2011 LDS Young Women’s Theme
The LDS Young Women’s Theme for 2011 is "We Believe". This comes from the 13th Article of Faith.
A notice dated September 15, 2010, announced the 2011 Mutual theme: “—We believe in being bhonest, true, cchaste, dbenevolent, virtuous, and in doing egood to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—
Can there be better advice given to Young Women and Young Men in or out of the church? The world needs young people of faith who truly believe. Youth who believe enough to act on their faith…to be honest, true , chaste, benevolent, virtuous and do good to all men.
So much can be learned from just the first line. We believe in being honest. President Gordon B. Hinckley stated;
How cheaply some men and women sell their good names! I recall the widely publicized case of a prominent public figure who was arrested for taking an item costing less than five dollars. I do not know whether he was ever convicted in the courts, but his petty misdeed convicted him before the people. In a measure, his foolish act nullified much of the good he had done and was capable of yet doing.
Each time we board a plane we pay a premium so that our persons and our baggage may be searched in the interest of security. In the aggregate, this amounts to millions of dollars, all because of the frightening dishonesty of a few who by threat and blackmail would try to obtain that to which they are not entitled.
Padded insurance claims, padded expense accounts, bogus checks, forged documents—these are all symptomatic of an epidemic of unbelievable proportions. In most instances the amount involved individually is small, but in total it represents personal dishonesty on a huge scale.
Add to honest, the traits of true, chaste, benevolent, virtious and doing good to all men. If all men and women could follow such advice as the 2011 youth theme, the world would be so blessed.
