Ward Update August 22

 Leadership Message

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Taylorsville 23rd Ward, 

As I was reading Moroni Chapter 7 where Moroni writes some of the words of his father Mormon that he preached to his people regarding faith, hope and charity. I was particularly focused on the beginning verses of this chapter where Mormon teaches his people about how they can know if something is from God or from the devil beginning in verse 12, he says “all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil.”  

In verse 13 he says “But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do agood continually; wherefore, everything which inviteth and benticeth to do cgood, and to love God, and to serve him, is dinspired of God.”

Mormon goes on in verse 14 to warn against judging that which is evil to be of God or that which is good and of God to be of the devil. In verse 15 he explains that it is given unto us to judge good from evil and it is as plain that we may know with a perfect knowledge as the daylight differs from the night.

16 For behold, the aSpirit of Christ is given to every bman, that he may cknow good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for everything which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

May each of us remember that all children of God, including ourselves are given the Spirit of Christ to light the way for us, that we may know good from evil. I invite us to read and ponder the words of Mormon written in Moroni chapter 7 and may the message be helpful and hopeful to each of us as we journey here in mortality striving to keep God’s commandments and may we choose the better part.

Brother Leonard Feil
