Set In Order Thy House
Our Vigilance against Evil Cannot Be Relaxed
"Parents and children should realize that strong opposition will
always come against the work and will of the Lord. Because the work (and
glory) of God is to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life as a
family, it logically follows that the work of the adversary will strike
directly at the heart of the home--the family. Relentlessly
Lucifer attacks the sanctity of life and the joy of
parenthood.
"Because the evil one is ever at work, our
vigilance cannot be relaxed--not even for a moment. A small and
seemingly innocent invitation can turn into a tall temptation which can
lead to tragic transgression. Night and day, at home or away, we must shun
sin and 'hold fast that which is good.' "
