I Read the Following Scriptures and Talks that Relate To My Chosen Gospel Principle

“The Principles of My Gospel” | David A. Bednar | April 2021

(from the talk above) “Gospel principles are for me and you what a helm is to a ship. Correct principles enable us to find our way and to stand firm, steadfast, and immovable so we do not lose our balance and fall in the raging latter-day storms of darkness and confusion.”

Suggestion: “SOS: A Teenage Guide to Getting Home in Safety” by John Bytheway (Audiobook HERE) – Description: Using the map of the gospel and the compass of the Holy Ghost, teens will learn how to navigate effectively through the many dangers in our earthly voyage. Readers will also learn how to anchor themselves in times of storm, and how to focus on the steady beam that comes from the lighthouse known as the Light of the World.

How I Can Apply This Gospel Principle in My Life

ColorQuote (HERE or above) DATING STANDARDS
“In a world of shifting values, staying true to our standards is critical to spiritual survival. Sincerely committing ourselves to honoring our covenants can strengthen us against temptation. …Act now, so that a thousand years from now, when you look back at this moment, you can say this was a moment that mattered—this was a day of determination.” –Neal A. Maxwell, “Why Not Now?” Ensign, Nov 1974, 13.
