Students at universities are sometimes so filled with the doctrines of the world they begin to question the doctrines of the gospel.
From Ezra Taft Benson
The false prophets of Communism predict a utopian society.
I am a witness to nations and people deprived of their freedom. I was there. I watched that great Iron Curtain drop around nations which formerly had prized their freedom - good people. I was aghast as these were written off by the stroke of a pen.
No nation which has kept the commandments of God has ever perished, but I say to you that once freedom is lost, only blood - human blood - will win it back.
Fear of men's judgment manifests itself in competition for men's approval.
Selfishness is one of the more common faces of pride. 'How everything affects me' is the center of all that matters - self-conceit, self-pity, worldly self-fulfillment, self-gratification, and self-seeking.
Pride adversely affects all our relationships - our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind.
God will have a humble people. Either we can choose to be humble, or we can be compelled to be humble.
The founders had a strong distrust for centralized power in a federal government. So they created a government with checks and balances. This was to prevent any branch of the government from becoming too powerful.
Constitutional government, as designed by the framers, will survive only with a righteous people.
