I came across this quote from Neal A. Maxwell that I felt was relevant and worth sharing. We live in a time where more and more people are empowered through the accessibility of blogs and other media, to attack the church and the work that we are truly about. It is their right and of course I defend their right to do so. However, that does not make this quote any less applicable.
Here goes:
“If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.”
Thanks for the quote, but be careful going that route. I saw a bumper sticker recently that said - "I hated Obama before it was trendy."
ReplyDeleteI used to think that the greater the ferocity of the fight against something, the more potential for good that something may potentially posess. I realized the error of this thinking with the disgust and ferocity of the frustration and anger against Obama and his principles. Regardless, a great quote from Elder Maxwell. -GWH-
People aren't necessarily threatened by the truth, but by what they don't understand.
ReplyDeleteRather than seeking the next opportunity to attack, one should seek the knowledge and understanding of what it is that they are attacking.
Yeah, don't understand. We tend to put down that which we're not up on.
