The core “social identity” of believers influences whether saints stand fast in their faith

Latter-day Saint young adults should be loving and avoid contentious debates while standing fast on matters of church doctrine, President Dallin H. Oaks , first counselor in the First Presidency, said Tuesday at Ensign College in Salt Lake City.

President Dallin H. Oaks utilized an Ensign College devotional to call on young people to stand fast in love while proclaiming truth.

President Dallin H. Oaks spoke against racism and prejudice toward LGBTQ members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a devotional at Ensign College. He and Elder Clark G. Gilbert also shared ways members can lovingly defend the U.S. Constitution and Family Proclamation.

Elder Clark G. Gilbert, General Authority Seventy and Commissioner of the Church Educational System, delivered Tuesday’s devotional address. He spoke on how BYU’s mission enables a union of sacred and secular studies and shared four attributes of Christ that can bring us comfort during perilous times.
