“Remembering that this is all about protecting your family
from the destructive influences of Satan makes it easier and more compelling to
engage in the battle. Even though we know the ultimate ending and who will win
the battle, this is our opportunity to show the Lord that he can count on us,
whatever the odds may be, or however sure of the outcome we are. This is our
chance to show our devotion to the Lord, enough to fight for His principles to
our dying day. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland put it this way: ‘The future of this
world has long been declared; the final outcome between good and evil is
already known. There is absolutely no question as to who wins because the
victory has already been posted on the scoreboard. The only really strange
thing in all of this is that we are still down here on the field trying to
decide which team’s jersey we want to wear!’” – Gary and Joy Lundberg
