Mosiah 29

(March 14, 2015)

                This chapter contains a lot of worrisome truths about unrighteous governments, but not a lot of hopeful answers about how to deal with them.  We are blessed that we don’t have to worry about dethroning an iniquitous king (despite some of the hyperbole spread about our current leadership, there is really no comparison), but we are still in the position at both a national and local level (with both parties) of dealing with friends in iniquity, tearing up righteous laws, and so forth.

                So what is the solution?  I don’t see that this chapter provides a solution.  But fortunately that is one of the blessings of continuing revelation and modern prophets and apostles to guide us going forward.  And we have their counsels on good government and responsible citizenship.
