I don't think my posting yesterday on marriage was very popular. But then again, a lot of things the prophets say are not popular. Truth is not always welcome. I have a quote today from our current prophet, which I think will be better received. Anyone who has read a few of my blog postings knows that I talk quite a bit about the unraveling of the moral fabric of society. So this is an encouraging quote by the prophet to help us remember that despite the adversary and his tactics to destroy us, we can and will win the war, if we rely on our Heavenly Father. Enjoy the quote.
"The world can at times be a frightening place in which to live. The moral fabric of society seems to be unraveling at an alarming speed. None—whether young or old or in-between—is exempt from exposure to those things which have the potential to drag us down and destroy us. Our youth, our precious youth, in particular, face temptations we can scarcely comprehend. The adversary and his hosts seem to be working nonstop to cause our downfall. "We are waging a war with sin, my brothers and sisters, but we need not despair. It is a war we can and will win. Our Father in Heaven has given us the tools we need in order to do so. He is at the helm. We have nothing to fear. He is the God of light. He is the God of hope. I testify that He loves us—each one."
Thomas S. Monson, "Looking Back and Moving Forward," Ensign, May 2008, 90
That's my two cents.
Yes Tammy the adversary is always trying to find ways to win us over. He has had a tight grip on me, more than I would like to remember, but if we listen to our teachings, we can defeat the wicked ways he trys to bring us down to. Very interesting posting and should get some well deserved comments.
ReplyDeleteGood quote Tam.
