For all its advances, our secular age has also weakened ties to religious belief and affiliation, and Latter-day Saints have not been immune.

Some simply leave. Many search for a reliable and faithful place to work through their questions. The abundance of information
...Many today carry a secret: We do not love what we have been commanded to love. We do not love what is holy. Although we might reverence things that are deemed holy— the temple, for example, and the scriptures, and the Sabbath— we do not love them. Not really. Not with our whole souls.

Holland writes, "One of the unfailing facts of mortal life is the recurring presence of trouble....When these difficult days (and nights!) come—and they will—it will help us to remember that 'it must needs be,' that in the grand councils of heaven before the world was, we agreed to such a time of challenge and refinement.
...What do we do with the truths we know?
