It takes courage to stand for truth. It takes even more courage to stand for truth with love. President Dallin H. Oaks has repeatedly emphasized this message. Last general conference he explained the challenge: “When we seek to keep all the commandments in our personal lives, we are sometimes accused of having no love for those who don’t. When we show personal love and support loving causes, we are sometimes misunderstood as implying support for results that contradict our … religious duties.”…

“You may be thinking … this message would really help someone [else] you know. … But I also hope that you will look deeply into your [own] heart to see if there are shards of pride or jealousy that prevent you from becoming a peacemaker.” – Clark G. Gilbert, “Teach Truth with Love,” Liahona (CR) November 2026
