil manner with anyone, under any
circumstance. Never. I pray I will be known for speech seasoned with grace, for
regarding others as more important than myself, and for doing everything in
love.” – Mark DeMoss
