by Elder M. Russell Ballard

“Fathers, not only do you have the right to know the worthiness of your children, you have the responsibility. It is your duty to know how your children are doing with regards to their spiritual well-being and progression. . . . Ask specific questions regarding their worthiness, and refuse to settle for anything less than specific answers.”

(M. Russell Ballard, “The Greatest Generation of Missionaries,” Ensign, Nov. 2002, 48)
