"Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations", an angel declared to the prophet Nephi in 1 Nephi 14:10 in the Book of Mormon. In our day, the devil has recycled his original tactic--forced equity--and it has infiltrated all of the major institutions of western society, along with the other tenets of cultural Marxism. Marxism and satanism are one in the same and are advancing at a rapid pace. Being aware of the dangers of social or cultural Marxism can help to protect our societies and us personally from the devil's most successful deception.

Satan wants all of Father’s children to be under condemnation. He wants us to be miserable. He wants to draw attention to our sins and our weaknesses. He wants to exploit us and to destroy us. He constantly accuses us and the purpose of accusing someone is to cause a punishment to be enacted upon them.

Jesus, on the other hand, does the opposite. He gave His blood and His life so that you and I could escape condemnation. He wants us to be found innocent. He wants to draw the Father’s attention to Himself and away from our sins and our weaknesses. He desperately wants to help us avoid eternal punishment. "Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him" (Doctrine & Covenants 45:3).

Lucifer is called "the accuser of our brethren" (Revelation 12:10) while Jesus is called "the advocate with the Father". Which will we be---an accuser or an advocate?

Jesus taught the people in the Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." In part 2 of the series focused on the Preach My Gospel missionary manual, we look at the section titled “How Do I Study Effectively and Prepare to Teach?" This episode focuses on increasing our desire for learning and seeking sacred knowledge through the Holy Ghost.
