Today was a comfortable Sunday. Testimonies were just that. Sunday School was instructive. And third hour found us in the company of our Bishop and his inspired message.
He spoke to us about the world in which we find ourselves and the assault upon us and our beliefs and made a comparison to the Lamanite’s attack on the Nephites in the forty-third chapter of Alma. Although the Nephites were better prepared for battle, having armor and shields, there came a point in the battle that the fierceness and anger of the Lamanites caused them to doubt. They would have given up had it not been for Moroni who plucked them from disaster and caused them to stand their ground. “And it came to pass that they turned upon the Lamanites, and they cried with one voice unto the Lord their God… And they began to stand against the Lamanites with power…”
In this world where the assaults upon us are mostly individual and seldom seen as an organized attack upon us collectively, the question is how do we “cry unto the Lord with one voice”? How can we accomplish that as families and as a church?
The answer to that is something I’d like you to consider and ponder upon. Perhaps make it a question to bring to a family home evening. And if you wish share your thoughts with me.
