If you're doing 70 gigs in a tour, there's a lot of responsibility. People need a big night out, and you're providing it.

Question Time' is a nice forum for reasoned political debate. There's no point having me on there trying to crack jokes.

If I was to get into Twitter I'd expose myself to people who adore me or people who absolutely hated me. Neither of those are useful to my soul.

When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, 'What sign do I want to give to God?' That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear.

Men and women may form associations for and among themselves and be governed by stipulations that are mutually acceptable.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

Whether full-time missionaries or members, we should all be good examples of the believers in Jesus Christ.

Contemplation of life after retirement and life after death can help you deal with contemporary challenges.

The only length of life that seems to satisfy the longings of the human heart is life everlasting.

Counsel with your parents is a privilege at any age.

Surely wisdom will come as we listen to learn from children, parents, partners, neighbors, Church leaders, and the Lord.

While musical experts of the world focus on what choir members can do, I would like to focus on what choir members can be.

We are very grateful to leaders of educational institutions who are making such planning possible!

Mission presidents hold keys of responsibility for the welfare, safety, and success of their missionaries.
