As submitted in my first post, I again relate part of what President Benson had to say.lundbaek wrote:Why are we no longer taught that unless we members of the Church do all we can to preserve the freedoms we have, within the bounds of the laws of God, we will be held accountable?
President Benson said in a conference that those who are not willing to stand up for freedom do not deserve to be an American citizen, and warned against complacency. He also states that by actively doing something for the cause of freedom may well save one's soul. Sounds like we have a lot of personal responsibility.
He also states that government issues should be talked about in church.
