Year-long program based on the Relief Society Declaration
 

Booklet Section: Stand for Truth and Righteousness

"Sisters who know right from wrong stand firm on the Lord's side, making choices that set them apart from the rest of the world
as they carefully monitor the family's use of television programs,
 dress modestly and refrain from watching any films that
glorify violence and immoral behavior." 

(Mary Ellen Smoot, November 1999 Ensigh)

Examples of Goals to Accomplish

  1. How do you interact with people?  How would it change if Christ were by your side?  As you associate with others during the next month, act as if Christ were near.  Evaluate your behavior at the end of each day and note it in your journal or notebook.

  2. For one month eliminate actions that would be offensive to the Spirit of the God.  This may mean eliminating certain movies, music, TV programs, etc.  Make doing what the Savior would want you to do a habit.

  3. Satan encourages us to judge and evaluate each other..a practice that is demeaning to both the person who judges and the one who is judged.  For one month, strive to look at other people as Christ would see them. 

  4. Observe the Sabbath day by trying to focus on three areas: attitude, appearance and activity.  Choose one habitual Sunday activity you would like to see your family or yourself eliminate and strive to change this behavior into one activity that you would like to introduce.

  5. Teach your family about the values, principles and standards described in the pamphlet, "For the Strength of the Youth".  Younger children can easily understand and accept these values.  Set the example for your family in reflecting these standards in your life.

  6. Optional Goals:  You may design two other goals to help you stand for truth and righteousness.

Goals could be passed off by attending Home, Family and Personal Enrichment meetings.  Classes and guest speakers can be planned with this in mind.
