“In
today’s world, unless we are on guard, we will join the many people
who are comfort-seekers. We will, thereafter, try to find some place
where there is 72°F. temperature, where we can lie relaxed, with no
effort, be fed, tended, and protected. The Lord never told us that
life was supposed to be easy, comfortable, or convenient. Life is all
upstream. It is all uphill. If we quit the struggle, we will be washed
downstream. We face ahead some narrow places, both as individuals and
as a church. We are ‘shot at’ with criticism and opposition from many
directions.
“If you feel that you must answer every criticism and challenge that comes your way, a single critic or one heckler can occupy your full time. I have learned that there is one place to search for approval and that is up—to be approved of our Lord and of our Heavenly Father.” - Boyd K. Packer, “That All May Be Edified,” p. 249

We are far removed from the days of our forefathers who were
persecuted for their peculiar beliefs. Some of us seem to want to
share their reward but are ofttimes afraid to stand up for
principles that are controversial in our generation. We need not
solicit persecution, but neither should we remain silent in the
presence of overwhelming evils, for this makes cowards of men. We
should not go out of the path of duty to pick up a cross there is no
need to bear, but neither should we sidestep a cross that clearly
lies within the path of duty. - Ezra
Taft Benson, “Conference Report,” October 1964, Second Day-Morning
Meeting, p.56
