And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days. — Doctrine and Covenants 1:4

"The contrast between the Church and the world will be increasingly marked in the future, which contrast, we hope, will cause the Church to be more attractive to those in the world who desire to live according to God's plan for us. . . ." said President Ezra Taft Benson, then president of the Quorum of the Twelve, in the April 1978 general conference.

"The Church will always stand for that which is honest, virtuous, true and praiseworthy. Such a pronounced stand for righteousness constitutes a repudiation against every evil and all false philosophies. The First Presidency and the Twelve are not oblivious to false philosophies and evils and will continue to warn the world and the saints as the Lord directs."
