Today's Favorite Verse: Alma 46:6-7
"Thus they were led away by Amalickiah to dissensions, notwithstanding the preaching of Helaman and his brethren, yea, notwithstanding their exceedingly great care over the church, for they were high priests over the church.
And there were many in the church who believed in the flattering words of Amalickiah, therefore they dissented even from the church; and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi exceedingly precarious and dangerous, notwithstanding their great victory which they had had over the Lamanites, and their great rejoicings which they had had because of their deliverance by the hand of the Lord."
I can see a parallel to this today. The prophet has warned us and pleaded with us to be cautious but it breaks my heart to see people much more interested in listening to the flattering words of others. It is a deception to make them think they are serving a high cause, that they are being patriots. When you seek to be a patriot over listening to the warning counsel of the prophet you have stepped on dangerous territory.
Day 1904
