[K]eep your eye on the ball. Focus on the Savior. Seek for the "precious gifts His Atonement can impart."

I will speak today about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth.

The fashionable opinion of this age is that all churches are true. If that is so, then all religious messages that identify differences in religious doctrine, like ours, are unimportant. That conclusion can cause us and others a serious loss of religious freedom.

So what does it mean that the restored Church of Jesus Christ is the only true church?

Three points. One, we have the fulness of His doctrine, including the purpose of mortal life. …

Two, priesthood authority. … That priesthood authority, together with the keys necessary to direct its operations, are in this restored Church and no other.

Number three, testimony of Christ. Our testimony of Jesus Christ is based upon the revelations of God to His prophets and to us individually. This makes it different, in greater or lesser measure, from the teachings of many in various Christian denominations and other philosophies.

He lives, and His gospel is true. He is the light and life of the world. He is the way to immortality and eternal life. The Holy Ghost has given us a witness of its truthfulness, and I rejoice that I can spend my life in proclaiming it.

Our belief in divine inspiration gives Latter-day Saints a unique responsibility to uphold and defend the United States Constitution and principles of constitutionalism wherever we live. We should trust in the Lord and be positive about this nation's future.

What else are faithful Latter-day Saints to do? We must pray for the Lord to guide and bless all nations and their leaders. This is part of our article of faith. Being subject to presidents or rulers of course poses no obstacle to our opposing individual laws or policies. It does require that we exercise our influence civilly and peacefully within the framework of our constitutions and applicable laws. On contested issues, we should seek to moderate and unify. …

We should learn and advocate the inspired principles of the Constitution. We should seek out and support wise and good persons who will support those principles in their public actions. We should be knowledgeable citizens who are active in making our influence felt in civic affairs. …

I testify of the divinely inspired Constitution of the United States and pray that we who recognize the Divine Being who inspired it will always uphold and defend its great principles.
