WATCHMEN on the Tower: Our Living Prophets & Apostles


Pres. Monson: Be strong. The philosophies of men surround us. The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance. Do not be deceived; behind that facade is heartache, unhappiness, and pain. You know what is right and what is wrong, and no disguise, however appealing, can change that. The character of transgression remains the same. If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, YOU be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.

There is no friendship more valuable than your own clear conscience, your own moral cleanliness--and what a glorious feeling it is to know that you stand in your appointed place clean and with the confidence that you are worthy to do so.

My Thoughts:
Living a life where you are true to your own moral conscious is truly a wonderful feeling of happiness and joy. There is the outside of us that can be so easily influenced by the evil and wrong in the world; there is also the inside of us that truly knows right from wrong and it is when we betray the inside part of us that misery and unhappiness prevail. If we continuously betray what is right for that which is wrong, we can reach a point where we have no conscious at all, we have seared it. We have truly killed the true self when we do that.

Live a life that is good to God, mankind and self. Care, be kind, choose the right and listen to your own moral compass more than you listen to mankind, who can and will lead you astray.

Listen to the words of the Prophet. He will not lead you astray.
