Honoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.

He chose to honor us with His priesthood. So we honor Him by honoring His priesthood - both its power and those who bear it.

I worry about all who are impure in their thoughts, feelings, or actions or who demean their wives or children, thereby cutting off priesthood power.

We need women who are devoted to shepherding God's children along the covenant path toward exaltation; women who know how to receive personal revelation, who understand the power and peace of the temple endowment; women who know how to call upon the powers of heaven to protect and strengthen children and families; women who teach fearlessly.

History teaches us that there are two different ways to gain control over a nation. One way is through love and reverence and the other way is through fear.

Reverence reduces hostility.
