It's intersting reading these chapters in Helaman where these people know right from wrong and yet they often times choose to sin. There is a clear line between right and wrong and Satan is making everything a gray area. Things that 30 years ago we would have never thougth of as a problem are becomging a big problem now. Things like transgender bathrooms. Questions nobody has asked before in the history of time are being asked; like should we let the sexually confused do what they want?
We are letting Satan win the war if we give him the victory over a few battles. 

 "Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their should with joy and consltation," (Helaman 3:35)

This is what we need to do is strengthen our faith, learn to rely on God and believe everything we are is because of Him, and give Him the glory like our Lord Jesus Christ did. When our faith is stengthened in Him it is easier to have that faith and humility in our Lord and God. I also believe we will be more willing to do our Father in Heavens will.

Blessing: I have a new home to live in.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
