‘Ours is not a moral society, but I know it is possible to live a moral life in the midst of great sin. It is a challenge, to be sure, but it is possible. God has called upon us in the household of faith to stand aloof from the sins of this world. We do so as we avoid, as we would a plague (for surely it is), the videos, the motion pictures, the television programs, the music, and the literature that stifle spiritual sensitivity and deaden those holy emotions and attributes that have always characterized the Lord’s people. We are called to a life of holiness. We are called to be a light to a world that wanders in darkness.’ ~ Robert L. Millett, Christ-Centered Living
Thus we are to ponder signs without becoming paranoid, and to be aware without frantically keeping score between current events and scriptural expectations. The wise will use his or her energy in serving God and man instead of fretting and will resist secularism’s heavy sedation. ~ Elder Neal A. Maxwell, If Thou Endure It Well, p.12
