Dallin H. Oaks pairs law with love, showing humility, outreach, and a call to hold truth with tenderness.
What truth about family transcends time? The doctrine of the family is centered in Christ and consistent in scripture.
Can the temple be a place of healing for sexual minorities? For one man, it offered peace, identity, and divine belonging.
What can stop a culture of cads? Faithful fatherhood offers enduring guardrails and societal strength.
What can heal the crisis facing young men? Eliza R. Snow taught a vision of mutual flourishing and identity.
Can early Church practices justify new sealings? The evidence affirms doctrinal continuity, not revisionist change.
Is theological silence a loophole? Air Bud logic misreads doctrine and undermines revealed foundations.
What if love, not labor, is the foundation of a just society? Motherhood proves essential to human flourishing.
What does it mean to listen to women in faith communities? It means discerning voice from ideological demand.
Why can’t we understand each other? Language divides when meaning drifts, and peace begins with clarity.
What defines equal partnership in marriage? It is mutual respect, shared leadership, and making decisions together in unity.
The Family Proclamation affirms the sacredness of the body and the divine design and purpose of gender.
