I say this at the risk of offending someone because offending anyone is the tell-tale sign of its arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">It is shocking, at least to me, that morality is now placed in such a negative light, while sin is being flaunted, protected, and nurtured all around us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Neal A. Maxwell spoke (as always so beautifully) \u00a0on \u201cThe Man of Christ.\u201d Jesus Christ is the only one worth emulating and the only one we should be worried about offending, yet we live in a world where we could be jailed for not addressing a new-gender person the way they want to be addressed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Instead of talking about the insanity that is surrounding this downturned world, I\u2019d like to just point out some of the more beautiful truths Elder Maxwell shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe disciple worships an unchanging God, and proclaims that the good tidings are brought anew; for the gospel is not merely a gospel for one age, for one people, or for one place&#8211;it is a gospel for the galaxies!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">There are those who are fighting desperately to change our world. Shouldn\u2019t we instead work at changing our hearts?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cWe bind the adversary and his mortal minions only as we bind our appetites.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Our world allows everyone to have a voice and those voices are walking over other voices demanding to be heard. There seem to be only a few who realize the truth that controlling ourselves is what actually sets us free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201c[The man of Christ] knows that in leadership cleverness is not as important as content, that charisma and dash are not as vital as character and doctrine.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">There are more and more people&#8211;inside the church&#8211;who will choose entertainment over pure doctrine. I often wonder how God can be so very patient with us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe spirit of sacrifice is alive and well among those who travel <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> way!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Yes, those who understand the gospel of Jesus Christ understand what sacrifice means. This concept is not taught in the world today. But it can still be taught in our homes so that when our children grow up and begin attending the temple they will recognize it as one of the more important principles to live by as true disciples of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The war is raging all around us and it\u2019s easy to get swept away in this lost civilization. Let yourselves be found.

I am a wife, mother of six, and grandmother of six. Besides enjoying my research into the history of the Relief Society, I also read voraciously, make art quilts, and volunteer for too many things. I am also working on a Creative Writing degree from BYU\u2019s online program. Most of all, I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.","sameAs":["https:\/\/reliefsocietywomen.com","Jan"],"url":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/author\/jtolman\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Machu-Pichu.jpg?fit=540%2C405&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8916"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8924,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8916\/revisions\/8924"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
