Rock of Our Redeemer

If you are like me, I'm sure you're sometimes weighed down with the evil that is in our world today. Elder Quintin L. Cook recently gave a talk at BYU that discusses these evil trends and how the adversary has inverted traditional values - bad is good and good is bad.

Just like Isaiah prophesied in Chapter 5:20 (See also 2 Nephi 15)

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

To resist these evils, we must be built upon the Rock of our Redeemer.

Helaman 5:12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Please be wise and choose the banquet of happiness that awaits the saints of God.
