More than 30 years ago, a musical hit graced the stage, which became the first of many films created for members of the Church. Wikipedia states that Saturday's Warrior has become a classic in the Mormon community.
Corny? Perhaps, but the idea of a modern, royal generation today is echoed by many, including general authorities of the Church:
- A Royal Generation
- Chosen Generation
- The Rising Generation (watch this)
Life can be tough. It is fraught with plenty of obstacles and often challenges even the best of us. I am personally grateful for the good examples of our youth.
“For nearly six thousand years, God has held you in reserve to make your appearance in the final days before the Second Coming. Every previous gospel dispensation has drifted into apostasy, but ours will not. … God has saved for the final inning some of his strongest children, who will help bear off the kingdom triumphantly. And that is where you come in, for you are the generation that must be prepared to meet your God. … Make no mistake about it—you are a marked generation. There has never been more expected of the faithful in such a short period of time as there is of us. … Each day we personally make many decisions that show where our support will go. The final outcome is certain—the forces of righteousness will finally win. What remains to be seen is where each of us personally, now and in the future, will stand in this fight—and how tall we will stand.
