2 Nephi 18


It’s  interesting how he talks about Christ being a stumbling block. It makes me think about Elder Oaks’ talk about religious freedom being threatened, and how people don’t believe that a religious justification for anything is valid anymore. Like you have to have some other reason to vote on an issue than your beliefs, as if reason was more important than God. And so people seem to do the wrong thing just to not do it based on that, to not be weak and follow Christ. And sometimes I’m distracted by caring about the things of the world, and worrying about what the world thinks, but it is really only ever Him I need to worry about pleasing. And then all will be right in the end. I wonder why that’s such a hard concept to trust.
