How could you not agree? “It’s not important that members of the church do what

They can to positively represent the church with their God given skills”..... (is the general sentiment not a quote of the post btw)

"Everyone needs to do for themselves” is kinda the opposite of what a good person does.

And don’t tell me crap about how Bryce Harper is this great ambassador for the church on his own. No doubt the guy is a good dude and does good things but most sports guys out there have no idea he is a member of the church they don’t make that connection unless it is specifically written about. This would be totally different had he played at BYU.
