Absolute Truth-Spencer W. Kimball The commandments are not suggestions. Today there is a move to relativism & a "dont get caught" attitude. Dare to stand alone. We discover, but do not create truth. A letter to an unbeliever.
Things That Change and Things That Don't-Rex E. Lee Those that say there are no absolutes are dead wrong. We must give up the pride of our intellect. Bible scholars decided that Christ did not do the things he is said to have done. Build your house on things that do not change.

Freedom and Fulfillment-Truman G. Madsen God will not exert compulsory means. The devil cannot. Indeterminism: we can upset the causal chain. Law is the guarantor of freedom. "it is apparently more bearable to believe the future is fixed than depends on us." We can approach God.
Agency-A Blessing and a Burden-Sharon G. Larsen The Savior is the only person who knows the full extent of temptation because he is the only one who fully resisted. We want freedom without consequences. Our work is to increase faith. Absolutes from God show his love for us.
Addictions We know is harmful but do anyway. Feel we need to lie about. Spirit takes body out of harmony with eternal truths. Exercse becomes an addiction if it goes beyond the point of enhancement & becomes a necessity. A "fix" you can't function w/o.

Anorexic Teens Many teens w/ eating problems come from homes with authoritarian parents-try to control, in a negative way, the behaviors of the son or daughter.
Assistance for one with eating problems Respond with concern. Listen with empathy. Recommend professional help.
According to the Desire of Our Hearts Our desires affect the use of our moral agency and individuality. We will eventually receive in eternity that which we consistently desire.
