Standards -
Measure
Up . You Will Never Outgrow
Your Need for Standards. (See
John 14:15.)
Stand
Firm. Our standards are
determined by the Lord, not
by the direction of the wind.
(See Helaman 5:12.)
Dress
for Success - Dress appropriately.
Don’t let a bad choice
trip you up. (See For the Strength
of Youth [2001], 14–16.)
Are
Your Standards Shrinking?
- If it’s too tight, too
short, or too revealing, it
doesn’t fit Church standards.
Don’t stretch your standards
to fit the world’s. (See
For the Strength of Youth, 14–16.)
Some
Music Can Hurt You. “Some
music is spiritually very destructive.
… It is far more dangerous
than you may suppose, for it
can smother your spiritual senses.”
— President Boyd K. Packer,
Acting President of the Quorum
of the Twelve Apostles, “Personal
Revelation: The Gift, the Test,
and the Promise,” Ensign,
Nov. 1994, 61.
Shelter
from the Storm. There’s
comfort and safety in the standards,
and they cover everyone. (See
Matt. 7:24–25.)
Be
Your Best - Be Grateful
• Be True • Be Smart
• Be Humble • Be
Clean • Be Prayerful -
President Gordon B. Hinckley
Put
It On. The enemy’s
aiming at you. Protect yourself.
See Eph. 6:11–18.
Don’t
Be a Dummy. A mannequin
wears whatever the world is
selling. Your standards are
higher than that.
Don’t
Shortchange Yourself. The
way you dress advertises your
standards. Send the right message.
(See For the Strength of Youth,
p. 8.)
Listen
Up. The things you listen
to should be uplifting. (See
A of F 1:13.)
Use
Shelf Control. If it’s
not appropriate, leave it there.
(See Ps. 24:3–4.)
Don’t
Give Mixed Signals. Make
your standards clear so those
who follow you won’t get
lost. (See Prov. 4:18.)
You
Are What You Watch. What
you see and hear affects your
thinking. And what you think
is what you become. (See Alma
37:35.)
Foul
Language Is for the Birds.
You don’t have to parrot
what you hear. Fly high with
clean speech. (See James 5:12.)
Don’t
Fall for It. Stand firm.
Just because everyone else is
doing it doesn’t make
it right. (See Mosiah 18:9.)
