"In troubled times the Lord has always prepared a safe way ahead. We live in those 'perilous times' which the Apostle Paul prophesied would come in the last days (see 2 Timothy 3:1-7). If we are to be safe individually, as families, and secure as a church, it will be through 'obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel' (Articles of Faith 1:3). . . .
"That same Lucifer who was cast out of our Father's presence is still at work. He, with the angels who followed him, will trouble the work of the Lord and destroy it if he can.
"But we will stay the course. We will anchor ourselves as families and as a church to these principles and ordinances. Whatever tests lie ahead, and they will be many, we must remain true and faithful" (Boyd K. Packer, in "The Test," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 88, 91).
