Jacob 2

4 For behold, as yet, ye have been obedient unto the word of the Lord, which I have given unto you.
5 But behold, hearken ye unto me, and know that by the help of the all–powerful Creator of heaven and earth I can tell you concerning your thoughts, how that ye are beginning to labor in sin, which sin appeareth very abominable unto me, yea, and abominable unto God.

(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:4 - 5)

So, far, you've been good. You know it & I know it, but it's your thoughts that worry me. Change begins in the mind. All things are created spiritually first, God shows this in the scriptures when he creates the Earth. We follow the same path...our creations begin in our mind. So, if we can learn to control our minds, we can control ourselves.

35 Behold, ye have done greater iniquities than the Lamanites, our brethren. Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives, and lost the confidence of your children, because of your bad examples before them; and the sobbings of their hearts ascend up to God against you. And because of the strictness of the word of God, which cometh down against you, many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.

(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:35)

I've read this before, but today it really struck within me the importance of family--caring for, supporting & trusting. If you remember, the Lamanites were bloodthirsty, godless people. But the Nephites here have done worse--they've cheated on their spouses, broken their children's hearts. Hmmm, and the world today wonders why immorality is so bad. I actually had to explain to a friend the other day WHY pornography wasn't a good outlet for her teen--had she never thought of its addictiveness? How he would treat his future wife? People's higher inclination to cheat on a spouse after seeing the stuff? How can we be so blind?
