The Lamanites cannot stand against us.

My friends, join us.

Come in and join us.

I, Mormon, speak unto you. And it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ because of the gift of his calling unto me,

that I am permitted to speak unto you at this time.

I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ,

and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord.

For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them;

for if their works be good, then they are good also.

God hath said a man being evil cannot do that which is good;

for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent

it profiteth him nothing.

What do you mean, by real intent?

A bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water;

neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water.

A man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ;

and if he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil.

All things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil;

for the devil inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.

But that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually;

wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.

Wherefore, take heed that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God,

or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.

How do we judge correctly, to know good from evil?

It is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil;

and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge,

as the daylight is from the dark night.

The Spirit of Christ is given to everyone, that they may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge;

for every thing which inviteth to do good, and persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ;

wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

Search diligently in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil;

and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing, and condemn not,

ye certainly will be a child of Christ.
