We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Who am I to judge?



“And thus we see that the Nephites began to dwindle in unbelief and grow in wickedness and abominations, while the Lamanites began to grow exceedingly in the knowledge of their God, yea, they did begin to keep his statutes and commandments and to walk in truth and uprightness before him. And thus we see that the Spirit of the Lord began to withdraw from the Nephites, because of the wickedness and the hardness of their hearts.” (Helaman 6: 34-35)
So could it be that God judges us by our obedience to his laws, and not because of our title, nationality or the color of our skin? Yup. I think so. Just because we have been outcast does not mean that we can’t repent and become righteous in the sight of God.
