“Woe unto you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites!” (Matt23) Now as then, we live in an impossibly complex social system set up to virtue-signal & cancel people. No one is left out—there are rules that reach anyone. Why? Bc scared people don’t speak. They are easily led. #HearHim
How did Christ handle it? He spoke the truth anyway. He valued eternal law over personal comfort. He rebuked the oppressors & defended the weak. He abandoned all thought of reputation, even until they took his life. Will we exhibit the smallest part of his courage to follow him?
This life is made to cancel us. If you haven’t been cancelled by the world yet, now is a good time try harder. If you find yourself at ease with society, examine your priorities. What can you do today to remind God you’re on his side, & remind the devil you’re not his friend?
Say something righteous, true, & wildly unpopular today. Disturb the devils & wake the angels. Put on God’s armor & hoist his banner above you. Leave no doubt & leave no one behind. Your neighbor is not your enemy. Fight evil, not each other. Go get cancelled. There’s work to do.

“Your spirit is an eternal entity. Your Heavenly Father has known you for a very long time. You, as His son or daughter, were chosen by Him to come to earth at this precise time, to be a leader in His great work on earth.” #RussellMNelson
He has known you for a very long time, and you have known *him* for a very long time. He hasn’t forgotten you; he watches every moment & assists even when you don’t notice. You, on the other hand, had to forget. That’s the test. To win is to remember, embrace, & endure. #HearHim
This is the entire individual work of a mortal human being: to remember him. It’s in you, waiting to be discovered. We who have already remembered are under covenant to help others remember, because he loves them as infinitely as he loves each of us.

“The world in which we now live is moving rapidly away from the teachings of Christ in its laws & customs. As a result, Satan is working overtime to confuse God’s sons & daughters & to divert the very elect from fulfilling their duty & receiving the Lord’s blessings.” #Ballard
“Satan wants you to stop practicing good habits such as daily scripture study, praying daily, worthily partaking of the sacrament weekly, and giving genuine, heartfelt service. He also wants you to stand on the sidelines in today’s important and crucial battles.” #MRussellBallard
“Remember, we are at war—but not a war of guns and bullets. Nevertheless, the war is real, with countless human casualties. The war is in fact a continuation of the one that began in the premortal world.” #MRusselBallard 2015

“Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others...” #Dostoyevsky
“Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and himself.” #Dostoyevsky
Why is self-deception a prominent feature in self-destruction? Because moral absolutes exist & are inborn to each person on earth—“It is given unto them to know good from evil; wherefore they are agents unto themselves” (Moses 6:56). We know. To excuse sin, we must lie.

Remember all those times you told yourself it was time to improve the quality of your prayers? It’s really time now. I have a few suggestions...
1. Practice. Commit to morning and night, on your knees by your bed. Even if it feels futile, make that your unwavering commitment and keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking.
2. Just talk. I’m a writer. When someone says “I don’t know what to put on the paper,” I tell them “What’s the conversation going on in your head? Write it down. If you don’t know what to say, say ‘I don’t know what to say.’ Don’t worry if it’s clumsy. It’ll come to you in time.

Noah, The Brother of Jared, & Nephi were prophets from different eras. God told them to to build vessels for a perilous journey. The blueprints were of curious workmanship unknown to man. But their boats were not the same. Their journeys & their purposes were not identical.
The Lord knew their respective needs, & he knew that the instructions they needed did not yet exist on earth. They endured doubt & scorn from others, yet they obeyed exactly. They had ears to hear the Lord & arms prepared to do the work.
We too need specific instructions not fully available on earth. We have a prophet who listens, obeys, & instructs. We have ordinances, Priesthood, tools, & a mandate to call upon God for personal revelation. The Church is a ship of curious workmanship. Our personal ships are too.

Faith = to hope for things not seen which are true. Spiritual truth requires spiritual understanding. Imagine trying to prove French is meaningless because you only speak English. No one trying to disprove your faith will ever tell you to ask God or believe your prayers.
They’ll convince you to use English to prove French—to use physical means to prove spiritual realities. You might convince some people. But no soul will convert within from something you said about the world outside of them. Scholars speak brain. The Holy Ghost speaks spirit.
In times as blinding as these, when no one takes God at his word nor acknowledges heaven as a valid source, we must immerse ourselves in the language of the spirit. Satan has his tricks, but even his most persuasive dogmas are but gibberish before the power of the Holy Ghost.
