"For I say unto you that whatsoever is good cometh from God, and whatsoever is evil cometh from the devil.
Therefore, if a man bringeth forth good works he hearkeneth unto the voice of the good shepherd, and he doth follow him; but whosoever bringeth forth evil works, the same becometh a child of the devil, for he hearkeneth unto his voice, and doth follow him."
Alma 5:40-41
I think sometimes we resist taking sides, which can be good with human things sometimes... not getting involved in the conflicts or trying to work for good and be pro what you believe in rather than anti-something. I think where it is bad is what these verses explain. On Earth, we are effectively children compared to God, and in spiritual areas, we have to choose sides. We can't stay on the fence. If we aren't working for God, we really are working against him. We have to commit to doing good and helping others, or we are effectively voting for Satan.
Today, let's choose the Lord. He's the one that gives us the freedom to choose other things rather than trapping us in chains of our own making. God will help us to safety if we need it. Let's turn to him for a new chance, and a new and better life.
