Alma 60:36

Matt — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:49:51 +0000

If only today’s national leaders could honestly say to us:

“Behold, I am Moroni, your chief captain. I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country.”

- Alma 60:36

Our founding fathers (of the United States) had this conviction. Imagine if today’s presidents did. Do they? I suspect not. If they cave to believe the corruptness of the people, then it’s not “politically correct” for them to have this conviction.

If a leader truly had this conviction, they would declare it; for it defines who they are, and they would not lie, being whole with integrity and revering God.

What if Clinton revered God? Obama?

As stated in 3 Nephi 27:13-21 by the Lord Jesus Christ himself when He visits the people in America. Items 4-7 are the fundamental principles and ordinances of the Gospel.
