(May 14, 2014)
Part of the problem with wickedness is that, ultimately, nobody is on the same team. Everyone is really just in it for themselves. Few people don the shirt proudly proclaiming that they support “Team Evil” (although, sadly, it seems to actually be happening from time to time now). Instead, they just selfishly seek out what they feel to be in their best interests. In this way, they are like a yoke with oxen pulling in opposite directions – a lot of mud gets kicked around but nothing really gets down.
That is the great advantage of the Gospel – there are many who willingly take the mantle of “Team Good” (to the best of their ability). And that is why it is so important that we form a Zion society – because, short of Divine intervention, our shared hearts and mind may be our most powerful resource in contending with the Adversary in this fallen world.
