• There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust.

We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead.

• Certainly one of our God-given privileges is the right to choose what our attitude will be in any given set of circumstances. We can let the events that surround us determine our actions-or we can personally take charge and rule our lives, using as guidelines the principles of pure religion. Pure religion is learning the gospel of Jesus Christ and then putting it into action. Nothing will ever be of real benefit to us until it is incorporated into our own lives.
