As Paul prophesied, we live in "perilous times." Satan has been going about, leading away the hearts of the people," and his influence is increasing. But no matter how evil the world becomes, our families can be at peace. If we do what's right, we will be guided and protected. The hymn often sung by our pioneer ancestors tells us what to do: "Gird up your loins; fresh courage take. Our God will never us forsake." That courage and faith is what we need as parents and families in these latter days.
