I love these words of wisdom!
I love that man:
"Today two mighty forces are battling
for the supremacy of the world. The destiny of mankind is in the
balance. It is a question of God and liberty, or atheism and slavery . .
. Those forces are known and have been designated by Satan on the one
hand, and Christ on the other. In Joshua's time they were called 'gods
of the Amorites,' for one, and 'the Lord' on the other . . . In these
days, they are called 'domination by the state,' on one hand, 'personal
liberty,' on the other; communism on one, free agency on the other" - David O' McKay
"It might hurt your business or your family," says the devil,
"and besides why not let the gentiles save the country? They aren't as
busy as you are." Well, there were many businessmen who went along with
Hitler because it supposedly helped their business. They lost
everything. Many of us are here today because our forefathers loved
truth enough that they fought at Valley Forge or crossed the plains in
spite of the price it cost them or their families. We had better take
our small pain now than our greater loss later. There were souls who
wished afterwards that they had stood and fought with Washington and the
founding fathers, but they waited too long—they passed up eternal
glory. There has never been a greater time than now to stand up against
entrenched evil. And while the gentiles established the Constitution, we
have a divine mandate to preserve it. But unfortunately today in this
freedom struggle, many gentiles are showing greater wisdom in their
generation than the children of light" (Luke 16:8). - Ezra Taft Benson
"Don't worry," says the devil,
"the Lord will protect you, and besides the world is so corrupt and
heading toward destruction at such a pace that you can't stop it, so why
try." Well, to begin with, the Lord will not protect us unless we do
our part. This devilish tactic of persuading people not to get concerned
because the Lord will protect them no matter what they do is exposed by
the Book of Mormon. Referring to the devil, it says, "And others will
he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, and they will say:
All is well in Zion, yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the
devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell" (2 Ne. 28:21) - Ezra Taft Benson
"Brethren,
if we had done our homework and were faithful, we could step forward at
this time and help save this country. The fact that most of us are
unprepared to do it is an indictment we will have to bear. The longer we
wait, the heavier the chains, the deeper the blood, the more the
persecution, and the less we can carry out our God-given mandate and
worldwide mission. The war in heaven is raging on earth today. Are you
being neutralized in the battle?
"Verily I say, men should be
anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free
will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
"For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves" (D&C 58:27-28). - Ezra Taft Benson
Going to steal this! Thanks!
