What does it mean to live in perilous
times?
Perilous defined in the dictionary
states: Full of danger.
Is our mortal life full of danger?
If so, why? Why are there so many influences to bring us to
destruction? Why are some not taking a stand for truth and righteousness?
Why then must be stand-alone more often, than in a crowd of evildoers
forsaking truth?
We live in a day and age where divorce is
running rapid, same sex marriage is accepted, physical ailments are numerous,
pain and anguish are becoming a choice and lifestyle rather than a teaching
experience.
Why must our precious brothers and
sisters perish in disbelief?
God's plan of happiness is being replaced
with temporal deceit.
These are perilous times!
Russell M. Nelson said, “Brothers and sisters, undergirded by
incontrovertible truth, proclaim your love for God! Proclaim your love for all
human beings “with malice toward none, with charity for all.” They as
children of God are our brothers and sisters. We value their rights and
feelings. But we cannot condone efforts to change divine doctrine. It is not
for man to change. God loves His children.
And if they love Him, they will show that love by keeping His commandments, including
chastity before marriage and total fidelity within marriage. Scriptures warn
that behavior contrary to the commandments of the Lord will not only deprive
couples of divinely approved intimacy but will bring about the stern judgments
of God.”
We live in perilous
times. We must stand firm in the faith and obey the commandments. God has given
us instructions in the scriptures to stay protected from the harsh winds of the
adversary. It is the daily test we have to see whether or not we get blown away
or are tightly rooted in truth.
Timothy 3:1
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."
Deuteronomy 31:6,8
"6 Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
