Elder Richard G. Scott

Quorum of the Twelve

"Avoid worldly wickedness. Know that God is in control. In time, Satan will completely fail and be punished for his perverse evil. God has a specific plan for your life. He will reveal parts of that plan to you as you look for it with faith and constant obedience. His son has made you free — not from the consequences of your acts, but free to make choices. God's eternal purpose is for you to be successful in this mortal life. No matter how wicked the world becomes, you can earn that blessing. Seek and be attentive to the personal guidance given to you through the Holy Spirit. Continue to be worthy to receive it. Reach out to others who stumble, and are perplexed, not certain of what path to follow."

"Your security is in God your Father and his Beloved Son, Jesus Christ."

"As a young man or woman, though life may seem difficult now, hold on to that iron rod of truth. You are making better progress than you realize."

"You will bless your children with insight the world can never give them. Your example will set the course for their successful life as the world becomes even more difficult."

Wickedness never was happiness. "If you are ever tempted to experience the alluring offerings of Lucifer, first calmly analyze the inevitable consequences of such choices and your life will not be shattered. You cannot ever sample those things that are forbidden of God, as destructive of happiness and corrosive to spiritual guidance, without tragic results."
