"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." ~Ephesians 6:10-12
The Admonition of a Prophet
"We must learn the principles of the Constitution in the tradition of the Founding Fathers. Have we read the Fedralist papers? Are we reading the Constitution and pondering it? Are we aware of its priniciples?... Could we defend the Constitution? Can we recognize when a law is constitutionally unsound? Do we know what the prophets have said aobut the Consitution and the threats to it? As Jefferson said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never was and never will be."
As proponents of freedom "It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound." To this "we mutally pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." (Joseph Smith Jr., The Declaration of Independence)
