Our mortality requires many things from us. This collection goes over some of these requirements, such as making choices, taking the higher road, staying within boundaries, having courage, praying with real intent, facing obstacles, and having an eye single to the glory of God.

John's life may have been very different had he not had the courage to leave a party one evening in Japan.

The gospel teaches us who we are and helps us maintain focus on our eternal purpose. Living with real intent ensures we reach the full measure of our creation.

As children of God, we have been given the wonderful gift of choice. The truest happiness and peace we can have comes by choosing to obey His laws.

Obedience to the Ten Commandments

A young boy’s encounter with a scorpion in the Arabian desert can teach us a lot about what we must do to avoid and overcome the venomous sting of sin.
