Standards—Mormonads

Don't Be Two-Faced. To fit in, we sometimes put on false faces, pretending to go along with the crowd. Wear those faces too often, and we may forget who we really are. (See 1 Thess. 5:22.) Jan. 1990

Don't Fall for It. Stand firm. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t make it right. (See Mosiah 18:9.) May 1991

Don't Give Mixed Signals. Make your standards clear so those who follow you won’t get lost. (See Proverbs 4:18.) Nov. 1996

Don't Try Bending the Rules. Sure, you can bend the rules, but you end up going in the wrong direction. (See 2 Ne. 9:41.) Oct. 2002

Leave evidence of your faith in Jesus Christ wherever you go.

Popularity. It’s overrated. Sometimes the crowd is just plain wrong. (See Helaman 13:2–4; 16:2.) Sept. 2006

Shine Forth. There is a light in each of us. Share it. (See D&C 115:5.) Jan. 2012

Stand Firm. Our standards are determined by the Lord, not by the direction of the wind. (See Helaman 5:12.) Jan. 2008

Stand Out. Peer pressure making you feel boxed in? Stand out by standing up for what’s right. (See 1 Timothy 4:12.) Nov. 2003

Stand in Holy Places. “Anywhere you are where the Spirit is present can be a holy place.” (Elaine S. Dalton, “Holy Places in Your Life,” New Era, Jan. 2013, 7; see also D&C 87:8.) Jan. 2013

Stay True. Be who God wants you to be by staying in line with gospel truth, even when the standards of others are falling. Aug. 2015

Stay on Your Toes. The only safe path is straight and narrow. (See 2 Nephi 9:41.) Oct. 2011

Straight and Narrow Is the Way. There are many paths to choose, but only one leads to eternal life. (See 2 Nephi 9:41; 31:17–21; Alma 7:9.) Oct. 2012

Virtue—the Gold Standard. Fill your thoughts with virtue, and confidence will fill your life. (See D&C 121:45.) Oct. 2009
