3 Nephi 5

(November 21, 2015)

                I am continually shocked by how quickly society can regress from a point where everyone believes to a point where almost everyone is apostate in a matter of a few years.  But, of course, when I look back over the course of my own life I can see similar swings in myself – there were times when I was living the Gospel, only to turn from it a short time later (less years than it took the Nephites in this chapter).

                The takeaway, of course, is that we can never become complacent in what we are doing and turning our wills over to the Lord must remain a constant struggle against sin and our natures until we can present our whole will to God as an offering.
