"The Lord, through revelation, has taught us in section 68 of the Doctrine and
Covenants that parents have the responsibility to teach and train their children
in righteousness. Parents have been instructed to 'teach their children to pray,
and to walk uprightly before the Lord' (D&C
68:28).
"What does it mean to walk uprightly before the Lord? The word upright is
defined as honest, honorable, straightforward. Thus, to walk uprightly, our
children need to choose to live in an honest, honorable, straightforward manner.
Children who understand and live the gospel today can walk with assurance and
joy and someday will enter the presence of the Lord, walking uprightly." -

Children to Walk Uprightly before the Lord," Ensign (CR), May 1994, p.84

“In Timothy, we are admonished to be an example of the believers. (See 1 Tim.
4:12.) A believer is someone who follows and knows the teachings of Christ not
only in his mind but also in his heart and whose actions are a witness of that
belief. It isn't easy to be an example of the believers. We don't usually wake
up in the morning and say, 'Today I'm
going to be an example of the believers!'
Yet we can say, 'Today I will be kind
and thoughtful, or considerate, or honest, or whatever quality I need to work
on.' And then we will try hard all day
to make a conscious effort to do so. That we can do!” - Ruth B. Wright, “Be
Thou an Example,” Ensign (CR), November 1991, p.90
