<code> But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth. - D&C 93:40</code>
<code> "The practice of truth, the acid test of our commitment, is known by many terms - for example, honesty, integrity, uprightness, and probity. . . ," said Bishop J. Richard Clarke, then a counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, in the April 1984 general conference."The love of truth and the practice of truth are best learned in the home. The Lord has laid the responsibility with parents to `teach their children to walk uprightly before the Lord.' (D&C 68:28.)</code>
<code> "Children gain a love for truth by watching parents practice truth; they learn to emulate noble character. They need models of consistency, not just sermons alone. I believe one of the most important lessons a parent can teach a child is that integrity and honor are not practiced without price. They usually require sacrifice, almost always inconvenience, and often embarrassment. . . .</code>
<code> "As Jesus of Nazareth was the embodiment of truth, so should we bear witness. We may talk about our religion, we may discuss marvelous manifestations and revealed gifts and powers, we may profess high ideals and noble values; but the proof of our commitment lies in our performance in the daily transaction of our life.</code>
<code> "Let us covenant as did Job, even in his extremity: `Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.</code>
<code> " `My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.' " (Job 27:5-6.)</code>
