Safety

I have been thinking a lot about getting a motorcycle since being home off my mission. I have been trying to see how much money I am really going to have to put into them and there are a few things that I need on top of the bike itself that a person needs. A helmet is very important! What if you split your skull open?? Huh huh? Yeah that's bad! A helmet can prevent that kind of thing from happening. Also bike insurance... I cant say I would like to pay for these things, but.. I have to admit insurance on a bike would be very very nice to have! Just these two things can protect from physical danger on a great ride!

There is another type of danger that is in the world and reading The Book of Mormon can protect you!

Prophecies regarding the last days often refer to large-scale calamities such as earthquakes or famines or floods. These in turn may be linked to widespread economic or political upheavals of one kind or another.

But there is one kind of latter-day destruction that has always sounded to me more personal than public, more individual than collective—a warning, perhaps more applicable inside the Church than outside it. The Savior warned that in the last days even those of the covenant, the very elect, could be deceived by the enemy of truth. ¹ If we think of this as a form of spiritual destruction, it may cast light on another latter-day prophecy. Think of the heart as the figurative center of our faith, the poetic location of our loyalties and our values; then consider Jesus’s declaration that in the last days “men’s hearts [shall fail] them.” ²

Brothers and sisters, God always provides safety for the soul, and with the Book of Mormon, He has again done that in our time. Remember this declaration by Jesus Himself: “Whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived” ¹⁵ —and in the last days neither your heart nor your faith will fail you. Of this I earnestly testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
